#FREECIV ISOTRIDENT MODS#

That's why the FreeCiv modding scene is a mostly a graveyard containing 2 decades of dead mods that require you to roll back to some ancient version to try them.

#FREECIV ISOTRIDENT MOD#

Yes there's a mod that makes the GUI look more like Civ2 but it broke after updates and yes maybe some way, some how, some one could design a mod that allows people to play Civ2 scenarios but that would probably break after 5mins too. The GUI and AI behaviour is very different and more importantly you can't load Civ2 scenarios and mods on it. Yeah they can make FreeCiv more like Civ2 but it's still not Civ2. When I shared this thread around heaps of Civ social media groups a year or so ago I copped lots of snarky unhelpful 'you're wasting your time bro, just play FreeCiv with Civ2 rules' comments because they just didn't get the difference between FreeCiv and a true close as possible Civ2 clone that can load Civ2 saves, maps, graphics & scenarios. They recently hit the big v1.0 release! However yes it does feel like it's own beast and that even with the classic Col ruleset activated it doesn't feel like a true accurate rebuild/clone of Col. Running the groups keeps me up to date with most of the community news too so I should mention that FreeCol is alive and well. I don't know where the current build is code-wise, but with an eye to future expansion once the OG's been replicated to satisfaction, building the engine with such modularity in mind will save a lot of back-tracking and revision later: I follow several OpenRA mods, and some of them go far beyond the inspiring games' features, even without custom DLLs.Ĭase in point: C-evo aping SMAC and letting you craft your own units.Ĭlick to expand.I'd love that too! I run the Sid Meier's Colonization Discord, Reddit & Facebook fan groups so I'm always on the lookout for a fan rebuild project. Some of the comments earlier in this thread had suggested a toggle between MGE/ToT under the tacit assumption they would each need dedicated rulesets, whereas Freeciv has rules for Civ1 and Civ2 and a hybrid Civ2–Civ3, with the ability to run them on the standard grid or Civ5/6-style hexmaps, all running off common baseline definitions.

#FREECIV ISOTRIDENT SKIN#

I've done on-and-off experiments with modding Freeciv, including a Civ2 skin that was almost perfect but that I currently can't use ToT-height units on Civ2-height terrain without breaking the UI, and its definite advantage is providing a flexible foundation for infinite variations.

Unfortunately I'm a middling coder and nowhere near an actual programmer so I can't contribute anything concrete to the engine's development, but if you need someone to do the menial work of translating legacy scenarios &c., I can chip in.

As someone who loves the modding potential of Freeciv but is constantly frustrated by its little divergences from the Civ2 interface (tracking opponent moves, combat animation, popup logic), I wholeheartedly welcome this effort. Somehow I completely missed this thread until recently.
