ITT I am sharing recorded Owncast streams of my single-player FreeCiv matches. Viewers are invited to share tips and advice for future matches in the subsequent discussion. Players are also invited to share their own single-player matches in this thread.
Day One Dictator
Welcome to FreeCiv, an open source, turn-based strategy game inspired by Sid Meyer’s Civilization series! I have played both the fourth and sixth installment of the Sid Meyer franchise, but was excited to find an open source alternative that would be suitable for eom.dev.
This live stream was one of my first ever matches of FreeCiv. I used the default game settings, and my goal was more to learn how to play than to seriously attempt a victory. Even so, I managed to make it to the Common Era before both my neighbors declared war. Had I not mistakenly cancelled my research of iron working, the Roman Legions would have been able to mount a more effective defense.
I would really like to organize some multiplayer matches for this game. We can do both scheduled events as well as longer play-by-email matches if there is sufficient interest. I have created a Matrix room we can use to set up these events.
