Free Civilization

 Small screenshot from FreecivBecause:

  • Christmas is around the corner
  • Games are the subject of degree courses within UK HE these days

I thought I’d point to the latest release of one of the best free or open source games out there Freeciv. Try not to waste too much time, though.

    oh, thanks for the reminder Rowan. I was just about to get the latest Age of Empires for my children’s Christmas stockings.

    Is it now real-time rather than turn based like my ancient copy of civ? The pictures give that impression

    Real-time? Sacrilege! No, Freeciv remains turn-based. Personally I was disappointed when the original series moved to isometric 3D.
