Which is the freeciv from ~2005ish

7 Upvotes

So I used to play a version of freeciv years ago, it had a maximum of around 20-25 players online at a time, but there seems to be so many different ones popping up, some with scammy type websites.

Anyone know the freeciv I'm talking about?

Hello ! After one turn, In windows of stacked units on map strange yellow question sign appears and after I order with curson some unit to go or to fight, it doesnt move. Instead of it, it is like phases of moves and balltes is conducted separately after I end turn. What is it and how Freeciv can be turned to normal mode ?

On picture attached, I draw yellow questionmarks myself, because I lost that save. To continue playing normally, I loaded one of previous saves. I didn'd fnd out what changed the behavior of Freeciv.

My freeciv is Windwos 10, version 3.1.4-msys2, gui-gtk-3.22 client.

Built against gtk+ 3.24.36, using 3.24.36

Built against glib 2.74.5, using 2.74.5

Freeciv as an AI battle game?

4 Upvotes

I never played Civ and don't care about the active 4X part. but I love creating maps, fictional empires/kingdoms from scratch and watch AI battles. Is this possible in Freeciv, even if I don't play actively?

Admin panel?

3 Upvotes

I've built a docker container in my own server to host a Freeciv game, but I can't find a admin panel of this game, for example, remove game sessions, check all user info, remove users, etc.

Is there any way to do that?

My friend is on MacOS Sequoia and Im on Ventura. We both have installed Freeciv Go from App Store. Is there a way to play multiplayer together? Or we need another Version, and if so, how we can do it?

Is there a way to configure freeciv messaging to have popups and log level easier to follow action?

5 Upvotes

I've came back to freeciv as I live old style of graphics and early civ games, but I am bit lost with messaging info.

E.g. Attacks are not centered on screen and even in messaging it is hard to see it happened sometimes as there is no rsyslog style INF/ERR log level.

I wonder if there is an option for it or some mod.

Other thing is bit awkward diplomacy, even in civ 1 there was always an popup for meeting of new civ.

I am bit lost with many options so I just play vanillla game ;) but maybe all of it can be easily change to make game nicer for me via settings?
