Thanks for a very flattering review.

I noticed one typo: you abbreviate "Civilization: Call to Power" as
"Civ:CTF", rather than "Civ:CTP".

Playing with AIs can be easier than creating each AI separately.  Just
start civserver and type "set aifill 7".  Then, when you connect with your
civclient and "start" the game (from the server) you'll be facing six AI
opponents (the 7 from aifill minus one human (yourself)) that are randomly
selected from the list of nations.

I don't know if you might want to mention Freeciv's high degree of
configurability -- the 50+ server options; the rulesets (techs,
governments, units, buildings, terrain, nations, cities), which control
most facets of the game; the tilesets, which control the graphical
presentation.  And more is on the way.

Thanks, again.
