Globulation 2 is a real-time strategy game which minimizes micro-management by automatically assigning tasks to units [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].


The player chooses the number of units he wants to assign to various tasks, and the units will do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows the user to manage more units and focus on strategies rather than individual units jobs [7].


How it works

[edit]

The player chooses the number of units he wants to assign to various tasks, and the units will do their best to satisfy the requests.

This allows the user to manage more units and focus on strategies rather than individual units jobs [8].

Available Tasks

[edit]
build/upgrade/maintain buildings
  1. built to level 1
  2. maintain at level 1
  3. upgrade to level 2
  4. maintain at level 2
  5. upgrade to level 3
  6. maintaine at level 3

where not all buildings need maintenance.

do flag-jobs
war flags request warriors at a set location
exploration flags control explorers
clearing flags define areas to be cleared from wheat, wood, algae and/or papyrous
passive jobs
with clearing areas accidently walking-by workers are instructed to clear the ressource if any
forbidden areas are mainly used to forbid harvesting all wheat/wood so there always remains a seed to grow back
implicit tasks
heal
feed

Hungry units automatically try to get food in inns if they are hungry and to get medical treatment in hospitals if they are hurt. This makes Globulation2 a very lively game.

Units

[edit]

The rather poor set of 3 kinds of units, workers, flying explorers and warriors differ in almost all aspects:

workers
can build/upgrade/maintain/repair/clear
learn at school/pool/racetrack
warriors
can attack
learn at barracks/pool/racetrack
explorers
can fly/attack air/attack ground at level 3

For more details please see the projects wiki.

Buildings

[edit]

There is no explicit tech tree although on most maps a pool is needed to train swimmers to fetch algue to build schools. Upgrades need workers that went through a school. A list of all buildings is available here.

Game modes

[edit]

It can be played by a single player, through a local area network (LAN), or through the Internet thanks to Ysagoon Online Game (YOG), a meta-server. It also features AI for playing with computer teams, a scripting language for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated map editor.

Globulation 2 is a multi-platform free software package (released under the GNU Public License), included in several major open source operating system distributions [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] and is rated 5 stars (out of 5) on Linux game tome.
