FreeCiv Is The BEst, May 25, 2009

by Darrius (USA)

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.

Everything a computer strategy game should be. . ., May 01, 2008

by Roy Gathercoal (Beautiful Pacific Northwest)

... although the implementation of the game could use some polish.

Freeciv is much, much better than others *because* it is open-source. Those willing to do the work have left their various marks on the game.

The result? You customize it to play solo or up to 30 humans. You pick nations, geographies, government systems, economics,and more: You get a great game and a high frustration potential.

Create your own land wars or a waterworld where ownership of the smallest piece of barren island makes the difference. Start with Babylonian vs. Phoenicians, play with stealth bombers and SETI programs, or both. At the same time!

This game offers the ultimate replayability potential. a simple change of the right two variables will produce an entirely new game.

In-game help is spotty so the online fora are critical. Documentation is awful.

Within the genre, Freeciv is more complex and customizable than most. You set a big stage, then play out representative units in their own roles.

I started playing Free Civ with a lot of skepticism. I am a veteran of strategy games and have spent endless hours over civilization games. Free civ kept me addicted to the game all through. It is definitely worth the time to give it a try. One of best strategy games available in the free download domain.

FreeCiv fun, but lacking., Nov 06, 2007

by Jason Bunderson (Highland, UT, USA)

FreeCiv was a really enjoyable game.  It had many of the same features as Sid Meier’s Civilization, and is, as the name suggests, free.  However, I did find certain qualities lacking in this game that were present in the costly version (understandable, since it is, after all, a free civ).  First, I must complain about the graphics.  They are very hard and distract a person’s eye very easily.  Second, I find that the overall feeling of the game is just not the same.  It lacks a certain ‘oomph’ that Sid Meier’s games had.  Finally, I found the game to be slightly difficult to navigate, and the city and terrain graphics/info were very crowded.  If an update was released, I would make the coastlines smoother, and try not to confine everything to squares.  Other than those three things, I did not find much wanting on the game.  I believe that this is the best civ game that you can get for free, and I would heartily recommend it to any who love and adore, as I do, Sid Meiers Civilization
