What It Can't Do
- •Not all Civ V expansions are implemented yet (e.g., trade routes, World Congress); graphics and animations are simplified compared to the original; multiplayer is limited to local hotseat; modding API is still evolving and may break existing mods.

- A free, open-source 4X game without microtransactions
Detailed Introduction
Unciv is a free and open-source recreation of Sid Meier's Civilization V, built with LibGDX for Android and desktop platforms. It prioritizes moddability, allowing users to tweak game mechanics, units, and civilizations through JSON-based mods. Unlike the original Civ V, Unciv runs smoothly on low-end hardware (including Raspberry Pi) and is entirely community-driven. It supports single-player and hotseat multiplayer, with plans to add Gods & Kings and Brave New World mechanics. Compared to FreeCiv, Unciv offers a more faithful Civ V experience with modern UI and active development.
