    There's a 160x90 and 80x50 worldmap in the scenario folder. Just select scenario from the start menu and load the map.

A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

        Yes, that should work as well. Essentially they are savegames.


        P.S

        Keep on Civ'in....

          Check download section in FreeCiv section at:

          I close future we should add some more maps.
          I'm not sure if maps on our website works with FreeCiv 1.14.0. Libore wrote than rather not.

            Since you're using fink, I would assume that you're reasonably familiar with the command line.

            The options that you'd want to use to the server are one of the following
            -f data/scenario/earth-80x50-v2.sav
            -f data/scenario/earth-160x90-v2.sav
            -f data/scenario/hagworld-120x60-v1.2.sav

            Please note that the filenames might be off slightly. I work off of CVS rather than the fink package, so I don't know if the scenarios have that exact filename. To find the scenario directory, type 'locate scenario' in a shell. That should list the freeciv scenario directory, possibly with directories mixed in.

                Each map file contains a capstring, indicating what version of the savefile format it is written in.

                For some period of time (I don't know exactly how long) some of the scenario maps indicated they were created with an older version than the sever was able to load. This problem was fixed in the 1.14 release.

                To fix the earth-160x90 map in the 1.13 release, change
                the line reading
                version=10702
                to read
                version=10900

                I think the others are ok.
