	CapTVK's apolyton ruleset Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

It's been two years since the post I just saw was made, so I assume the project is finished. Problem is, I can't find it on the download page of the freeciv website. Did you name it something other than apolyton? If so, what? Or does it just need updating? I am interested in seeing it.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

pffffft...... .it's been awhile since I worked on that. That project is finished, in a way.

It turned out that most players are simply not interested in special rulesets. Fans tend to be conservative and stick to the 'tried and tested'-methods.
The only major ruleset in use are the normal Freeciv ruleset and the Civ2 ruleset. Reflecting on my own experiences with Civ2 and the general community preferences almost everyone stayed with the standard Civ2 rules. The exception are the Civ2 scenarios, for understandable reasons.


Yet, the project had a spinoff because at the time I became aware of Marco Tarini's [b[civ2gfx[/b] Civ2 - Freeciv graphic converter. After some tweaking it was a simple but effective conversion tool for using Civ2 graphics in Freeciv.

So... never started counts as finished. I guess that means I can tell my brother that the project I've been woking on with him (which is completely unrelated to freeciv) is finished . But I suspect he would disagree with that definition of finished.
