Freeciv is a multiplayer, turn-based strategy computer game, inspired by Sid Meier's commercial Civilization series. It is free software under the GNU General Public License and developed collaboratively—code, graphics, sounds etc. have been contributed by many people from around the world. Its latest stable version is 2.0.8 with a beta version of 2.1 available. Freeciv is included with many popular Linux distributions.

Description


Players take the role of a tribe leader in 4000 BC and have to guide their people through the centuries. Over time, new technologies are discovered, which allow the construction of new city buildings and the deployment of new units. Players can wage war on one another or form complex diplomatic relationships.

The game ends when one civilization has eradicated all others, when one people has accomplished the goal of space colonization, or at a certain deadline. If more than one civilization remains at the deadline, the player with the highest score wins. Points are awarded for the size of a civilization, its wealth, and cultural and scientific advances.
