How to play

  1. Choose a nation and world settings in the linked single-player setup, then start a new game.
  2. Found cities, explore the map, grow your economy and research technologies while rival civilizations develop too.
  3. There is no short fixed round. The browser host supplies the current game controls, help and save options.

Make your move

  • Mouse: select map tiles, units and the host's city, research and production controls.
  • Keyboard: Freeciv has many commands and shortcuts; use the in-game help for the current browser build.
  • This is an independent Freeciv-web service. Its terms, sessions and save behavior are separate from Denny Games.

A small head start

  • Begin with a small settlement and check what nearby terrain can produce.
  • Balance food, production and research before expanding too quickly.
  • Use the host's save and privacy guidance before starting a long campaign.
