Don't bother. Though on the technical aspect, congratulations! Please make this a game, it would be a block buster :) Worst implementation of civilization ever. Don’t bother.

That means no cease fires, truces, alliances; you will be in the default state of war with all parties. I think that will also drastically curtail any use ( even hostile ) of diplomats and spies. I also suspect other relevant controls ( to the game as a whole ) are missing. I only played the single person game against 4 computer opponents because I never found another human player available at freeciv.net . Also be aware that freeciv has been around a looong time, and the fans got VERY good, and do something similar to sniping on EBAY with game turns, even using special adapted clients with devastating effect. You probably want to be in a web-client-only game, if multiplaying using a web client. Also, much of the fan base/ host base got burnt out/ spent out by about 2006. I do applaud the development of web standards, and canvas specifically, that allows the web client to exist. The rendering looked good to me ( I am using Seamonkey 2.0.3 in Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on a Dell Inspiron 8200 ).
