URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40023 Hello: I'm getting copies of these e-mails between you guys, which seems good, but since the guest login is disabled at the bug report site, I have no way of knowing what you're referring to - I cannot find or view these other tickets and the links all take me to that same login page - unless I'm missing something obvious. Similarly, it seems impossible to do any kind of check before submitting to find out if a bug/feature request has already been submitted. So, is there any way for an ordinary user/guest to have a look-see at those tickets or do a search before submitting?

My preference would be to have actual Civ1/2/3 and AlphaCentauri savegames for targets, and implement and test against them extensively. We also need to test popular scenarios and modpacks, to ensure they work harmoniously. Now is not a good time to add anything new, as the current features of 2.1 (and thus 2.2) still crash regularly! Let's get the noise level down first, so this is actually stable. Hopefully, the project learned something from the battlegroup/goto/etc. disaster that was 2.1 We still don't have all clients working for all the *standard* tilesets (an official purpose of 2.1)! -- I may detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#40023) Feature Request: add more switches to slow_down_timeline
URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40023 Hello: Please consider adding the following additional switches to the slow_down_timeline effect, for the purpose of making modpacks/scenarios: ¤ 25- or 20-year turn increments (or both); ¤ 10-year turn increments; ¤ 1-12 month increments. The current effects only allow 5-, 2- or 1-year increments, and since the game default is 50-year increments, using the effect is to practically bring the timeline to a screeching halt. Having these additional options would allow smoother transitions and more varied effects. I realize that FreeCiv is not CivII, and I don't really like to keep mentioning it, but CivII allowed setting of the turn increment to months, for the purpose of modpacks, and this feature was very nice for scenarios with a limited time scope, in order to get the desired number of turns into the game yet still have a realistic timeline. FreeCiv-2.1.2 compiled from source code without errors or warnings of any kind and running on Fedora 7 Linux.
