Download Freeciv 3.0.9

Gamers who spent a lot of time with Sid Meier's Civilization, which was released by Microprose for DOS in 1991, should be careful not to become hooked again. Since 1995, a group of developers has been working on creating an open source version based on this turn-based strategy game under the name Freeciv. The players of this game start in the year 4000 BC with a handful of colonists and try to establish a successful civilization. For more information, we refer you to this and this pages. The developers recently released version 3.0.9, a so-called bug fix release. The changelog for this release can be found below.
