FreeGameDev

Maybe a crazy idea, but since all attempts to create a 3d rendering engine for freeciv have failed so far it could be feasible to run freeciv inside of 0AD?
There exists a HTML5/ JavaScript version of freeciv for running it in a web browser and 0AD has a full spidermonkey JavaScript implementation to run its AI and other scripts. Thus potentially a lot of work could be saved by combining the two?

Thoughts?

Not feasible, as far as I can see it at a glance.

The APIs exposed to the JavaScript interpreter are completely different.

In 0AD it's a very high-level, custom, non-browser API to facilitate bots and change game behavior.
In a web browser it's the classical dom + canvas + other basic stuff APIs acting as SDL replacement et al. and the freeciv port is probably done compiling the complete code base using Emscripten.

Ahh OK, too bad then. Would have been cool
