PLAY IN BROWSERUpstream 3D illustration—not the tested Classic+ 2D session. Artwork rights review incomplete.
Freeciv-web
Rewrite a civilization’s rules, not its entire engine.
Play check: Externally play-tested 26 Oct 2026: solo city/production/research and guest save/restore; four turns, full match not assessed
Reuse: Source linked; check code and asset terms before remixing.
Full play status & limits
Play: Browser at creator’s site
Source match: Deployment/source-build match unknown; neither source link is verified to reproduce the tested runtime.
Remix: Pinned source; local build unverified; manual project setup and return review.
Runtime: Browser; game server required.
Quality: No catalogue quality acceptance recorded
Revival: Revival suitability unassessed; no abandonment claim
Observed official-listed Freecivweb.com Classic+ guest single-player: founded Oldenburg, completed Warriors, selected Alphabet research, saved turn 3, restored in a fresh tab and advanced to turn 4 with matching treasury and research. This is a dated four-turn feature test, not full-match acceptance or verification of the pinned upstream source.
Remix with your AI →
A first idea: After an unchanged isolated baseline and rights/security checks pass, make one beginner-interface change that labels unavailable production choices with their missing technology. Preserve game rules and test queue selection, prerequisite completion, production fallback, save and restore. This is a proposed remix, not an implemented module.

Source, setup & reuse terms
Build cities, direct an economy and guide a civilization against computer or human opponents through a web browser.
Code & assets
Code: AGPL-3.0 client; GPL server
Assets: Per-asset rights review incomplete. Project code grants do not establish blanket rights for tilesets, flags, fonts, sounds, music or screenshots. Visible music listing lacks adjacent per-track notices; this is an evidence gap, not a finding of infringement. Do not redistribute a bundled remix until selected assets and notices are verified.
What you need
The pinned freeciv/freeciv-web snapshot is a general upstream source reference, not the tested server build. The server links Lexxie9952/fcw.org-server/dev; exact deployed fork commit, matching C-server revision, dependency hashes and asset provenance remain unresolved. Neither complete verified source-to-build correspondence nor a local remix build is claimed.
- External play was tested without an account; same-browser guest save/restore worked despite account warnings. Cross-device and long-term guest recovery remain unverified. The tested server closes sessions after 40 minutes of inactivity.
- A remix requires a reviewed native C game server, Python WebSocket proxy/process launcher and Java web application; it is not a standalone static HTML upload.
- Choose an exact source baseline and separately pin C-server/dependencies/assets. Do not assume latest dev or the catalogue upstream pin equals the live server.
- Review acquisition, licenses, installer privileges and sandbox admission before execution. Current dev README says Docker setup is unmaintained; no stock installer execution is authorized by this handoff.

- The external server controls its own availability, accounts and save rules.
- Serving a modified AGPL client requires corresponding source availability; retain component notices.
- Tested Classic+ isometric 2D play is not the catalogue illustration of the upstream 3D renderer.
- The live deployment is not tied to the pinned general upstream commit; exact deployed SHA is unknown.
- A queued Granary without Pottery produced conflicting postponing/building messages, then changed to Coinage on the next turn. This observed UX issue remains unresolved.
- No full victory, combat/diplomacy review, independent remix, self-hosting, malware clearance or per-asset clearance is claimed.
