'''Freeciv''' is an open-source, free-to-play, single-player or multi-player, computer game developed independently (since 1996), inspired by [[Civilization]]: it "was created as a multiplayer version of Civilization™". Its current main downloadable versions include one that is very like [[Civilization II]] but with distinct improvements. Active development continues on several fronts. Freeciv multiplayer is enabled by having one player host a server.
