Have now read through Hans' writeup of the game at Realms Beyond Forum : Freeciv LongTurn (LT57 report).
A great read.
This game was the 'best' of the series so far. The two teams were finely balanced until near the end.
The level of play on both sides was higher than previous, and both teams followed an honourable etiquette.
Congratulations to all who played, and especially to my opposing team captain cgalik who gave my team such worthy opponents.

A nickname was given to each of the captains during the game. 'Paranoid Farmer' and 'Eternal Noob'.
These two names seem better than the original team names chosen.
The 'Eternal Noobs' were punished repeatedly in the early game for leaving so many cities empty.
The 'Paranoid Farmers' were 'punished' by having so many units unused at the back. The game ended early before these units were upgraded and moved forward.
