Welcome

Welcome into Freeciv LongTurn site.

If you're new on this site, please look at Must Read section, learn about LT, and next sign to some open game.

If you're already LT player or candidate to player, you can also find Important Links useful.

You would also like to read/write something on our LT Forum.

Good luck and kick our asses :)

Must read

First of all, I'm assuming that you know Freeciv.
Read what is LongTurn and how is it different from normal Freeciv game.

You could also read Frequently Asked Questions.

After you know everything about LT, sign to some game: click appropriate button in some active game.

If you can see button, it means that you can sign. If you don't see it, it means that game already started.

If all games are running or full, you can apply to take over idler on regular LT game, or sign to experimental one (LTeX xx), which is almost always open for new players.

LT19 - halflongturn game with teams (17/30)

Let's play next game with teams.

Invention - 12h timeout instead of 24h. I think it's worth to try, but if everyone will say loud no - then I won't insist.

Poll placing deadline: 2010-02-24
Game will start: near 2010-03-05

Note: I won't allow any voting about increasing timeout before there is more than 15 ppl signed to game

Game settings will be based on LT17.

Team size limit=15 (it can be decreased however).

LTeX - sources

Sources of experimental LT civserver can be fetched from svn:


svn co https://pagema.net/svn/lt-civserver/trunk

LT XVIII (LT18) game (24/30)

Time to start LT18 (LT XVIII). Game without teams.

Settings based on LT XVI.

Game start deadline: near 2010-02-01.

Poll placing deadline: 2010-01-17.

Why don't we write world history

Few years ago, when LT was wiki page, people liked to write world history of each game. Next it was impossible using new engine, and finally about year ago I made such possibility.

And ... nobody is using it :). I thought that we will write essential facts about game world there, to let us refresh memory about that. Instead of that - we have few pages by Edrim few games ago and Bkoltai (last game)(quasi-fabularised story however, so probably not very interesting by someone else than Edrim an Bkoltai).

So, why you don't write World's history?
