-"Tremulous is a free, open source game that blends a team based FPS with elements of an RTS. Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions,
the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more..

-Tremulous (and the standalone server)
is available as an ubuntu package, but I would suggest replacing
the standard tremulous binary with [TJW's backport|http://tremulous
.tjw.org/backport/] which adds some significant new features

-BruceKingsbury has recently started two Tremulous game servers in Hamilton. More information available at
http://tremulous.zcat.geek.nz/, and some of the regular players in New Zealand and Australia have formed a '
clan'
named [Sudden Dretch|http://z11.invisionfree.com/sudden_dretch]. The name is a combination of the alien's lowest attacking class, the '
dretch'
, and a point in the game ('
sudden death'
, usually after 30 minutes) where nobody is allowed to build in order to push the game to a conclusion.
