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...

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...

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...

I'm curious ...

I have a few noob questions since I'm used to civ 5 and while freeciv looks cool, it's really confusing. First of all, I start sometimes with two settlers and one just acts like a worker. What? Second, I meet people and create ceasefires and then all of the sudden my cities are taken over. What is ...

The next Longturn game in line is scheduled to begin the start sequence near the end of January. This means a few days of testing and final checkups. In case this is the first time you hear of it: Longturn is the closest Civ came to a MMORPG. it is a one-turn-per-day multiplayer variant of Freeciv w...

The links work. I just checked.

A new game, especially suitable for those acquainted with Civlization 2, will start at Longturn.net in a few weeks. With years, and even decades, the Longturn rulesets have evolved in order to provide a better multiplayer experience in a one-turn-per-day format and a newcomer, not familiar with deta...
