The following sections describe two of the more interesting games that come with Fedora or
that can be downloaded from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games: Freeciv and
PlanetPenguin Racer (ppracer).
Freeciv
Freeciv is a free clone of the popular Civilization game series from Atari. With Freeciv, you create a
civilization that challenges competing civilizations for world dominance.
A commercial port of Civilization for Linux (Civilization: Call to Power) was created a
few years ago by Loki Games (described later in this chapter).
The commonly distributed version of Freeciv contains both client software (to play the game) and
server software (to connect players). You can connect to your server and try the game yourself
or (with a network connection) play against up to 14 other players on the Internet. To install
Freeciv, check out the download page on the www.freeciv.org Web site. Choose your language,
start downloading, install, and have fun.
You can start Freeciv from a Terminal window by typing:
$ civclient &
Figure 23-1 shows the window that appears when you start Freeciv.
