I remember Dustin posted this a few months back and
there didn't seem to be much interest. I was too
familiar with Freeciv at the time, but I started
playing more over the weekend and find it is a fun
game.
Is anyone still interested in playing some Freeciv
games? I am not that experienced with it so I'd like
to go through a few trial games and ask questions.
If you don't know what Freeciv is, here's the
description from the FAQ:
----------
Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy
game, in which each player becomes the leader of a
civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal:
To become the greatest civilization.
Players of Civilization II® by Microprose® should feel
at home, since one aim of Freeciv is to have
compatible rules.
Freeciv is maintained by an international team of
coders and enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most
fun and addictive network games out there!
----------
You can play Freeciv on most of the Unix platforms out
there, and there are working ports on M$-Windows. I
found one very interesting method to play Freeciv: run
it on someone else's Linux box and use VNC
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) to play it
remotely. If you truly want to play, we can help you
out.
If there is sustained interest, I'd really like to get
into a long campaign, complete with diplomatic
alliances and detailed battles on a large map.
