Reinier will add a new entry in the FAQ concerning your question.

The main difficulty here is that amonst us lot of people hasn't played
civ2. If you have some time, read the freeciv manual.
http://www.freeciv.org/manual/manual.html
or download it via ftp 
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/contrib/manual/manual-1.8.0-2.tar.bz2 (1 Mo)
If you can write a text, listing the missing features of freeciv vs civ2
and vs the civ2 scenarios,
it will be very usefull. We can't add something if we aren't aware of it.
You can write it in pure text as Martin now knows php3.

> Centauri?" etc.

I've got the same answers for these questions.
