Freeciv

A multiplayer, turn-based strategy computer game. Players take the role of a leader of a tribe 4000 years B.C.E. and have to guide their people through the centuries. The game ends when one civilization has eradicated all others, when one people has accomplished the goal of space colonization, or at a certain deadline.

Unless only one civilization remains, the winner is the player with the highest score. Points are awarded for the size of a civilization, its wealth, and cultural and scientific advances.

The game was inspired by the commercial computer game Civilization (and sequels), which are in turn based on the board game of the same name. Freeciv is quite configurable, so it can be played in Civilization I, Civilization II or Freeciv mode, or you can write your own mode.
