Freeciv Go

It’s alright, it’s just a bit soulless. Here are a few problems I have with it: It has no animations or victory animations and selecting a nation with that scroll bar is extremely painful (remnicent of that bad phone number selector). The AI is also impossible to deal with, It’s extremely difficult to have any sort of diplomacy at all because the AI will reject any offer you give them, even if you haven’t done anything wrong to them. There is no tech tree or in-game encyclopedia. Also Seretse Khama should be the leader of Botswana. The website version is better I think. Overall, it is a decent replica of the original game that can work on a phone.

This is a really fun game, one problem, the ai is a bit too overpowered. - if you are wanting to find tips I find the best way to beat the ai is to use marines and cruise missiles

This version of the app has with forward compatibility issues, such as becoming unresponsive after a “too close” alert As far as the CPU opponent being unbeatable, it’s exactly how the CPU in the desktop version behaves. The problem is with the FreeCiv code base rather than this particular port. To have a fighting chance, you need to take the huge risk of building wonders in your capital city to maximize culture and happiness. You also have to build roads, harbors and caravans to maximize trade. After your city grows a bit you have to pull a citizen away from working and make it an entertainer. If you have to defend your cities you should have enough money saved up to build a musketeer (or alpine troop) in each city being threatened. The CPUs will have hearts in their eyes and not attack you even if their attitude towards you is genocidal.

This is awesome.The only downside is the old-dated Freeciv version this app based on and the lack of customizement. For those who are unsure how to play,I mean winning the Ai,here’s some advice to give you some sense. First Remember defense is the most important thing here. If you want to invade Ai,you need defensive units to protect your attacking units since your units strength will decrease if you only have partial movement when the combat occurred. If you love peace or just got a terrible start where you can’t get an overwhelming army to flood the Ai,you need neccesary defense to avoid being conquered by the enemy Ai and sometimes one or two powerful attacking units to drive Ai units out of your high producing tiles. Anyway,you understand that you need defense right? Then how?Just one most advanced defensive unit possible and then city wall,coastal defense if possible,barrack(1,2,3),sam battery,sdi defense.The denfensive units you should pick up as soon as you can,from left to right,are Phalanx,Pikemen,Musketeers,Riflemen,Marines,Mech. Inf. and,if the city is coastal,(consider)AEGIS Cruiser.You may also want to have a diplomat or spy fortified in your cities,one for one,to prevent(actually decreasing the possibility) it getting harmful damages from Ais’ diplomat or spy.Notably,a larger city would give your defending unit more strength in combat.That is to say,a city of size 19 and musketeers is better than one with a size of 6!Get yourself several attacking units too in case your enemy controls the essential food producing tiles. Second Remember cities follow both “The More The Better” and “The Larger The Stronger” rules. Never waste your time on wandering your settlers around.Grains,Peasants,Whales,Fish,River whatever just make sure your settler-producing city have its health of +2 or higher even at size 1.Don’t stop to produce the stupid library or so on before you are sure that there’s no more tiles for your settlers to build city on.Well,defense is an exception that unless you’re sure nobody would appear to conquer your city when you focus on building settlers(enough coins for a one-turn defensive unit building is also ok).The trick is to research Map Making tech quickly so that you can use a trireme to take two settlers away to other islands or continents.Also,if you are lucky,you can use your explorer or diplomat(settlers and warriors are ok too) to “take” a tile,leaving the AI’s settler stuck there wasting turns,which will hopefully give you more cities than Ais. Third Small empire deserve no war. Though it’s nice to have the first city growing fast with its health +2 at size 1,there are games you don’t.The consequence is that you only have 3 or 4 cities until the end of game.(Well,you only have 2 or even 1?Start a new game.)You can still win as long as you don’t need to put resources on any attacking units.How?A good alliance and strong large empire Ai ally!This surely needs some luck,bro.As it really happens,put all your efforts on defending,improving tiles,enlarging cities and researching the fastest,which would be easy if Ais are spending turns on wars.Try to grab some useful wonders like A Smith’s Trading Co.,Shakespeare’s Theater,Women’s Suffrage and so on.But don’t waste your turns and caravels building any wonder that is useless in the modern era as a Democracy government(Pyramid and Leonardo's Workshop are the only two exceptions,if you managed to that early).At last,you should be able to set off a nice 100% success rate spaceship(you can get 53% or 56% during your building the most expensive space components,but that’s not recommended) with 15.1 years or 7.7 years,anything alike,and hopefully win the game while all your ally would declare war on you eventually. I believe you would be able to win and get one fun in the game since you know the three points.Have fun!There are way a lot to play with.
