+cat << EOF
+Freeciv is a multiuser reimplementation for Unix/X of the famous
+Microprose game of Civilization. By default, the game is an improved
+Civ II, but this can be customized; modpacks for near-100%
+compatibility with Civ I and Civ II are included. Multiuser gameplay is
+real-time: in each turn, all human players move concurrently. The game
+is designed to remain fairly playable even on poor network connections.
+Freeciv can also be played on standalone machines, and its AI players
+are a good challenge for beginners. The source code comes with the
+server, two X clients, and non-X clients for MS Windows and Amiga.
+Freeciv is released under the GNU General Public License. It is
+maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is
+easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there.
