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]] |
