LTeX 2.1 strikes back (20/30)
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 16:48 — maho
Almost everyone agreed that previous LTeX shouldn't be continued, so time to new LTeX.
Initial settings - the same as in LT XVI but with tlgive / tlrecv set to 60/40.

Another strange thing, I
Another strange thing, I just researched trade and I am not able to produce caravans. Is there something about caravans that I forgot? I do have trade in my research tree. I do not have caravans in my production choices.
Deserts ??
Maybe someone would refresh my memory. It seems to me, I see some deserts appearing in my area. Do we still have that special patch going on about terrain alteration? How is it working? Do we still want that?
Maybe I am just hallucinating. I do like to eat mushrooms.
Anybody else on islandi
Anybody else on islandi 2??
So I can start killing something...

Hi everyone! Not played
Hi everyone! Not played Longturn in a very long time but I feel like some Freeciv action again! Is it possible to join this game or must I wait for the next one? Also, will Freeciv accept my username with a space, or should that be removed first? All I have done so far is click the sign me button.
Newbie
Hey all, just signed up for the game. I tried to play a longturn ages ago, but wasn't able to complete it. :( Hoping to do better this time. I'm awful at freeciv as I've barely played it, but looking forward to jumping in and getting crushed!
Diplomatic abandon.
There is two barbarian nations picked by players.
Is there any adventages of being barbarian? because they cannot meet in diplomatic window, there is sentence after trying:
"Your diplomatic envoy was decapitated!"
I think this is a bug in spawning players that they can get barbarian nation.
every unit is loosing hp??
every unit is loosing hp?? As i remember my units lost only if i didn`t move them.
A couple of bugs
Hey maho,
A couple of (what I think are) bugs in LTeX at the moment:
- I used to have an embassy with kevin (Aramean) before he unsigned. His player was removed, and another player was subsequently put into his nation (Aramean), but freshly spawn. I still have my embassy with this new player.
- Fortresses aren't granting the correct vision bonus for the LT ruleset (ie. it gives 5x5 missing corners [the same as unit vision in LT] not 7x7).

Kevin (unsigned player)
Hey maho, what is going to happen to kevins cities now that he has unsigned?
Do you have to remove him? Is he just going to sit there for open plunder? I wouldn't mind the Hanging Gardens...
Weird techloosing?
Not sure how it's meant to be implemented, but one of the techs I researched has disappeared :o

Introduction
Hi all,
I'm new. I've always been a civ addict, and I've been tinkering with my own fc tilesets and rulesets for 2 years. I figure it's time to see how this thing actually goes down, right?
Job+Wife+Puppy=Life, but that's why I'm here and not on the pubs. If i can figure out how to join this thing, and if it fits with the rest of my lifestyle, i'll see you in there.

Hi everyone
New player here. This sounds like a great idea to me. I've always loved civilization games, and this sounds perfect for playing casually and not having to spend so many hours each day.
I'll need some help getting started, though. For one thing, I'm not even sure how to access this game. How would I start off in a game in progress? If someone here could show me the ropes I'd be very much obliged.

Some ideas about adding new players
I'm new player added during the game and here is what I see:
* Advances I got are not connected. E.g. I have banking but I don't have anything what is required to invent banking. Most probably that's OK.
* I have 100% research on Despotism. I think that's unfair a little bit :-)
* My war units do not cost me anything. That means with enough money in the future I can upgrade my units for free and have free army. Usually such army would require to use some production in cities.
* I have a lot of galleons I can use for exploring the map but I'm not sure yet how much sea map is worthy in such a big game.
What is "islandi 2"?
What is "islandi 2"?
Every Island/Continent has a
Every Island/Continent has a number that you can see when clicking the middle button on the 2.1.9 regular client. It will be the number in square brackets on the same line as "Location".
I am surprised to find myself alone on an island that big (about 600 tiles) and I will have to revert from a pirating strategy to a development strategy. That will crash my style... and prevent me from identifying with one of Ayn Rand's heroes or the current Somalians. :-)

tlgive / tlrecv set to 60/40
It means that (re)spawer got your tech with 60% of succes, and you lost it with 40% chance of loosing it.
Two players? Well, barbarian
Two players?
Well, barbarian is only a nation, I didn't know about consequences of such nationality :).
Two AI
I think he means there were two AI - when I started, there were a couple of AI nations which were taken over by people (ie. they started with cities).
Interesting that tjal can't meet with people though, as they say, it might be a bug because he is the 'Barbarian' Nation.. maybe you should remove them from the list (and maybe randomize it a bit so the Nations arent alphabetical ;P?).
I am the barbarian...
...and I can't meet with anybody :S
I guess no negotiation with terrorists, eh?

