(64bit supported)
Tested: Ubuntu 7.10 64bit - Gnome

A turn-based strategy game where up to 8 players strive for control of as many cities as possible. Produce new armies in cities to conquer nearby cities. Using the income from those cities, make more armies to take more cities. Send a hero to a temple to get a quest, or maybe search a nearby ruin instead. Play with others or against the computer.

The abandoned freelords C++ codebase has been used as a starting point.
