Great for those who love Civ 2!

As a fan of Civ 2, this is a similar game! Only wish I could zoom in on the map because on smaller screens it's difficult to see things and to make accurate moves. Keep up the great work!

A lovely port of an old favourite

I have spent countless hours on this game over the years, starting with the Linux version over two decades ago. This is a faithful port to iOS that doesn’t require a network connection to play.

I love it

Wonderful game but

It isn’t fitted to the screen of my phone so half the controls are unavailable but before that it was a really good game

Please make the ai less difficult.

This is possibly my favorite game on the AppStore, however the game itself is near impossibly hard to play due to the ai being a near perfect being half the time.

Waste of time

AI difficultly is insane you try any strategy the game magically falls out of your favor. Plus AI has more technology unlocked in beginning so constantly playing catch up. What a joke, that’s why the developers won’t reply back no more. Everything is there to make a great game, but they refuse to be realistic with the difficult. Your punished for trying to build to quickly or focus on one settlement.

AI is too strong

I loved playing the free versions on my old laptop but this version seems to allow AI be very strong and aggressive even on the easiest setting. Sometimes I would just like to build in peace but no matter what you do you get attacked.

Fun

Awesome game, well thought out, steep learning curve. If there is any kind of documentation/help/tutorial, I haven’t found it.

Not freeciv

Doesn’t follow any of the rules you’d expect, invents whole new rules, doesn’t even show a tech tree, can’t bump, no attack button, doesn’t show percent chance or how many or which units are in a stack. Really awful to play.

Thanks for porting to the Mac!

It’s hard to find decent open-source games for the Mac. And this one plays without any bugs I have met so far. As good as the other game Luanti!

Needs some work

I loved the PC FreeCiv and this has the features of that but, the AI seems consistently advantaged across the difficulty levels. No matter what I try, what I change in my strategy, AI is always better, always a step ahead (Even if I get ahead of the AI in tech). I played 10-15 games before deleting the app and all were so stacked against me (the last half I played on novice) and could barely keep up with the AI. Love the game but the AI needs some tweaking before I play again.

Phenomenal port

Great port of a classic PC game, I recommend everyone try the full version on their computer. Would be nice to be able to change rule sets on here

A suggestion

I was wondering if you could make your game accessible for blind people using VoiceOver screen reader. I noticed some of the options on the screen are accessible if I turn direct touch on and screen recognition but I can’t fundamentally move the units so it’s still not fully accessible and I therefore hope you could consider this in future updates thank you and have a good day :-)

Fun tablet/mobile freeciv port!

Love this game! It’s a great clone of the official civilization 2 & 3. Not that difficult once you get used to the differences. Give it a go!

Fun! Similar to Civilization

If you like the old school civilization games you like Freeciv

Absolutely Amazing!

A great option for playing Freeciv on the go, haven’t experienced and real issues, but maybe a multiplayer (local or online) would be loved! Though it may not be the best for those new to the genre or not experienced due to it’s mildly steep learning curve, you have done an amazing job.

Um problema

Jogo incrível, muito legal, mas ainda acho que precisam melhorar as batalhas, porque é muito difícil fazer qualquer conquista, apenas com sorte teria alguma chance.

Nostalgic

It takes a little getting used to the interface, but once you get the hang of it, it’s just like old school CIVII, but formatted to fit in the palm of your hand. Spent hours playing as a kid, and now I get to experience it again with my own kids. Shoutout to the devs! Excellent Work!

Great game

Great implementation of the Civilisation gameplay. The game is completely free without any advertisements.

The game crashes

When I start the next move the game crashes although this has never happened before I hope they fix it

Crashes after a hundred or so turns

After talking a hundred or so turns, the app now exits unexpectedly whenever I tap “end turn.” The is no way to proceed with the game.
