What is Freeciv??? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I am very surprised about this forum and I want to know what is Freeciv.

I am a bad English reader that is the reason I am asking.

Kramsib,


Freeciv is an open source (GPL in this case - see www.fsf.org for details-) multiplayer version based on the original civilization game. The advantage of Freeciv is that the source code of the game engine is freely available for everyone to tweak and improve.


While Freeciv was developed for Linux the current versions of Freeciv can also be played on windows. The windows version now works out of the box without much problems. Please take care that you should read the instructions before trying to run FreeCiv. It has a LOT of features (far more than than civ2) but it may seem very daunting at the outset. You have been warned

War4ever,

Freeciv at the moment is good enough for SP and MP (with the emphasis on MultiPlay)

As for fun, well,..that comes down to your own taste and preference to try something new. The windows version now works straight out of the box but the visuals may seem a bit bare if you're treated to the graphic fest of Civ3 or CtP. It's a bit like a well designed kit car at the moment. Everything can be tweaked if you want to tinker or simply enjoy the ride instead.


The good thing is that Freeciv will always continue to get better as long as people keep playing...
