FreeCiv for Social Research

Post by PaulND »

Is anyone aware of publications using FreeCiv for academic research?

I have a couple of students looking at global scale (world population) agent based models and thought about having them consider leveraging FreeCiv. We would not likely render the graphics but would use all of the computational framework underneath. I'm thinking something along the lines of an input file which initializes 80 of the worlds most populous countries (99% of the world population) and then lets the civilizations interact based on AI. The end data for analysis would be some variant of the end game outputs for each civilization.

Thoughts?

Not really, they dont publish code, usually some obscure publications in their lairs :D.
You can google for freeciv auckland or freeciv agh or Northwestern University , maybe there is more, but probably nothing useful.
For social research there is nothing for sure .

Hello angelaxxx,

Where can I get a pdf copy of the book? I'm in charge of the project on Towards Data Science and this book should be used as an obligatory resource. I contacted Yash Bonde for other similar publications (or at least some references to the FreeCiv academic).
