DESCRIPTION
Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each
player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the
ultimate goal: To become the greatest civilization.
Players of Civilization II® by Microprose® should feel at home, since
one aim of Freeciv is to have compatible rules.
Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusi‐
asts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out
there!
This is the custom content installer program - see also freeciv-
server(6)freeciv-client(6) .
This program allows users to select and download add-on content ("mod‐
packs") for Freeciv from the Internet, either from a list maintained by
the Freeciv team, or by using a URL obtained by other means. It takes
care of installing the files in the correct place under the user's home
directory for this version of Freeciv; it does not install anything for
system-wide use.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details
regarding the options when using freeciv-modpack see the documentation
at the Freeciv website ⟨http://www.freeciv.org/⟩ as well as the docu‐
mentation which is part of the Freeciv distribution.
