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(R) by Microprose(R) 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. This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details regarding the options when using freeciv-modpack see the documentation at the Freeciv website <http://www.freeciv.org/> as well as the documentation which is part of the Freeciv distribution.
