![]() ![]() Java is a very poor choice for any application/game where you have to wait for it to finish, like this end of turn. Civ 5 is a different game to earlier civs and at least worth a try, it plays different, i had different fun. ![]() It looks like it would be a great experience, but then stuff happens due to java (mainly really slow wait for next turn) and I end up never getting very far. I found freeciv outright better (unlike freecol): multiplayer similtaneous turns, optional hex maps, lots of game customisation. Whenever I have done so I ended up regretting it.Īs for freecol itself. In short: I'm not touching anything written in java. Just look at openttd which can run on more or less anything. Think of it as SimCity -four or five hundred years. FreeCol is more about the resource management of colonies. Civ is about developing technology/civilizations. FreeCiv is essentially a clone of Civilization/CIv2. If the goal is cross platform support (the main argument for java), then C/C++ can do that too. No, they are opensource clones of two different Sid Meiers games originally for DOS/Windows. It's great for performance as well as debugging and weird issues are always in your code. The game commences in prehistory and your. It is surprisingly easy to end up with code, which doesn't work identically on all platforms and since the differences appears to be internal issues in the virtual machine, they can get tricky to solve.Ĭ/C++ on the other hand is optimized code where the programmer have the full control. Freeciv is a Free and Open Source empire-building strategy game inspired by the history of human civilization. My experience since last century adds that "java runs on all platforms" is wrong. That is what I said in 1999 and it's pretty much how I view it today as well. Java adds a layer at execution time, which mean it executes slower, use more memory and the virtual machine can screw up in ways you have little control over. It has come far and has potential to be interesting, but it has a major flaw: it's written in java. ![]()
