> C-evo development shifted to forks, New Horizons and Distant Horizon.

What was the reason for this?


The forks built with Lazarus in instead of Delphi, and are cross platform, Linux as well as Windows.


- civ 1 --> OpenCiv1

- civ 2 --> FreeCiv

- civ 3 --> OpenCiv3

- civ 4 --> ???

- civ 5 --> UnCiv


I really wish the FreeCiv team would focus on their SDL build instead of all these fiddly and very fickle UI toolkits. They have an incredibly cool hex-based hybridized Civ 2/3 ruleset that might be the best of all worlds, IF it could actually start consistently on all systems. Drop GTK and Qt, clean it up, add some modern quality of life keybinds and UI info, make it the universal target.
