Maybe help with Zaimoni fork? But I can see how ancient cataclysm but bugfixed could be boring...

Are there any C++ libraries that provide tools for composing English language sentences?

I would not be averse to a library that fully developed this. However, that definitely is "hard mode". I haven't looked around carefully. (Gettext is not an option for the Cataclysm family of games -- as a copyleft license, GPL is incompatible with all other licenses that impose material restrictions, such as Creative Commons Share-Alike.)

Holy sh*t, there's so many new updates and features in experimental.... is it worth restarting the game?
2 projects | /r/cataclysmdda | 24 May 2023

for experimental I use this launcher. https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/releases
Cataclysm: There Is Still Hope

I don't know what launcher people use, but this file on this one defines the cdda repo urls: https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/blob/master/cddagl/constants.py You could probably just changes that file to use tish urls.

I highly recommend using a launcher, like the CDDA Launcher (which is not being updated anymore but still works well), or Catapult. These will not only launch the game, but will allow you to easily manage tilesets, soundpacks, save backups, etc.

Also, the game is 100% free. Gets multiple experimental updates daily (open-source). And has a fairly extensive modding scene with multiple tileset options to play with. You can grab the launcher here and it will let you download everything you need to start messing around.
