I bought a copy of it and although Civ2 has more eye-candy it lacks good
UI and network play. And, of course, it does not run on Linux or Solaris
or IRIX.  I want to play Civ-like game with my friends, so I play it,
occasionally report some bugs and sometimes make patches. Freeciv has
nothing to do with my job, my study, my hobbies or anything I program for
my own fun and joy. The only problem I have with Freeciv is ICS, because I
don't find it fun to play ICS. But to solve ICS only a few changes must be
done (however noone knows which). Then I'll be happy.

Have a nice day.
