That's very nice to see! I have not tried it yet but now I could conceivably play freeciv on the ipad in safari, opera or chrome. How difficult would it be to package the html/js and server into a native iOS app? Is there a way to set the tiling to flat 2D instead of isometric as in the native client? I always prefer to play that way. For those wanting to play the granddaddy of Civ, try Empire or Empire Deluxe on iPad. http://killerbeesoftware.com/kbsgames/ednew/ http://www.classicempire.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Deluxe#Empire_Deluxe/

Or better yet, try the board game variants and derivatives (Eclipse, Empire 4). http://empire-game.org/empire/history/detailed/
