Globulation 2 – innovative Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game

Globulation 2 is an innovative Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game which reduces micro-management by automatically assigning tasks to units. The player just has to order the number of units he wants for a selected task and the units will do their best to satisfy his requirements.

The objective is to wipe out your opponents’ populations. This can be done by attacking and killing the enemy units, by converting them to your team if you can offer a greater comfort, or by starving them to death if you destroy their resources. To be stronger than your opponent you must first create a lot of new globules while taking care about them to survive.

Globulation 2 can be played by a single player, through a Local Area Network (LAN), or via Internet, thanks to the Ysagoon Online Game (YOG), a meta-server. The game also features Artificial Intelligence for playing against computer teams, a scripting language for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated map editor.

Features include:

  • Original graphics and gameplay.
  • Swimming ability of glob workers.
  • Advanced Artificial Intelligence of units.
  • Level editor.
  • Network play.
  • Internationalization support – the game is translated in 12 languages.

System requirements:

  • CPU: 500MHz processor.
  • Hard disk: About 100MB of free disk space.
  • Free RAM: 128MB of RAM.
  • Graphics card with openGL hardware acceleration activated.
