This is XBattle by Greg Lesher, based on the original by teve Lehar released
|
|
in 1991, and including certain enhancements, modifications, and bug fixes
|
|
suggested by a number of contributers from all over the world.
|
|
|
|
XBattle is a concurrent multi-player game which combines elements of strategy
|
|
with arcade-like action to capture a wide range of military scenarios.
|
|
The game is based on X Windows, which you must have installed to run xbattle.
|
|
Opponents play from separate displays, with commands being executed concurrently
|
|
-- the players do not take "turns", but rather they all issue their commands
|
|
simultaneously. There can be any number of players, with each player assigned
|
|
to a specific team, indicated by marker colors. The game board is a matrix
|
|
of cells (square, hexes, etc.) that can be occupied by colored troops,
|
|
with the goal of the game being to eliminate the enemy from the board by
|
|
attacking cells occupied by enemy troops. A wide variety of command line options
|
|
(and previously configured game files) provide an abundance of different
|
|
scenarios and gaming environments.
|
|
|
|
If you have never used xbattle before, read the introduction on the xbattle Web
|
|
site. To get the feel of the game, you can run the "tutorial1" and "tutorial2"
|
|
scripts supplied with the game. These start a series of small example games that
|
|
you can play around with to learn the various options available with the game.
