Freeciv LongTurn (LT57 report)

[HansLemurson]

How does turnplaying work? There is a webserver you log on to?

This is how I connect.

The game is hosted on the Longturn, each match has its own port number.

This is the official webpage for the game, where you register to sign up:  https://longturn.net/game/LT57/
LT57 registration is of course closed since the game has begun already, but there are future games planned too.
Once you've confirmed your participation, you'll get an email notification that the game is going to start (or you can check the LongTurn Discord channel), and will be able to log in as shown.

You are then greeted by a regular Freeciv game, but but with human opponents instead of AIs.  
Freeciv was designed to work multiplayer from the ground up, so even when you want to play a "single-player" game, you still create a local server and then connect to your local machine.
