Globulation 2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management. Globulation 2 also [[AI|features AI]] , allowing single-player games or any possible combination of human-computer teams. The game also includes a [[Map_editor_guide|scripting language]] for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated [[Map_editor_guide|map editor]]. You can play Globulation 2 in single player mode, through your local network, or over the Internet with [[YOG|Ysagoon Online Gaming]] (or ''YOG'' for short). -- [[Team|Globulation 2 team]] |

Migration away from the [http://lissrv3.epfl.ch/wiki/ old wiki] is complete (minus a few older, no longer used pages). But there is still a lot to do. You are welcome to check the [[Todo|Todo list]] and help us with whatever you are able to. |

As for the game, it is currently moving towards a 1.0 release! There is several things still left to implement, and an annoying bug that for some people causes a network game to desync after 30 seconds. If you're a c++ programmer, and have time to help with the development, please contact someone at #glob-dev on the [[IRC|IRC channel]] and they will be able to give you something to do. |

<!--Major work is now being done in the 1.1 branch (which for historical reasons is often referred to as the "map-rewrite" branch). The plan at present is that the 1.1 release should be largely a developer's release, with a thorough review and rewrite of the code, but no significant changes to gameplay.--> |
