Hi, I'm curious why the only two mission goals of civ should be to either conquer the world or to succeed in space race. Transferred to everyday real life behaviour, that's probably the thing most people don't like -- dominant egoists. Hence, I was pondering on an alternative mission goal -- which could be more real life compatible, improving the social abilities of the player. So, what do you think about another one or two exit conditions for freeciv, like e.g. 50 years (or turns) of world peace/non-war or averagely e.g. 2 military units per city (i.e. no military aggregations anywhere)? -- cheers ...

I do not understand why you still screen its all. I have collected already so much proofs, that listening to your remarks is inclined to think as at you with it something too was. Now I already avoiding half-words send photos where it does sucked to my boss! Well, also what you to me on it will tell? P.S. To anybody it do not show. If I from your neighbour learn as you have transformed it into a circus, I to you guarantee troubles. Within the next few days do not write, I have already drunk in office and I think to go for city that and you I wish. -- Best regards, berdegue mailto:berdegue@... -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/x-zip-compressed -- File: DC003.JPG.zip

Hi, when the extra message dialogs increase to dozens a turn, it would be nice, if their main message content could be recognized intuitively. That goal could be gained by adding a visual hint to the message. Then, the player won't need to read every single message, but instead could recognize the content of the message visually. That would support the user in getting the messages handled most quickly. e.g.: * If a building/unit cannot be build: show the building/unit icon, but crossed out in red. * If a city was conquered, a three icons sequence could be drawn: conquering unit (an arrow like this:) -> symbol of the city which was conquered. This visual message would become even more convincing if the nation flag of the conquering unit and if the city symbol would be shown including city size. -- cheers ... Wolfram
hey all I've uploaded the latest version of rndCiv-0.9.3 to http://banjo.actrix.com/code/rndCiv/ rndCiv 0.9.3 for freeciv 2.1.beta, ive added an obsoletes entry to the ruleset.summary, which showed me some stupid behaviour in the rulesets which ive tweaked. I've also written and uploaded rndCivMaker, which instead of being a cgi script, it's now meant to be run from cron steadily creating new random rulesets - it's fairly sane, & won't fill your hard drive, expose your server to attacks, or generally be bad. All you need to do is edit some conf and template files, set up an hourly or daily cron job and people can download juicy rulesets to test. enjoy -banjo
Hi, currently the Work List tab of the City dialog contains two lists, one showing the next n units to build (left) and another one showing the units which can be built (right). I think, for experienced users it would be much more convenient, if there were a stripped down alternative to the list view of the buildable units. That stripped down alternative could be a palette just as the tools palette in Gimp. Cost info and unit names could be moved to a tooltip instead. That probably would reduce the need for scrolling there a lot. Also, the items could be sorted better in a palette, and most often used ones could be moved to the top, e.g. civil units and capitalization. -- cheers, ... Wolfram If things are misnamed, I am sorry, but I only play a localized version of freeciv.
Hi, on large civilizations I often need a report on ongoing battles. Hence it would be nice, if you could add such an report/tab that shows which cities became attacked the just before the user may play its assets. Having such a report, it would become more convenient to move strong troops to the locations currently under attack. The report should also mention locations where own units automatically attacked adversary units. I think, a list of city names and graphical bars would be best adaequate for such a kind of report. (The bars could be colored red..green, just as the units health bars, and the bars' length could be related to the total amount of attacks.) -- cheers ... Wolfram
hey all I've uploaded the latest versions of rndCiv to http://banjo.actrix.com/code/rndCiv/ rndCiv 0.7.3 for freeciv 2.0.8, seems to work good. rndCiv 0.9.2 for freeciv 2.1.beta. this is a lot better, i can run complex games for many turns (200+), sometimes there are crashes - but they're getting rare. no cgi ruleset builder yet, later this week. enjoy -banjo
hey ive just tested and found that rndCiv 0.7.2 works fine for freeciv 2.0.8. I'm thinking about modifying the rulesets for that version and would like input from other players. One of the things ive been thinking about is how the Fantasy Races work - currently (in rndCiv 0.7.2) you build a wonder (Mountain Hall, Elveshome, Pyrates Cove, Orcs Nest) and then you can (depending on if you've the tech reqs) build specialty units. But they then can only be built in that one city (the one with the wonder), the overall effect is that you don't tend to build very many & they have a minor affect on the game. I am thinking that building the wonder could allow you to build certain buildings in your cities which would then allow you to build the fantasy units in more than one city. However this would mean that if you lost the wonder you'd still be able to build the fantasy units, and then so would the player that took the wonder (assuming it wasn't destroyed), you could even have the city with the wonder being passed around your allies and they could each start producing the special units. Is this a good or bad thing? So anyway rndCiv 0.7.2 for freeciv 2.0.8 works fine, and i would like help to tune and improve the misc rulesets. I'll start a forum thread. I have also had some enquires from windows users on how to install rndCiv, but coz i don't use windows, all i can tell them is "install perl". If a windows user has successfully installed rndCiv, could they(Continue reading)
