iOS mobile support needs to be improved some still. For now the game works best on a laptop or desktop PC. Thank you for reporting!

Sure, we can make right click have a default action, for example move. Thank you for reporting!

Thanks for the feedback, we will fix this. The arrow keys direction are still set in the directions for the isometric 2D version, and should be updated for the new 3D map view.

To move a unit, first select the unit you want to move, then press "G" for Goto, and then click on the destination using the mouse. You can also right-click on a unit to get a context-menu for available actions for each unit.

So much traffic from Slashdot, but this has been fixed now, more Freeciv game servers have been enabled to allow more games.
Submission + - Freeciv 3D in the browser now ready! (fciv.net)
Andreas(R) writes: Freeciv 3D in the browser now ready to be played by everyone on FCIV.NET! This is a version of the classic strategy game Freeciv. The game is open source with an AGPL license, and has been in development since 2016. Freeciv 3D has the same goal as Lichess and other open source web games: creating an accessible platform for Freeciv players of all levels. Freeciv 3D for the web has been in development for many years, and now we think the game is ready!

The game itself uses about 800 MB of RAM on a typical map. On mobile devices with just 2GB of RAM the game will crash. 3 GB of total RAM always works without any problems. Most gaming devices have more than 3 GB of RAM these days anyway.

The client is using JavaScript, jQuery, jQuery UI and the Three.js 3d engine. The server is running a Java web application on Tomcat, the Freeciv server is implemented in C and there are processes which use Python.

The game works nicely in Firefox and any other modern browser. It requires that your computer or mobile device has at least 3 gigabytes of memory, and will not work so well if you have less.

I'm one of the developers of Freeciv-web. Please post your questions and feedback here or on the Github issue tracker. This is a beta-version, so there are many things to improve in the game. If you are a good developer or 3D artist perhaps you would be interested in helping improve the game also. Creating an open source game like this can be a lot of fun!
Submission + - Freeciv WebGL 3D beta-version released (freeciv.org)
Andreas(R) writes: A beta of the 3D WebGL version of Freeciv has been released today. Freeciv is the classic open source strategy game, included in most Linux distributions and first released in 1996 by three danish students. Now the developers are working on bringing the game to the modern era with 3D WebGL graphics. The game will work on any device with a browser with HTML5 and WebGL support, and 3GB of RAM. It is a volunteer community development project and anyone is welcome to contribute to the project. Have fun and remember to sleep!
