This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Cloud gaming is effectively impossible due to little things like the speed of light. Sure, you could play Civilization via cloud but good fucking luck with competitive shooters.

Would be cool to play civ5 on a long term server.

I'm thinking something that emails you when its your turn too. Like playing chess over mail.

Isn't that a thing in freeciv, that open source version of civilization?

There is a freeciv? How did i not know this

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, there's a web version of the game if you want to try it out, though it seems to be based on civilization 2 or 3 rather than 5 or 6.

Unciv is based on civ5 and has support for BNW from the mod list.

I believe freeciv is civ 1.
