Players take the role of a tribe leader in 4000 BC and have to guide their people through the centuries. Over time, new technologies are discovered, which allow the construction of new city buildings and the deployment of new units. Players can wage war on one another or form complex diplomatic relationships.
The game ends when one civilization has eradicated all others, when one people has accomplished the goal of space colonization, or at a certain deadline. If more than one civilization remains at the deadline, the player with the highest score wins. Points are awarded for the size of a civilization, its wealth, and cultural and scientific advances.
Freeciv is quite configurable, so it can be played in Civilization I, Civilization II or Freeciv mode, or in a custom mode. Graphics and sounds can be replaced; there are both isometric and two-dimensional graphics packages (tilesets).
Freeciv uses TCP/IP networking. Players have to connect to a server, which can be run locally but is usually remote. Freeciv can be played solo against AI opponents, or as a multiplayer game against other humans. Playing solo is done as a special case of multiplayer where only one human player connects to a locally run server.
One or several players act as game administrator and can configure the game rules. Typically modified rules are:
While the game is turn based, players move simultaneously. Computer players move separately.
In releases before the current 2.0.0 beta release, AI players could not engage in diplomatic relationships with human players. Under the current release, AI players will engage in a very deterministic (not random) diplomacy.
Freeciv has a map and scenario editor called Civworld available as a separate download.
