I remember trying Freeciv a long time ago and not being bowled over by
 it but it seems to have come along a lot since. Can anyone tell me
what the single player (vs. Computer) game is like?

I think i vaguely remember reading about supertux somewhere, it looks 
interesting so ill definitely give it try anyway.

Paul: Can you make some recomendations or provide some links 
for those Q3 engine based(or any) games you mentioned?

Rgds,
    Ollie.
