XBattle is an old Unix Realtime Strategy Game. |

The general idea is that there is a map (usually made up of hexes or squares, but can be as weird as diamonds or octagons), with some cities (represented by circles). Cities produce troops at a fixed rate. If you click near the edge of a cell then the game will toggle on or off a spigot where troops will leave that cell and "flow" into the neighbouring cell. |

This has been rather popular amongst the [WAND] group recently, and so we have our own fork of the code which has some bugs fixed and a few extra features added. see http://source.meta.net.nz/svn/xbattle/ for our [SVN] tree. |

The game supports as many teams and as many people as you care to play for, it also has some rather good AI's. |

Don't use <tt>-ai x 1 y</tt>. It will deadlock the game. |
