Download Freeciv 2.2.1

Gamers who spent a lot of time on Sid Meier’s Civilization, which was released for DOS by Microprose in 1991, should be careful not to get addicted again. Since 1995, a group of developers has been working under the name Freeciv to make an open source version based on this turn-based strategy game. The players of this game start in the year 4000 BC with a handful of settlers and try to establish a successful civilization. For more information, we refer you to this and this pages.
