FREECIV21-MODPACK(6)		Freeciv21 Manual	    FREECIV21-MODPACK(6)

NAME
     freeciv21-modpack - Command line modpack installer for Freeciv21.

SYNOPSIS
     freeciv21-modpack [ -i|--install <URL> ] [ -L|--List <URL>] [ -h|--help ] [
     -v|--version ]

DESCRIPTION
     Freeciv21	is  a  free  open  source turn-based empire-building 4x strategy
     game, in which each player becomes the leader of a civilization.  You  com-
     pete  against  several  opponents to build cities and use them to support a
     military and an economy. Players strive to complete an empire that survives
     all encounters with its neighbors to emerge victorious. Play begins at  the
     dawn of history in 4,000 BCE.

     Freeciv21	takes  its roots in the well-known FOSS game Freeciv and extends
     it for more fun, with a revived focus on competitive  multiplayer	environ-
     ments.  Players  can  choose from over 500 nations and can play against the
     computer or other people in an active online community.

     The code is maintained by the team over at Longturn.net and is based on the
     QT framework. The game supports both hex and square  tiles  and  is  easily
     modified to create custom rules.

     This  is a program to read and install a modpack URL from the command line.
     If  you  are  looking  for  a  GUI  based	modpack  installer,   refer   to
     freeciv21-modpack-qt(6).
