Re: Hello from a new Freeciv player\!
Welcome aboard. I'm gonna offer my preachin' to the new victim here :) For multiplayer, you may wanna check out Longturn.org. (Not right this moment because technical difficulties, server reboot/update/something, hopefully tomorrow.) In the meantime, an informative read: https://longturn21.blogspot....

Re: Using improvements to make other improvements obsolete
What I have in my Sim ruleset is that you can build (medieval) Workshop/Manufaktur, but once you build a Factory in the city, the Manufaktur becomes a museum and gives you 2 Gold instead of 2 Production. You may want to think about what would be the effect of the older walls once the new ones are bu...

Re: Is FreeCIV worth playing if I already have all the official CIV games?
I'm probably too old, but newer Civ games (3 or 4 and onwards) have absolutely no appeal to me. Civ is about complexity and choices, and for that I want to be able to swallow huge chunks of data at the same time. And newer Civs are all about artistic and realistic visuals, while for readability what...

Re: Is FreeCIV worth playing if I already have all the official CIV games?
Also, I don't know if commercial Civ games have such stable Longturn communities. Or anything resembling Longturn. I know for a fact that I would not be playing it if otherwise.

Re: Game strategies: peaceful vs. aggressive and getting (un)lucky with your neighbours
Okay, I made this post seven years ago and in the meantime more or less solved with the Sim ruleset: I cram the map with AI nations (which is basically very realistic, if you look at real history) and, in order to expand even a little bit, you MUST build a military to fight them and gain any sensibl...

Re: New Player Here - Any Fun Strategies to Try First?
Well, usually my main goal is to have fun, but in order to have fun, you have to survive first :D Can't say much about strategies, I guess the first goalpost is expand as much as possible without overstretching. But most of the time, more land and more cities means more power. Get the next governmen...

Re: An in-browser solution to my civilization addiction?
Does anyone know of a good free Civ clone or one of the older games (I'll accept 1-4) that play in html5 somewhere or flash. What am I supposed to do at work? Living in a post freeciv world... A harsh realm. Edited by Sandtrix 2 days ago - 8:15 PM You mean something like these? https://www.myabando...

Re: How to play FreeCIV, where is the absolute beginners introduction?
I don't know if you already found this, but all unit (and other) commands are available in the menus. For example, you build a road by pressing R, but you can also select Work -> Build Road from the top menu. Shortcuts are listed next to commands so you can learn all of them simply by exploring (and...

Re: Looking for a Freeciv community on Discord
Here ya go, mate :) https://discord.gg/SpWeujW This is not a "general Freeciv", but a spinoff called Longturn/Freeciv21, aimed at multiplayer games. But of all other subcommunities, we are most into cooperative modding. More about the Freeciv21 project: https://github.com/longturn/freeciv2...
