Widelands
Widelands is an economic and military simulation game aiming
for gameplay similar to Settlers II by BlueByte.
In this game, you start out on a small piece of land with
nothing more than a few of useful resources. Using those, you can build
yourself an
empire with many thousands of inhabitants. On your way towards this
goal, you will have to build up an economic infrastructure, explore the
lands
around you and face enemies who are trying to rule the world just like
you do.
The map is shown in parallel perspective with 3-dimensional
terrain.
Buildings and units are animated. Realtime strategy game with emphasis
on economy and transport
Like in warcraft-like games, you are the despot of an empire
and want to harvest resources and get soldiers to get more power.
Unlike those games, this is a strategic game, not a tactic
one, and the emphasis is not on war but on building your economy and
the network
of roads over which all wares need to be transported.
The game is set in a fantasy world, somewhere between the
Middle Ages and the Roman Empire.
