I've written some more words about the current state of things in a thread in the Freeciv-web forum.

(Here I am speaking for myself, rather than freeciv.org.) I'm sad that it's gone and would like to see it back, but I can't volunteer to organise or coordinate this or put any significant time into it, I'm afraid.

The web version of Freeciv, play.freeciv.org, was shut down on 3 March 2018. The sole volunteer who was running the service is no longer willing to continue doing so.

Can I make the game post custom strings under specific circumstances? Like, triggering a certain effect has a notification printed to the messages log. You would probably need to use Lua scripting for that; there are only a few places where the ruleset lets you specify messages (e.g. the Philosophy...
