| Summary : General turn-based 2D strategy game system
|
Description :
Xconq is a general strategy game system. It is a complete system that
includes all the components: a portable engine, graphical interfaces
for Unix/Linux/X11, Macintosh, and Windows, multiple AIs, networking
for multi-player games, and an extensive game library.
In addition to Xconq\'s \"standard\" game, which is similar to the
classic Empire/Empire Deluxe games of years ago, the game library
includes games for ancient civilizations, the Peloponnesian War, the
Roman Civil War, Frederician strategy, Napoleonic strategy, Gettysburg
at a brigade scale, the Russian revolution, the Normandy invasion,
WWII at scales from tactical to grand strategic, Beirut street
fighting, voyages of discovery, African exploration, and many others,
including space and fantasy games.
As befits its emphasis on strategy, Xconq\'s forte is turn-based play
using overhead or isometric views of a tiled world. The world is
basically two-dimensional, although varying elevations are available
for games that need elevation effects or line-of-sight. Xconq is
especially interesting for games about unusual or lesser-known strategic
situations; it is unique in providing a single system for modelling
the conflicts and strategies of any period in history.
