Free freecol software for linux

FreeCol team aims to create an Open Source version of Colonization. At first well try to make an exact clone of Colonization.
The visuals will be brought up to date with more recent standards but will remain clean, simple and functional. Certain new features will be implemented but the gameplay and the rules will be exactly the same as the original game. Examples of modern features are: an isometric map and multiplayer support.
This clone will be developed incrementally and result in FreeCol 1.0.0 which will be an almost exact Colonization clone. Incremental development basically means that well add features one at a time. This allows us to have a running program at all times and also to release an unfinished but working game once in a while.
Once FreeCol 1.0.0 is finished well start working towards FreeCol 2.0.0. FreeCol 2 will go beyond the original Colonization and will have many new features, it will be an implementation of our (and our users) image of what Colonization 2 would have been.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug that caused native units to be frozen on the map board and adds a few new features.
