FreeOrion

I applied this patch, deleted CMakeCache.txt and rebuilt, everything went fine. However, do note, I use cmake -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=GG -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=GG . as I don't install GG, I just build it and then point freeorion at the GG dir as its there already (might be nice to add to the wiki, it all...

My apologies for posting unclearly, instead of saying: That's a nice article, from what I summarise he mentions basically two things I meant: That's a nice article, from what I summarise he mentions basically two things relating to AI The post is massive and covers a lot of ground about Civ5 and his...

That's a nice article, from what I summarise he mentions basically two things, he got caught up in designing an elegant AI engine rather than a strong AI and that making the AI have mood swings was not conducive to fun gameplay.

Is there any way to allow the AI to see the value of techs? IE, have the AI see that one tech provides 0.5 industry per pop and the other +5? And then some kind of weighting, ie, the AI compares its current industry and research and decides industry is lagging, hence researches industry improving te...

I would be /hugely/ in favour of reducing the number of hull technology types to ~5 and then allowing you to tech up in a given hull flavour for more slots/shield/stealth or whatever is appropriate for that hull type. At the moment the number of hull types along with their special factories makes th...

I take it you mean viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7103&hilit=outpost+select&start=15 and viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7182&hilit=outpost+select

As long as it's a known thing.

Ah, you are correct and I was incorrect.

It was the inconsistency in the UI between colonise and placing an outpost that caught me. Is there a reason why you have to select outpost ships but not colony ships?

For the love of god, laser 3? And extra ships? I get that they're aggresive but this makes it nearly impossible to play a game where you start next to them. Maybe they should get subterreanen hab and constr as they are burrowers. But this class of firepower is uncalled for. My two cents. I've just s...

Hostile planets can not support a colony yet do not qualify as suitable for outposts (which require an inhospitable environment).

Is this correct? Is it expected/wanted?

That is correct, I did install GiGi into a prefix within my home directory. As a rule I never store stuff I custom compile into the root directory as it then gets real messy with your package manage. For example if GiG ever gets packaged by fedora like bullet and ogre are then there are all sorts of...

This is git commit 790ddd3cd346aefa8288d1d54bd0d9d038381ea9 checked out 13/2, about 10 days ago, GiGi and FO checked out at the same time.
The GiGi is from "SVN" (well, repository) but I installed it out and linked from that prefix.
I'll re-fetch and recompile and let you know

Just got fedora core 16 going and now trying to compile Freeorion.

As I'm going through the list I've noticed that some species just seem weak in general, the Cynos for example, can't mine or do industry but get no bonuses to farming or research. Now I'm aware that some species are non playable so I'll just assume this is a conscious design decision and leave as is...
