	Freeciv - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freeciv CVS snapshot from September 27, 2005, with the new Amplio tileset.
		Freeciv can be played solo against AI opponents, or as a multiplayer game against other humans.
		Freeciv can be considered somewhat of a "low-end" game: it does not have very spectacular graphics or visual effects, but on the other hand, in the course of its existence has had excellent portability and very low requirements on systems resources.

	FreeCiv - Free Games Net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		FreeCiv is like the name suggests a free Civilization clone, it supports multiplayer games which can be played locally (on the same computer) or over a network.
		Freeciv aims to be mostly rule-compatible with Sid Meier's Civilization II, but a few rules are different which makes for a better multi-player game, and there are lots and lots of adjustable parameters to make customizing games possible.
		Note: FreeCiv requires an X windowing system, you can get one from StarNet, after 2 hours it times out though, so you'll need to purchase the full thing.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: FreeCiv
		FreeCiv 2.0 was released this last week, running on Debian Linux, Windows XP, and Mac OSX, with ports coming for a wide array of other platforms.
		FreeCiv may seem a bit behind the commercial version in terms of look and feel, but it has a much greater potential as a game platform.
		Actually both freeciv and "Civilization" were preceded by multi-player open-source Unix games that embodied this "explore and conquer" game approach, though the earlier ones did not have the evolving technologies introduced by Civilization.

		For freeciv stuff you would normally mail to me you should try mailing to Tony Stuckey or (appropriate in most cases) one of the mailing lists.
		The public Freeciv gameserver, civserver.freeciv.org, will no longer run any 1.11.4 games, due to severe instability problems - nearly every game I played there would hang if one of the players had connection problems, and upon losing connection, reconnecting is often impossible.
		All Freeciv players are urged to use a recent CVS version.

	Open Game Source: Freeciv

		Freeciv does not work with these, although it should be possible to modify it in the same fashion as for Xaw3d.
		When you run the Freeciv configure script, it may be necessary for you to use the "--with-xpm-prefix=DIR" command-line option, where DIR is the name of the directory containing the "include" and "lib" subdirectories where Xpm may be found.
		By default freeciv looks in the following directories, in order, for any data files: the current directory; the "data" subdirectory of the current directory; the subdirectory ".freeciv" in the user's home directory; and the directory where the files are placed by running "make install".

		Freeciv continues to improve from version to version: a rule may change when the mailing list agrees it is 'wrong'.
		Freeciv's multiplayer facilities are asynchronous: during a turn, moves from connected clients are processed in the order they are received.

	Goodbye Freeciv, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Play Dance Dance Revolution Instead
		Freeciv is a great game, but smallpox simply took all the fun out of it for me. My latest obsession is Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR for short.
		Freeciv is a slow game by nature, because it takes time to build a great civilization, and thus doesn't lend itself well to a quick pickup game.
		I am by no means an expert in Freeciv gameplay, but I do feel very strongly that this is the way the game is supposed to be played.

		Since the code for this open source version of Civilization was released in 1995, hundreds of volunteers have added to it and improved it, even though the original developers haven't been heavily involved in years.
		The idea for Freeciv came about one day when three Danish students were in their university's computer science lab, playing Openciv, a free multiplayer Civilization clone written in Python using Tk/Tcl.
		Because their goal was to learn these things as quickly as possible, a basic working version of Freeciv was finished in only three weeks.

	Freeciv for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 ( January 23, 2003 )
		While the individual who created the self-installation packages is a trusted member of the Freeciv community, who is using a freely available installer with all scripts available to look at, and others have virus scanned the executables and the files after unpacking, there is a.ZIP file available.
		Andreas Kemnade has patched Freeciv to build with the Cygwin compilers (with -mno-cygwin which produces an executable that uses Microsoft's runtime instead of Cygwin's runtime) and use native windows for display (no need for an X Server!).
		Freeciv was initially written for UNIX systems and uses X Window System primitives (via either the XAW or GTK Toolkits) to display the graphics.

	Games : Game Review - FreeCiv (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Currently, FreeCiv looks similiar to Civ I (though graphics are better), follows almost the Civ II ruleset (though modifications were done if they were considered to be necessary) and provides of course multiplayer capabilities over the net.
		FreeCiv is a turn based game, but all players play their turns parallel.
		Whole FreeCiv sessions with people carrying their boxes from house to house in order to connect them are known, so be careful with this really addictive game.

		The graphics used for Freeciv are defined in XPM (X Pixmap) files in the distribution; there are separate files for terrain squares, units, roads, the small symbols used on various windows, and the spaceship elements.
		Other tilesets exist which are different both in style and in size; many people prefer using 30x30 tiles to fit more of the map on the screen (17 across and 11 high).
		The Freeciv distribution comes with one alternate tileset, a 30x30 tileset, which was the standard tileset in Freeciv 1.7.2.
