It's a bit rough (both the build procedure and the end product), but here's first version:
http://meta.freeciv.org/iso/For installing it to USB-stick, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Insta ... omUSBStickUse that for "Try Ubuntu" -option only. As freeciv is installed with autotools, and not from debian(/ubuntu) -package, "Install Ubuntu" would (likely) produce a system where package management doesn't know about existence of the freeciv despite freeciv files being there.
Ubuntu is 13.10 with latest updates as of today pulled in. Freeciv is latest revision from S2_4 (it has some bugfixes compared to 2.4.0).
There's gtk2-, gtk3-, and sdl-clients. Only one of them (freeciv-gtk2 in case of S2_4) has desktop file, called simply "freeciv". That one you can run from the desktop menus, for the others you have to start some terminal program (xterm, for example) and run the program by typing its name (freeciv-gtk3, freeciv-sdl) there.
