I say go for it. I would surely start playing FreeCiv a lot
more. The bad news is, it is very likely that if a rogue-like
versions existed I would no longer want to maintain the Debian
packages of the X versions ;-)

I once touted the idea of writing a version for palms. I had the
UI quite worked out, but I gave up because palm networking sucks
unless you have a palm modem.

Perhaps the best idea would be to forget this all, wait for the
UI abstraction layer (2.0 IIRC?), and then use this extreme case
to test the abstraction layer. And _then_ have this cool
rogue-like version of FreeCiv ;-)
