![]() In FreeCol the player leads the colony of a European power from the arrival on the shore of the New World into the future, achieving victory by one of two possible victory conditions: either gaining independence by declaring independence and subsequently defeating the dispatched royal expeditionary force or by defeating the colonies of all the competing European powers by the year 1600. Gameplay Screenshot of the unit selection screen. Moreover, in addition to the classical Colonization rules, it features an additional ruleset that incorporates ideas that didn't make it to the final version of Meier's game, requests by fans and original concepts like new European players with new national bonuses. While remaining faithful to the original in terms of mechanics and gameplay, FreeCol features redesigned graphics. In practice, it is known to run on Linux and Windows, as well as Mac OS X (with some limitations). įreeCol is mostly programmed in Java and should thus be platform-independent. In 2023, the FreeCol project reached its 1.0 release, after twenty years of development. FreeCol is free and open source software released under the GNU GPL-2.0-or-later. but hey, I am doing it in a video game.Af ang ar arz be bg br bs ca cs-CZ da de el en-GB eo es et eu fa fi fr gl grc he hsb hu ia id it-IT ja km ko lt mk ms nb nds nl nl-BE nn oc pl-PL pms pt-BR pt-PT qqq ru sq sv ta tl tr uk zh-CNįreeCol is a 4X video game, a clone of Sid Meier's Colonization. They all include a virtual mass of casualties.Īfter playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for a few hours, I wonder how many people that were just guarding some random place I had murdered.

Side note I have seen recently posts from native American ancestors who point out the tribes were constantly killing each other off. We shouldn't shy away from such knowledge, and try to learn to not do horrible things in the future.

Quoting: Deleted_UserThat being said i think that a Colonization Game should say a word or two about History of the Native Americans during the Colonization Era nowadays. I think I used to have an older version, like 0.1 or 0.3 probably from 20ish years ago, but I must have gotten rid of it or it is on an old hard drive. I never participated in the project, but I used to love Colonization back in the day, and this game was one I was excited about. I just checked my Projects/SourceCode directory, and I have fcca-0.8.0 in there (around 2008?), mainly to study.

Took a while huh? It's not quite as well-known or as loved as some other free and open source games, but worth pointing out: FreeCol 1.0 is out now. ![]()
