I'll have a look as time permits. I don't think it's possible for editor to properly change tile owner. In any case border code should recalculate situation each turn, so it would restore situation to same as it was before manual editing. Border code / vision sites / everything else entangled is horrible mess. I still don't understand how it is even *supposed* to work. Rewrite from scratch is not necessarily bad idea, though 2.2 should be released sooner rather than later. - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
