After nearly four years of development, Freeciv 3.0, a multiplayer turn-based strategy game inspired by the Civilization series, has been released. The new version defaults to the civ2civ3 rule set, which matches the gameplay from Civilization III with the combat system from Civilization II. The Alien ruleset, previously supplied as a separate mod, is integrated into the main composition. For new installations, maps with the HEX topology (hexagonal layout) are enabled by default, for old installations, the option to continue using the iso (isometric infill) topology is provided.
