Table of Contents

Introduction

Liquid War 6 is a unique multiplayer wargame. Your army is a blob of liquid and you have to try and eat your opponents. Rules are very simple yet original, they have been invented by Thomas Colcombet. It is possible to play alone against the computer but the game is really designed to be played with friends, on a single computer, on a LAN, or on Internet.

See also Liquid War 6 on Savannah.

An older version: Liquid War 5, is available, but is not part of the GNU Project. Only Liquid War 6 is part of the GNU Project, it is a complete rewrite.

Latest news

January 2009: release of 0.0.6beta. This release has a remarquable new feature, which is a good example of what was perfectly not doable with old Liquid War 5. Indeed, maps can now have several layers, that is, players can move on different levels. This allows construction of tunnels and bridges, for instance. Additionnally, Debian .deb and RedHat .rpm packages are now available again, along with a self-installable MS-Windows .exe binary. As usual, this release comes with its load of bug-fixes.
