Freeciv can now be played on Android smart phones. Freeciv is a turn based open source version of the classic game Civilization.
The polish developer Michal "Zielmicha" Zielinski is working on a Freciv version for Android devices. However, his Freeciv port is not complete yet, but curious strategy fan can already test it.
The last prerelease version 1.0.2 was relased at the end of October. It contains a first support for diplomacy and a faster scolling over the game map. Additionally, a memory problem was fixed and an autoupdate fuction was added.

The prerelease version of Freeciv for Android is still published by Zielmicha on his own website and cannot be downloaded from the Android Market. In the Android Market, Michal Zielinski already distributes two free games: Funnyboat and Space Shooter.
The free turn based strategy game Freeciv is available for the opertaing systems Solaris, Linux, BSD, Unix, AmigaOS, Mac OS X, and Windows. And now also for Android.

But it isn't for the U.S., its largest market; this game is being developed for South Korea. The New York company—best known for its "Grand Theft Auto" and "Borderlands" franchises—is the latest of a bevy of large U.S. game companies attempting to embrace the fast-growing Asian markets, where gaming consoles such as Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 barely have a presence.

Context assumed. The ninety-eighth episode of PolyCast, "Meant to Interpret That", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick and Lisa "qnl" Bang with returning guest co-hosts Michael "emeseles" Lucas-Smith, Peter "Emperor Peter" and Wouter "Locutus" Snijders.
Here is the summery of the topics:

Name dropping not needed, a co-host cherry picking from fan-written CivV poems, substantiated -- or just wishful -- thinking based on a photo, call to a convention meet up in Germany, and feigning regret.
PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding and RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution.
As always, enjoy.
