"Globulation 2" is a real-time strategy game which minimizes the amount of micromanagement present in the game by automatically assigning tasks to units. [ [http://linux.about.com/od/softgame/fr/fr_Globulation2.htm "Globulation 2" review] at linux.about.com] [ [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7725 "Globulation 2" review] at linuxjournal.com]

Gameplay

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. There are three types of units: workers, warriors, and explorers. [ [http://www.globulation2.org/wiki/User_Manual "Globulation 2" User Manual] ]

There is no explicit technology tree although on most maps a pool is needed to train swimmers to fetch algae to build schools. Upgrades need workers that went through a school.

Game modes

It can be played by a single player, through a local area network (LAN), or through the Internet via 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 (Linux distributions, BSD Unix, GNU Hurd, Apple Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, etc) free software package (released under the GNU General Public License version 3), included in several major open source operating system distributions such as Debian [ [http://packages.debian.org/testing/games/glob2 Debian - Details of package glob2 in lenny ] ] and Ubuntu [ [http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/games/glob2 Ubuntu - glob2 ] ] and is rated 5 stars (out of 5) on Linux Game Tome.
