Freeciv is a Free and Open Source empire-building strategy game inspired by the history of human civilization. The game commences in prehistory and your mission is to lead your tribe from the stone age to the space age...





Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal:
To become the greatest civilization.



I've compiled only the gtk client because is less resource demanding than the sdl client. Works in 4.1.2, 4.2 and 4.3.1 tested in all of them.

Because I prefere to listen to my music rather than the game's sounds and because the sound of the game needs sdl mixer (I tend to dislike sdl) I have compiled it without sound. If anybody wants to play the game with the sound on then tell me and I will provide an update pet.

Of course as always there is a separate pet with the locales, and a libiconv pet which is necessary dependency.

freeciv game 2.1.9 8379K extracted

freeciv locales 2.1.9 12M extracted

libiconv-1.12-i486.pet - 1.3 Mb

Just in case the above links don't work you can find also the pets here thanks to sullysat

Nice. Good to see a new version of FreeCiv's finally been compiled. We've been stuck with 2.10 for ages. The pet you've posted, it's not actually in Chinese right?

Actually with the locales is in 31 languages. After all being Greek it would be difficult to read Chinese, as here what we are saying when something is not understandable: "this looks like Chinese to me"

Probably you have missed the 2.1.8 which I had compiled also.

FreeCiv is the only game I play once every 2-3 months and because of that I'm going to keep updated pets whenever there is new version.

Hate to threadzombie, but the aforementioned pet cannot be downloaded from fileqube anymore. Anywhere else it can be mirrored?

[Michalis]

Thanks for the info I hadn't noticed it. If it won't be possible to download it in the next 2 days I'll upload it somewhere else, I just can't do it now.

[Gedrean]

Thanks!

[Michalis]

I uploaded the files to another hosting service so for the next 2 months propably everything will be ok.

[Gedrean]

Thank you so much. I haven't replied in a bit - because I"ve been ADDICTED TO FREECIV! lol

Okay folks,

This game is now mirrored on my website. It took longer than I would have liked because I had to figure out that I can't just do quick ftp.

Instead I set up a page to host the programs that I'm storing. There will be more soon.
