Re:Show HN: Full Freeciv client running on WebAssembly by freeciv21 on Sunday January 23, 2022 @10:52AM (#30047053)
There are only about 4-6 players left who still do regular multiplayer, that is playing a whole game in a 2-3 hour session. And they tend to be a traditional sort who still use an old 2.0 "warclient" from over a decade ago. The playstyle there converged pretty quickly on radio around turn 65, and extreme fighting for the rest of the game. Longturn works pretty well, but it takes a bit of a commitment to play every day, which is one reason we are trying to revive other game styles.

haha, ok warclient is what I remember. I never seriously played myself, but it was intriguing. Happy to hear it's still going on
