Liquid War is a unique multiplayer wargame. Liquid War rules are truely original and have been invented by Thomas Colcombet.

You control an army of liquid and have to try and eat your opponents. A single player mode is available, but the game is definitely designed to be multiplayer, and has network support.

It has been ranked "most original Linux Game" by the Linux Game Tome in 2002. It and has also been nominated in the games category at the internationnal free software contest "Les troph?es du libre" in 2003. And I was pleased to hear that Liquid War has been distributed on CD-ROM by a fair number of magazines (essentially in Germany).

Liquid War is available for DOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and uses Allegro. It is distributed as free software (free speech, not beer), under the terms of the GNU General Public License ( GPL ).

What's New in This Release:
Joystick support has hopefully been fixed.
It had been missing for several years due to dead and untouched broken code.
Other minor bugs have also been fixed.
As usual, the game comes with still more new maps.
One notable change is that it now uses Allegro 4.2.0.
RPM packages have not been generated yet.
