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.
September 2008: release of 0.0.4beta. The major change is that the game now runs on both GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. Other ports for platforms such as *BSD or Mac OS/X are very likely to be technically possible, provided all requirements are installed, however this has not been tested. The game has been released in a temporary state which only allows map loading. The motivation was to allow map designers jailed on Microsoft proprietary systems to draw maps without the hassle of trying maps on Liquid War 5 or relying on the mere hope that it would hopefully work, some day.
