Check out “Power of Planets – Earth”

By | September 18, 2023

As we know, the civ community is very creative, shown by the countless mods for all the Civ games we have. Another civ fan has set out for something completely different: A MMO version of FreeCiv! In “Power Of Planets” you play as one of many players in a quasi-real time environment. You start with a couple of units on a continent, totally civ-style, but all your opponents are humans, and units are not moved turn-based, but they get a count-down after their movemenets are exhausted until the are recharged.

You can download the game for Windows, Linux and Android here, or start an online version in the browser.