No more trade
Trade was removed around LTXIV I think
ok, Thank you!

No new deserts?

After you clicked "sign me" , you must wait until I will add you to game (I'm doing it right now). Next you can connect using your nick from website and host/port specified at top of this page.
No caravans!
The players of LTXIV voted to remove Caravans and Freight from the game. For LTXIV and later games, the Caravans never appear in the production choices. They exist, but no city can produce them.
I am not playing LTeX, but in LTXVII, the help text for Caravans declares, "May not be built in cities."

Don't they slowly loose their HP?
* My war units do not cost
Yes you are right about that. Some of them do that slower some faster. Galleons don't do that yet (or it is not visible yet). It looks like I will need to disband them in the cities in exchange for something better :)
or just attach some of them

True, I was confused because
True, I was confused because I bribed one and, of course, I was able to change homecity afterward.
ooh, it can be true. Do you
ooh, it can be true. Do you have any unhomecitied unit somewhere to check?
ooh, it can be true
I have just checked that and you really can't change homecity for those poor homeless warriors. Either they die in battlefield or they die without any use. Disbanding them is the best you can get from them if you don't want to fight.

it's to encourage to attack with them. Don't worry if you die (or you will leave with one city) - you can always ask for respawn.
I'm ok with that. But if I
I'm ok with that. But if I will make them patrol they will not die. As well I'm not sure what effect has barack on those units.
Yes, you a right, I was
Yes, you a right, I was wrong, you can't change homecity on them unless you bribe/buy them from someone else. Disbanding seems a good solution if you want to play a sedentary style otherwise I would do like Maho said and use them to attack some nice and big city (with a wall, preferably, so you get the population intact).
problem with ltex is, that
problem with ltex is, that map is too huge... respawner has too much land around and has no motivation to attack someone ....
it will change sooner or
it will change sooner or later:)
In this case while map is
In this case while map is huge there are no free islands. At least my galleons explored like 50% of seas and I don't see any island that does not have at least one city.
What I did in this case: I have found one island that fits my needs. There are two players who started building their new cities here. One player was eliminated from this island while other has pikemen. Chariots are useless against veteran (level 3) pikeman on mountain :) So my chartiots now are waiting when this pikeman will climb from this mountain (maybe he will have 10 commandments with him :)). Another alternative for me is to make peace treaty with that player. So much about motivation to attack.
AI slot?
Any chance you can drop me into one of the AI slots? I am keen to play in this.

Some help
I red the server settings for this game and I have some questions:
1. citytrading=0 means we can't use caravans for establish trade routes between cities?
2. my start posision was on the sea and of course startunits wasn't 'ccccwwxx' but very different (and the gold too); is it correct?
thanks
1. it means that you cannot
1. it means that you cannot give city in diplomacy meeting.
2. in this game you are not starting with def option. According to other players strenght and number of cities in game server gives you starting units and random start location.
problem - need help
Hi, I have a problem. When I try to connect, after I wrote the password, in next screen, I cannot enter the game, "my player", skywalker appears to be deatached and, after I select it, button not function. What can I do? (Yesterday was my first turn, but I dont press the button. Is this a problem?)
Are you sure you connect to
Are you sure you connect to right port? (555)
I think you connect to LT XVI, so you can login, but you're not participating in that game.
I am still detachet too, is
I am still detachet too, is it any command to start in a game this time?
I wrote an email to respawn but i didn appear in the game.
thanks
I think the port was the problem. I save configuration, but maybe the port was wrong. I'm in, with 5555. Thanks.
Strange
The game is at turn 6 now on my screen. I started to play 3 turns ago and everything is fine. I got 2 settlers, 5 warriors and about 700 gold. When I do a demographics report, I am 3rd in population with 20000 (2), 3rd also in settled area, 2nd in production and 4th in economics, how is that possible, with only 3 turns of play and 2 cities. Maybe people are not playing?
On another note, I was able to login fine 24 hrs after the initial 'detached session'. The real problem was to find this new thread Ltex2.1-2 but all is fine now.

Why it's strange? Eg. I haven't found all my cities yet (all - 2 cities). It's just very early stage of game - no time to make existing players stronger than newcomers.
Don't forget that algorithm tries to make you as strong as average player on the map.
I see. I was expecting
I see. I was expecting players to create cities more quickly.
