![]() Republic is not too different from the standard game. Instead you get those additional free units at city size of 12. You get more free units but unlike with some other governments, you don't get additional upkeep free units when the city size hits 8. Monarchy may be well suited if you want to wage wars. With tribalism you have more upkeep free units. Despotism also allows keeping the citizens content with up to 20 units. With despotism you get slightly more trade and you may be able to race techs slightly faster. The game has two initial governments (in addition to anarchy) and choosing between them is one of the first things you may want to do when the game starts. This means that if the attacker has for example attack of 6 and there is only 1/3 moves left, the attack happens with a power of 2 instead of usual 6. This means that if the attacking unit has less than 1 move, the attack power is multiplied with the moves left. If the ownership of the tile changes, the owner (or the ally of the owner) can use the roads. The game also uses restrictinfra meaning that the attacker can't use enemy roads for making the units to move faster and the moves are calculated like there was no roads. ![]() This was compensated by making the settlers to cost less shields. This is to make smallpoxing (building plenty of small cities) less interesting. The pre-fort was added to make it less convenient to build forts when you attack.īuilding settlers cost 2 population. The pre-fort (with absolutely no effect or defensive value) and the actual fort. For LTT this feature was not removed but instead made more resource intensive. Some players have pointed out that it's unrealistic to terraform flat land into hills if the tile already has a city. For the rails the cost is 1/9 fragment and the only terrain improvement for not consuming any move points is the maglev you can build at the late game by upgrading rails. I there is a road the move cost is 3/9 or 1/3 fragments meaning that the unit can move 3 tiles (with a road) before one move is fully consumed. If there is no road and the player moves on plains, that will cost 9 fragments (1 move). The game uses 9 move fragments for moving the units. The Great Wonder Verroccios will upgrade one additional unit for the owner of the wonder but it is a Great Wonder an dony one player can have it at a time. However if you upgrade them with gold you will lose one veteran level. When the units are upgraded this way they do not lose veteran levels. There is a small wonder (Leonardo's Workshop) for auto upgrading 2 units each turn. Together with bigger city working area and citymindist 4 (there needs to be 3 tiles between the cities) it is possible to build really big cities and defending them is not that hard if you invest on defensive units. The cities have bigger working radius allowing them to work on locations 3 tiles away from the city center. The biggest granary size is 40 allowing the players to grow the cities reasonably fast. This means that the city will grow from size 1 to size 2 once there is 12 food in the granary. The granary sizes allow growing big cities reasonably fast. The settlers can't be bribed so that the players starting next to an idler wouldn't get an advantage by bribing the idling settlers.Ĭities on hills no longer get +2 food for the city tile if the city tile also has a mine on it. In the traditional longturn games we often have plenty of start units so that the game starts really fast and there is plenty of doing in the early game. ![]() This document doesn't list all the features for the LTT (Long Turn Traditional) ruleset but instead the highlights and some of the new features and changes we have for multiplayer games. It still is fun to play for me, but it really will be a matter of personal preference as to whether you enjoy it or not.This is the first draft of this document and will be updated at a later time. The rules are subtly different which can change some of the strategies for play, but for the most part the same strategies will work. There are some features that are nice such as extremely large maps, and many more players in one game. Personally I actually prefer the original civ II game play, graphics and sound, but freeciv has some merit of its own. This is reflected in the way diplomacy works differently to the commercial games. The main draw card here is that multiplayer games are supported. There are unfortunately many subtle differences in game play that may annoy some players. There are different rule sets that you can use, for instance there is a rule set for the first civilization game. The default rules most resemble the rules of civilization II with some differences. The game play is of course very much like civilization. ![]()
