FreeCol for Linux

FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game made for Linux users.

It is an open source version of the classic game Colonization.

The goal of FreeCol is to offer a free and safe way to enjoy this old game with some modern updates.

At first, FreeCol will closely copy the original Colonization game.

The gameplay and rules will stay the same as the classic version.

Some new features are added, such as an isometric map view and multiplayer support, to make the game look and feel more up to date.

The graphics will be simple, clean, and easy to understand.

The game is being developed step by step, so each new release includes working features.

This means players can download and play a stable version even before FreeCol reaches its first full release (version 1.0.0).

However, until that version is complete, the game mainly acts as a clone of Colonization without big changes or new ideas.

After FreeCol 1.0.0 is ready, the developers will begin creating FreeCol 2.0.

This new version will add many upgrades and improvements to go beyond the original Colonization game.

It will include new features inspired by the team and community suggestions.

If you want a safe, open source strategy game like Colonization on Linux, FreeCol is a good choice.

It lets you try the classic game with some modern improvements and offers a plan for future updates.
