Regardless of any kind of silly appeals to realism or even more preposterous suspicions of political agenda, I would want the global warming behaviour to be adjustable by users based on my own observations of multiplayer games. We have had a server setting to turn off global warming for a long time in the server part of the warclient project, and in the past many months, disabled global warming has been the default for online games because the majority of players would appear to prefer it that way. > 2. > How 'bout a worker unit and global army maintenance, like in CivIII? There is a worker unit already... :| Could you be a little more specific? If you give a clear and detailed specification of what you would like, and it is a good idea, then that would raise the chances of someone becoming interested in implementing it for you. Well... maybe. ;) _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
