Details:
Currently, there's no data/civ1/cities.ruleset. This means that the civ1
ruleset picks up data/default/cities.ruleset.
The behaviour of the default ruleset has changed relatively recently. Between
2.1.x and 2.2.x, the restriction on minimum city size for scientists/taxmen
was removed from the default ruleset but not from civ2. However, civ1 picked
up the removal of the restriction. Was this intentional?
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the civ1 rules we're trying to emulate.
The history is:
* S1_14: everything is hardcoded; in all rulesets, specialists
{elvis,scientist,taxman} affect {luxury,bulbs,gold} with bonuses {2,3,3} and
minimum sizes {0,5,5}.
* S2_0: same behaviour, but bonus magnitude and minimum size now comes from
cities.ruleset (but all three of default/civ1/civ2 share the same
cities.ruleset)
* S2_1: specialists now use effect system; civ1/civ2 *changed* to use bonus
{2,2,2} in [r10475
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv?view=rev&revision=10475], PR#8759
<http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8759> (no rationale given);
min sizes remain as before
* S2_2: default (and civ1) minimum sizes *changed* to {0,0,0} in r11983
<http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv?view=rev&revision=11983>, PR#17170
<http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17170> (no rationale given);
civ2 remains at {0,5,5}
This is causing a problem for me in patch #2050: I'm describing the effects
of specialists in hand-written helptext in cities.ruleset, which leads to the
wrong text being displayed for civ1.ruleset. (Obviously it would be better to
autogenerate the text describing the effects, but I don't think I'm going to
manage that.)
Unless anyone objects, I'll create civ1/cities.ruleset with the 2.1.x
behaviour, aiming for 2.3.0 (and leave 2.2.x with its current anomalous
behaviour?).
