How do I use a different tileset?
The first thing to do is to download the tileset you want to use from Tilesets. Then you have to unpack the tileset into the DATA or root directory in your Freeciv directory (so if your Freeciv directory is C:\FREECIV-2.1.0, then you’d tell WinZip to extract to C:\FREECIV-2.1.0\DATA.) Make sure you tell your extraction program to extract into the subdirectories in the file. Once that’s done you can start using the new tileset (FINALLY!) You have to pass an argument to the Freeciv client so the easiest way to do that is to open a Command Prompt (from Start→Programs→Accessories→Command Prompt in my case, sometimes called an MS-DOS Window). Change to the Freeciv directory (for example, cd \FREECIV-2.1.0) and start the client with the -tiles tilesetname option.
