WideLands - Open source freeware remake of Settlers II

[Neil79]

Widelands is an open source (GPLed) real-time strategy game. It is built upon the SDL and other open source libraries and is (and will always be) under heavy development. If you knew Settlers I & II™ (© Bluebyte), then you already have a rough idea what Widelands is all about because widelands is heavily inspired by those two games.

• 
  Completed barbarian workers
• 
  Atlantean worker animation
• 
  Conquering of enemy militarysites 1
• 
  Conquering of enemy militarysites 2

We now offer a build candidate for the upcoming build 16 release! The idea of build candidates is to test drive a release and see if it is good enough to become a stable release to the public. So download the version for your operating system and start playing:

• a new scripting Engine that allows for complex scenarios.
• a new watch-me-do tutorial and a new scenario for the Atlanteans
• win conditions for multiplayer games which add variety
• open gl renderer
• improvements to the ui in many places
• more control over which wares are stored in ware houses
• team support in multiplayer
• shared kingdom for multiplayer, more than one player can control the same kingdom
• new maps
• new sounds
• extremely many new graphics and animations: there is no concept graphic in widelands anymore.

The full Changelog is here.
