Should be possible with scripts. I see it isn't there yet. Should be easy to add. With a caveat that there may issues with doing things within deeply recursed loops. I do not remember how the scripting code deals with this any longer. - Per "The world owes you nothing.

Should be possible with scripts. What's the name of those events? Couldn't find anything in the http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Events_Reference_Manual > ~Event that obsoletes.

Think it will be hard to do with the current code, but you can make a workaround - the death of a unique unit can give you a tech (eg "Genghis Khan's Death") that has that effect. - Per That's exactly the workaround Civ2 scenario makers are using. ;) I've created a thread over at Apolyton.net to host the conversion project: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161712 Can't have it on freeciv.org at this stage, since it most certainly contains Microprose graphics. ~Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

So I'll do a similar workaround for the time being. --Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
