I agree. I like the configurability of freeciv.

Colonization is a game similar to Civilization, which is also by Sid
Meier. You play as one of four nations (British, French, Spanish,
Dutch) and conquer the new world. The goal is to become independent.
There is no research and you have to trade goods directly, mainly
export them to your habour in Europe. I liked it quote a lot.
