Globulation 2 is an innovative Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game which reduces micro-management by automatically assigning tasks to units. Take a look at the screenshots or just download and try it right now. Globulation 2 is Free Software, licensed and distributed under the GNU General Public License.
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 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 (or YOG for short). -- Globulation 2 team

You Can Help!
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!
Heres some people we are looking for:
- Programmer: There's a wide variety of topics that need contribution. You name it - we need it.
- 3D Artist: To do an opening cinematic
- Music Artist: To do new in-game music
- Sound Artist: To do in game sound effects for events like attacking, moving (a globulation style footstep), dieing, birth, and more
- Map Designer: To give the game a good selection of maps, and a new, longer, in depth campaign
- Tester: We are always in need of game testers to help us find bugs
- Documenter: We are in desperate need of people who can write documents on playing the game, to go along with the tutorial
- Translators: We are also always in need of people who can translate the in game texts to new languages. Many of our translations are growing old because new text has come up that needs to be translated, but we haven't had translators to do it.
- Players: The more Players the more fun in Globulation 2 online games.
The first steps would be to have a look on the forums, join the development Mailing list, drop into the developers' IRC channel (#glob2-dev on irc.globulation2.org) and look around this site.

Website News
- 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.
- 22.04.2007 - Globulation 2 has moved its source code from CVS to Mercurial. Please learn about and commit to Mercurial from now on. The wiki has been update to reflect these changes. The last things to do are change trasnlated pages (page in a language other than English), and the bot that updates the Team page when the AUTHORS files is changed.
