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 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. Globulation2 can be played in single player mode, through your local network, or over the Internet with Ysagoon Online Gaming (pronounced ''yog'' as in ''yoghurt''). -- [[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 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. --> |

Globulation 2 isn't just a bunch of code - it needs artwork, playable maps , campaigns and tutorials, sound effects, and documentation to make a fun game. If you want to see your name in Globulation 2's credits, jump right in! |

* '''Campaign''' - The current campaign is too short , and gameplay features have changed since the campaign was written, making some of the later levels almost impossible to complete. The game has a built-in map editor, and creating a new campaign would help new players immensely. |
|
* We don't have anyone working on graphics at the moment. The in-game artwork is looking a bit tired, we need images for some types of half-created and half-destroyed buildings, and so on. |
|
|
⚫ |
* '''Bug Hunting''' - Most of all, tell us if you find any bugs! You can report them [http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=glob2 here], but be sure to leave some contact details in case we need to ask you follow-up questions. |

* The current tutorial and campaign are too short and don't really leave players with a good grasp of the game. Also, gameplay features have changed since the campaign was written, making some of the later levels almost impossible to complete. The game has a built-in map editor, and creating a new tutorial or campaign would help new players immensely. |
