Notice this if you want to play LT47

Post by **wieder** » Sun Jan 13, 2019 8:02 pm

The following players need to reply to this thread if they want to play. Just a simple "I want to play" will be enough. This is to avoid idlers.

GryymLycker::
325625775325w::
BATTLEPLANSJPEG::Soviet
325625775325::American
chosen::UN
Henry::
Very_very_long_username::Knights Templar
jscc::Portuguese
Pyromaniac::Cornish
TrainerRed4::Lithuanian
techsec::
Ignatus::
Roy::Spanish

You will not be added to the game unless I know you can talk with the other players. Nothing complicated is needed. Just very basic stuff.

We also want to have reasonable user names. Numbers or stuff like that will not do. The following players need to pick names people can actually remember.

325625775325w::
BATTLEPLANSJPEG::Soviet
325625775325::American
Very_very_long_username::Knights Templar

Just register a new user name, join, confirm participation and reply to this thread.

I want to play
Just one question: what is the preferred communication channel between players? I have downloaded IRC client, where to connect?

Cool. Thanks for the reply.

There is the discord channel and that's becoming increasingly popular. Enter this to discord to join:

https://discord.gg/TzVqTgR

That is not a web address but something you need to enter to discord.

There is also an irc channel. It's on Freenode and it's #longturn but there are mostly only admin related talks now and not that much of that. You can however ask more there.

Thanks!
Yet another question, probably worth pinning to some place easy to find: Is there a graphical pack that shows difference of non-standard units and other things?

Post by **wieder** » Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:31 pm

The in-game help tells you the rules but there are too many differences to be listed and there is this another thing. Freeciv has lots of different rulesets and none of those is really standard standard.

I mean, any graphic set where Balloon does not look like Airplane?

There are graphics for Cimpletoon, Amplio and Trident if you want to introduce a balloon. http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=91066 In my latest post you can see them for Amplio and Trident (on the right side, next to the Zeppelin).

Thank you very much for the nice art! [s]But, likely, the images need some secfile descriptions to be used by the client - haven't anybody made such a thing?[/s] Edit: aah, among the pretty images in the thread it was too easy to miss the data.zip link :#)

Done. I suppose this one is better than Very_very_long_username.
