Can anyhbody explain why it's there? It means that if scenario (or even bribing in special ruleset) provides player with special unit not available for him/her to build (I wonder if this prevents upgrdes of UTYF_UNIQUE units altogether, as you would be unable to build another when you already have the one you want to upgrade) there's no way to later upgrade such units to somethithing player *can* build. The case where this came up was when I tried to test upgrading with giving tech for more advanced unit to player. Upgrade was not possible since I had no tech for the original unit (can't upgrade Pahalanx to Musketeers when you have Gunpowder but not Bronze Working) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?20460 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Again, culture could contribute to migration score, but it cannot replace it. But there's one very simple solution. Let's not make culture to give unrealistic bonuses to be used in a way to victory, but to be the victory condition itself. Let's simply add optional victory condition for cultural domination, and everyone has to build their culture at least to prevent others from winning. I agree with that. sent from Lion Edison Carter: Security Systems has its tendrils into every element of our society - the government, our homes, the police, the courts - I'm not gonna spike this story just because it deals with dollar amounts beyond your comprehension!

Yes, I think migration has fundamental design flaw in that there's simply no way for new/small cities to defend themselves against it, so it's impossible to found new cities near already well established cities. I've tried to work around this in my own rulesets, but most of the time I end just disabling migration. - ML ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Marko Lindqvist writes: Yes, I think migration has fundamental design flaw in that there's simply no way for new/small cities to defend themselves against it, so it's impossible to found new cities near already well established cities. It's not completely impossible. I've had some success with making a pile of settlers and founding a size-7 or so city in a single turn near a black hole megacity. However, sometimes even that isn't sufficient, and the lack of infrastructure can be a problem (and doesn't help with the migration score); it helps to also have a massive pile of money to buy a building a turn to make the city viable / desirable. So, it does certainly take considerable organisation and economic surplus. Not arguing it couldn't be improved... I wonder if there should be a minimum city size for outward migration in some circumstances. Say, a city of size 2 is immune to international migration, so foreign cities aren't completely disbanded -- there's a core of people who'll never drift across the border. Or some way a player can invest in a city (say buildings) so that citizens below a certain city size won't migrate. I don't think that should be universal; I kind of like how megacities swallow up their smaller neighbours in the same nation, like London swallowing up all the little towns around it -- especially when the citymap gets bigger with the population, as in the current experimental ruleset. Everything gets centralised in fewer cities, and that has advantages and disadvantages. Having lots of little rump size-2 cities would just be annoying. Back to culture: we've got the nationality feature that doesn't do a lot at the moment. I found this idea somewhat reminiscent of CivIV culture. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #20462] Illegal requirement types considered None and not an error

Summary: Illegal requirement types considered None and not
an error
Project: Freeciv
Submitted by: cazfi
Submitted on: Tue 29 Jan 2013 02:52:53 AM EET
Category: general
Severity: 3 - Normal
Priority: 5 - Normal
Status: None
Assigned to: None
Originator Email:
Open/Closed: Open
Release:
Discussion Lock: Any
Operating System: None
Planned Release:
___
Details:
Due to typo in requirement name I had a long debugging session. The typo
caused no kind of warning from ruleset loading as illegal type name is
silently translated to None.
universal_by_rule_name():
source.kind = universals_n_by_name(kind, fc_strcasecmp);
if (!universals_n_is_valid(source.kind)) {
source.kind = VUT_NONE;
}
Is there *any* need for requirement type None in the first place? One can
leave requirement vector empty if needed. And if there is, would it hurt to
require it to be always explicitly given? I think above code is meant to set
VUT_NONE in case when there's no requirement type at all.

I found this idea somewhat reminiscent of CivIV culture. I consider the two concepts separate, though in real life a lot of culture (or all, for certain meaning of the word) is specific to nationality. For the interaction of the two concepts, I've considered making multicultural cities to produce more culture than those with only one nationality. Anyway, for the schedule question, I have now decided to work on some nationality patches first so we get it a bit improved to 2.5. - ML ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
