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 individual unit's jobs. Globulation 2 also [[AI|features AI]] allowing single-player games or any possible combination of human-computer teams. Also included is a [[Map_editor_guide|scripting language]] for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated [[Map_editor_guide|map editor]]. Globulation2 can be played 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]] |

*22.04.2007 - The front page was spammed by a user known Uzman. He *very impressivly* overwrote the main page with some links that said "HacKeD BY UzMan - NeOSTReaM - Zaygo - BloodyHacker And BloodyHackerz.Com TeaM" on public wiki on an open source webpage, certainly not something any person could do. The changes where reverted and the admin has banned Uzman. |
