About Freeciv
In Freeciv you build cities, research technologies, trade and negotiate while competing with other civilizations. The official page offers several Windows clients; the GTK4 client is the mainstream choice. The 2D turn-based format suits modest hardware better than demanding real-time 3D games.
For strategy with real-time battles, compare Freeciv with 0 A.D.. Its focus on gathering resources, building settlements and directing armies creates a different pace; check the graphics requirements before choosing it for an older PC.
