I have a eepc 701, with a tiny screen, and the menus and stuff don't fit. It seems that most menus on Freeciv waste space. Some guy has to buy a wii-fit for these lazy windows :-). I would love that Freeciv get a estetic enhancement, ... on the menus stuff. I guest is almost imposible to run it on my small netbook, but at least lets make it elegant on desktop computers, and stuff.

Re: Freeciv posted by charlieg @ 83.138.34.249 on Mar 8 2010 2:37 PM Have you tried the SDL verison of Freeciv? The UI is much more compact.   [Reply]

Be wary of freeciv. It's way too addictive for my own good. Really polished game though. AI could use more works (try being a non-war backstabbing bastard - impossible!). You have a lot of game creation options and an insane amount of civilizations to choose from. Interface and game is very polished with nice graphics all over. Haven't tried multiplayer, but single player is fun, fun, fun!

Re: It's like crack posted by FSFWarrior @ 94.178.81.102 on Dec 30 2008 3:52 PM Actually vanilla freeciv sux for multiplayer. Try Warclient(much improved unofficial client) - http://warclient.byethost10.com. Download: http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Warclient#Obtaining Forums: http://freeciv.freeforums.org Multiplayer game using Warclient is 100 times more addictive!   [Reply]

	SDL version tutorial mode? posted by Anonymous @ 216.183.82.2 on Nov 30 2007 3:36 PM
Does the SDL version support the tutorial mode yet? I'm building a computer for my nieces and I wanted to bundle in some Free Software games, and I'm curious whether I should include the SDL version or the vanilla one.

Re: SDL version tutorial mode? posted by Anonymous @ 80.202.105.26 on Nov 30 2007 10:57 PM   what is the difference? what is fastest? We really need booth as a .deb for ubuntu....   [Reply]   Re: SDL version tutorial mode? posted by dmarks @ 221.149.204.224 on Dec 1 2007 12:09 PM I personally get the feeling the SDL client is a bit speedier, or at least more memory-efficient. It also runs better on computer with low resolution screens. Overall, the SDL client has some nifty features and feels more like a 'game', but the GTK client on the other hand is more mature, has more features and is more stable. You should try out both and pick your favorite. :)   [Reply]

	Bad game posted by Anonymous @ 77.181.111.235 on Nov 2 2007 2:31 PM
No new ideas, luck of creativity, bad design, poor code. Just CRAP, just an unsuccessful attempt to imitate Sid Meyer's Civilization 2. For good open source game example please see "Battle of Wesnoth".

Re: Bad game posted by Anonymous @ 81.86.232.182 on Nov 2 2007 8:03 PM   No new ideas and a lack of creativity may be negative characteristics for you, but they don't affect how one enjoys the game at all, and are indeed a plus for fans of civ2. Freeciv is an example of a game with precisely stated goals which have been fulfilled remarkably well. It is a flagship of free software games, not unlike Wesnoth.   [Reply]   Re: Bad game posted by nath @ 88.72.215.30 on Nov 2 2007 8:08 PM The guy is a Troll, posted on the Wesnoth page as well stating how he doesn't like Wesnoth... just ignore him.   [Reply]   Re: Bad game posted by DaVince @ 62.51.153.52 on Jun 26 2008 12:51 AM   The game just exactly imitates the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Point lack of ideas, creativity, design and code flaws towards the original game developers (MicroProse and FISH, if I remember correctly), not towards the people who actually DID like the game and made this open-source clone.   [Reply]   Re: Bad game posted by DaVince @ 62.51.153.52 on Jun 26 2008 12:52 AM   I wish I could take that back. The screenshot looked so much like OpenTTD I was sure I clicked the link to OpenTTD... XD   [Reply]

Good game, but bad menu (you have to start 2 freecivs to play a hotseat game, you have to select server options to change basic game options (e.g. the amout of gold at the beginning of the game) (I think you have to separate basic and advanced (which really change the game) options), ...). I also think it would be nice to introduce campaigns

Only real problem is it does not come with Music. Other than that great game.
[Reply]
Re: Good Game posted by dmarks @ 122.34.73.19 on Jun 12 2007 2:35 PM There's a number of music tracks for Freeciv on our ftp; run a media player in the background if you want music. :) ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/contrib/audio/music   [Reply]   Re: Good Game posted by FSFWarrior @ 94.178.81.102 on Dec 30 2008 4:13 PM LOL, music in game is for ones, that know nothing about music and feel no difference if a sound is a drum beat or guitar accord.   [Reply]

	Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by mattigreenbay @ 206.196.48.142 on Mar 9 2007 11:59 AM
Man this is great! I played Freeciv 2.0.9 for a while, Then I tried 2.1.0... Its like a whole new game

Re: Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by mattigreenbay @ 206.196.48.142 on Mar 9 2007 12:02 PM Remember: Get the SDL version for the eye candy.   [Reply]   Re: Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by Anonymous @ 206.196.48.142 on Mar 10 2007 7:09 AM   The gtk2 is wow too if you want the traditional layout and easier Option changes.   [Reply]   Re: Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by dmarks @ 59.6.201.87 on Mar 10 2007 10:10 PM Well, the SDL client is overall more immersive and 'gamelike'. It has been in development for many years now, but only recently became usable.   [Reply]   Re: Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by charlieg @ 84.71.133.110 on Apr 30 2007 2:47 PM It still needs work IMO. Too many small unlabelled icons. Not enough tooltips. It's all a little bit "expert user"-ish for my liking. The city dialog is especially hard to use compared to the Gtk version.   [Reply]   Re: Freeciv Update 2.1.0 Beta3 posted by NickeM @ 81.234.147.128 on May 3 2007 12:39 PM I think 2.1.0 looks great especially freeland-big tileset, takes awhile to load the map though. Great Game :D !!! http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Tilesets   [Reply]

	Smallpox posted by Anonymous @ 139.80.48.19 on Feb 18 2007 12:31 PM
Any word on if they've fixed the AI smallpox problem yet? Until that's fixed the game seems to be pretty much unplayable.
[Reply]
Re: Smallpox posted by dmarks @ 59.6.201.212 on Feb 27 2007 4:45 AM Can you elaborate on that?   [Reply]   Re: Smallpox posted by pheldens @ 77.167.148.61 on Jul 30 2010 6:27 PM   thats when the AI builds cities in places a human wouldnt (high density) which is dumb, the now also boast AI cheating as a feature lol. You can prevent smallpox a bit by setting a limit on the distance between cities. in the launch options.   [Reply]
