  Getting from the demo stage to the current state has been about making small incremental improvements. There was a huge list of things not working, and now there is an even bigger list of things not working. The game is by no means complete yet. I find it very useful to use HN and reddit to get feedback from users. That feedback is very important to know that I'm working on things which are useful to the users. Also, the demo was hosted by me personally, this server is hosted by the freeciv project, on the freeciv.org domain. The demo was supported by ads, this version is supported by donations. Supporting the game by ads was not sustainable, so let's see how it goes with donations this time around. It is quite costly to host a powerful enough server to be able to run the full game server-side for each player.
