    CivNet was released in 1995. That was the first multiplayer Civilization.

    In other news, Civilization 3 is due October 17.

    It is true that FreeCiv is more a clone of Civilization II than Civilization I these days, but it still hasn't really hit that mark yet. Certainly not in the AI.

    There is some hope. The Sid Meier's game "Alpha Centauri" is available for Linux, though it did take Loki forever to get it out.

  4. wonder if they fixed the pollution problem by Scudsucker · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Civilization II, the only pollution that has any effect on the world is that generated by the player....the AI doesn't make any. In FreeCiv, the rate of pollution seems to be about the same....but now its counted for each player, human and AI! So if you're playing with 5 AI's, you have 5 times as much pollution, so you tend to get massive global warming by the 1950's.
