Freeciv is a client/server system. But in most cases you don't have to worry about this; the server is run automatically for you when you start a new game. So unless you're using one of the older Freeciv client programs all you have to do is run the client. Do this by double-clicking on the civclient executable program or by typing civclient in a terminal. Once the client starts, select start new game. Now edit your game settings (the defaults should be fine for a beginner-level single-player game) and press the start button.

Freeciv is a client/server system. But in most cases you don't have to worry about this; the server is run automatically for you when you start a new game. So unless you're using one of the older Freeciv client programs all you have to do is run the client. Do this by double-clicking on the civclient executable program or by typing civclient in a terminal. Once the client starts, select start new game. Now edit your game settings (the defaults should be fine for a beginner-level single-player game) and press the start button. Once the game is started you can find information in its Help menu. If you've never played a Civilization-style game before you may want to look at the help on Playing. You can continue to change the game settings through the Server Options menu item in the Game menu. Type /help in the chatline (or server command line) to get more information about server commands. Detailed explanations of how to play Freeciv are also in the ./doc/README file distributed with the source code, and in the online manual available on this site. The manual covers both the client and the server, but it may not completely match the version you are playing. It is available in several languages and it can be downloaded for offline use.
