I've been meaning to ask about that. READMEs that are around <http://download.gna.org/freeciv/contrib/modpacks/ancients/ancients-2.0.2.README> suggest that Daniel used to look after it around 2.0/2.1. I guess you've been caretaking for 2.2/2.3 and would like to know if it's worth it? I guess the original author(s) are long gone. I don't know about the default modpack list, but it looks functional and even has its own tileset, which is more than most of the available modpacks. On the other hand, I haven't tried actually playing it to see if it still plays well. If we are keeping it around, perhaps we should also rescue the Ampcients tileset (well, unit set) from <http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/167274-Unit-pack-for-Ancients-modpack?s=> assuming the licensing works out (it's derived from Amplio which is GPL, so it's also GPL, right?) and turn it into a modpack download (or just include it with Ancients). (It needs Amplio and we don't have dependencies for modpacks... yet... but if we just make it download Amplio files to Amplio locations, you should be able to install either or both of Amplio and Ampcients and everything will probably Just Work with just one copy of the files on the user's disc... right? Or we could just make it use Amplio2 tiles which are guaranteed to be installed.) _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
