I'm sorry if this a stupid question but I have absouloutley no idea how to do anything on FreeCiv!

PS: Can you play with no humans?

You know, that's a really good question,... I never have taken a look at FreeCiv.

To play against AI, do this:

Open a console.
Launch `civserver`
In here, type in `set aifill 5` where 5 is how many players total you wish to have.

Now, launch a client (usually using `civclient`) and connect to localhost.

Now, in the server console, type in `start`.



It's not a stupid question! I ignored FreeCiv for far FAR too long because I didn't know what to do. It's worth learning! It's a great free game.

sorry for my bad English ..I just tried it out again ....

In 1.4..you just choose "new game" and it automatically starts up a local game....for a lan/internet-game I suppsoe you choose -> join game.....

it's gotten a lot eaiser than in previous versions indeed..there you had to connect to your localhost for a local game.. I suppose they do that automatically now...
