54321 Great game., Dec 29, 2009

by Jan L. Callaway (Bremerton, WA USA)

I love this game. Great features like the spy. Couldn’t have done it better myself. Also, I like the way the terrain changes with global warming. Keeps you on your toes all the time, not with just the enemy but your own backyard as well.
Great job.

43211 Excellent game but could use some upgrades, Sep 11, 2009

by Pokefan68 (Birmingham, AL USA)

Freeciv is an excellent game but could use some other stuff. It’s fun to play and easy to learn but it’s long and difficult to win. I liked that the game is a free downloadable version of civilization and it gives more civilizations and game options. What I don’t like is that you can’t name your own civilization which can be done in civ 1 and 2. This game is fun but it takes a LONG time to finish but if you like turn-based strategy games then this is worth the download. If you aren’t then just give it a try and uninstall it if you don’t like it. This game is excellent for kids to learn about some history and to have fun at the same time. It’s good for adults who can’t find civ 1 and want to play some version of it. This game isn’t as good as civ 2 test of time in graphics but its easier to learn and play than it. That’s all I have to say so download and see if you like it or not.

The game is not bad at all, it is a fine game for being a free one.
More or less like the initial version of age of empires.

32121 My opinion of this game., Aug 01, 2009

by Julian (Cordoba, Argentina)

OK, here i will write what i thought, before and after playing and the pros and cons.
Note: This is/was being written as I download-play this game so don’t find it weird.

Before downloading:
  Entered developers website, I think the download should be places over the source, since well, people will mostly download the compiled version.
  I started downloading it and found the 13MB size very convenient since my slow internet doesn’t help.
  I started installation and it installed very fast. I ran the game and I will now tell you what i think from looking at the game screen.
  OK, now that i saw the game screen It looks like a empty main menu, It is just missing something. I come from a game creation website(down-loadable software) and i rate a lot of games monthly so i know what I am talking about. I also think that the main menu should have a link to the developers web site so if someone downloaded it second hand they can see updates done and can download the most recent version.

Now I am going to play so starting now i will write what i think of this game after play.
Instead of writing a long summary i will just write the pros and cons list so you do not get bored.

Pros:
Good graphics
You can change a lot of options

Cons:
I don’t know if its single or multi player.
No idea where to go.
When clicking on a character to move it a window pops up and it sometimes freezes.
No idea what the objective is.

I tried playing the tutorial but it doesn’t work for some reason.
If i understood the game it would be a good game so i will give this a rating of 3.


I hope people find this ‘‘useful’’ and basically read it since people will think its too long.

A very good game. Takes a while to play a full game but once you start playing and get the hang of it you just can’t stop playing.
