DESCRIPTION

       Freeciv  is  a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the
       leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal:  To  become  the  greatest
       civilization.

       Players  of  Civilization II® by Microprose® should feel at home, since one aim of Freeciv
       is to have compatible rules.

       Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts,  and  is  easily
       one of the most fun and addictive network games out there!

       This  is  the  custom  content  installer  program  -  see also freeciv-server(6) freeciv-
       client(6) .

       This program allows users to select and download add-on content ("modpacks")  for  Freeciv
       from  the  Internet,  either from a list maintained by the Freeciv team, or by using a URL
       obtained by other means. It takes care of installing the files in the correct place  under
       the  user's  home  directory for this version of Freeciv; it does not install anything for
       system-wide use.
