INTRODUCTION

Civil is a cross-platform, turnbased, networked strategy game allowing players
to take part in scenarios set during the American Civil war.  It features
detailed gameplay, nice graphics and sound support.

It is developed using Python, PyGame and SDL.


INSTALLATION

Read INSTALL.


RUNNING CIVIL

[TODO]

In the meantime you can read http://civil.sf.net/playing.html.


RUNNING THE SCENARIO EDITOR

The scenario editor is currently a work in progress. It has all needed
features to create scenarios, but it is a bit rough along the edges. It
requires Python-Qt. The editor may or may not be installed. If it is, it's
found as the binary civil-editor.
