Honestly, I suck at Freeciv. Anyone heard about something like a bot you can play against maybe?
Please give me the link if you find anything.

They are in the game and are called AI players.

On the freeciv server prompt type:
> create name_of_AI_player

if you want another one:
> create another_AI_player

By typing :
>easy

AI players are pretty much easy and if you
set the map generator to 2 , 3 or 4
you can get an island and grow until you
have enough force to wipe them.
type:
> set map_generator 3

It's in the documentation of freeciv. Read it. It's pretty good.

Good Luck!

You can type /set ai 7 in the server window to get 7 ai opponents
with authentic names. If you want to have the computer play for you,
for a while, you can type /ai <yourname> to toggle that on/off.

And maybe /hard <yourname> to give yourself a better ai.

I recommend this to-the-point tutorial written by one of out better players,
geared towards military conquest:
