I know very little about the game, but I seem to remember that FreeCiv is roughly comparable to Civ2 (and ported).  Or am I just talking rubbish? :-?

Civilization II call to power is a complete shambles though

I bet with a copied graphics tileset and minimal rules bendings, you could make FreeCiv exactly like Civ2...

Unoccupied people in FreeCiv can be a performer, taxman or (I can't remember the third character) like in Civ3 so FreeCiv is already better than Civ2.

Civ2 is better than freeciv, no need to start tcp ip stack and playing against computer opponents is not fun with freeciv

Instead of wasting time wishing for a Civ2 clone, why not help the guys who are working on Realms of Power? It looks better than FreeCiv and looks like its giving Civ2 a run for its money.

This one looks to GFX overloaded IMHO. I liked the original Civilization most. (And played it some complete nights, only stopped bevore 9 AM as I had to arrive to work until 9 AM ;) GFX eye cande might be nice for the customer in the shop or for tha hfather selecting a game for his son, but I find it often disturbing in the game. The gameplay is the important thing, not the phantastic GFX. If you play chess on a computer a simple board with simple figures is best for example. 3D effects and GFX overloading look nice but are not omportant for long-time-motivation if the üplayer becomes bored....

I am currently playing FreeCiv against my son and I am really happy with it. Stable and comfortable,really a  very good Amiga-port by Sebastian Bauer!

And setting up the TCP/IP stack should not be too difficult for today Amigians ;)

Please dont use the words Civ2 and Call to Power in the same sentance. :-P

The only game purchase that made me physically sick. I am still going to therapy to get over it. Alpha Centauri was a far better game, even though it felt like Sid Mier made it so him and his mates could play it.
yes Call to Power is open source, but I cant see why people would jump on to developing a game from scratch when there are developers out there already working on similar projects in need of help.
I just wish I could do something useful to help.
