Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each
player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the
ultimate goal: To become the greatest civilization.

Players of the Civilization(R) series by Microprose(R) should feel
at home, since one aim of Freeciv is to have optional modes (called
rulesets) with compatible rules.

Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and
enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network
games out there! That also means it has very extensive multilanguage
support, something rare in games.
