DESCRIPTION

       Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each
       player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the
       ultimate goal: To become the greatest civilization.

       Players of Civilization II(R) by Microprose(R) should feel at home,
       since one aim of Freeciv is to have compatible rules.

       Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and
       enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network
       games out there!

       This is the custom content installer program - see also
       freeciv-server(6) freeciv-client(6) .

       This program allows users to select and download add-on content
       ("modpacks") for Freeciv from the Internet, either from a list
       maintained by the Freeciv team, or by using a URL obtained by other
       means. It takes care of installing the files in the correct place under
       the user's home directory for this version of Freeciv; it does not
       install anything for system-wide use.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details
       regarding the options when using freeciv-modpack see the documentation
       at the Freeciv website <http://www.freeciv.org/> as well as the
       documentation which is part of the Freeciv distribution.
