maybe but freeCiv is an Java game. so jou need a VM for the GP.
Maybe you could use the VM for Linux an run it without any changes. But i don't this it is very playable.

It's still possible to port it if you have the source, media and time.

Actually freeciv is completely written in C. It also has an SDL frontend; the only problem is it probably requires a big drawing area for all the interface and the map...

FreeCiv already has a PocketPC Linux Port, which uses an ARM and the same display size, so it should be possible.

Don't know about you guys but I would prefer something with a less Win style and to play it horisontaly instead. So if anyone made a propper port to GP2X it could need a bit of tweaking.

FreeCiv should be portable over, though I also worry about screen fit. Still, if the original Civ ran on 320x200, should be workable. (Also, you coudl fire it up in CaSTaway of course 
With zodttd along, maybe he'll bring over TTD.. Civ and TTD .. yum

What do you want?
Well, there's a CIV II made for NGage... Maybe the company who did that could be "persuaded"...
...now, where did I put my persuadertron? :unsure:

Well, FreeCiv IS based on Civ 2, supports both isometric and classic 2D view, is C++ and SDL, what else do you need more?!?

It's still a clone, allbeit a good clone. But Brian Reynold's Civilization II would still be better.

Judging from the file name: "Freeciv-2.0.6-win32-gtk2-setup.exe". I say it's made in GTK2...

Well, yeah, but that's a library, why shouldn't it work on gp2x Linux?

If you look at the source, you can see it is structured as two distinct processes, a "server" which contains all the logic and the game status (and is OS-independent), and a "client" which displays the graphics, manages user input and talks back to the server. There are many clients, one for X/GTK2, one for X/GTK1, one win32, one for SDL, and some others.
Sadly, the SDL client is a work in progress, and does not even compile
