Seeing as we are no longer posting games every day of the week I though it was time to change the name of the projects title to Free games project. It has a better ring to it than Free games for the weekdays, especially as I'm posting games at the weekend as well. Plus it will give me a little more room to add essential info to the main title if necessary.
The following game called globulation 2 is an on-going development project, so if you like the game it will be a good idea to check back to the games developers site to see if there have been any new updates.
I've tested the game on XP (Pro) and Win 7 (Ultimate) and it works on both platforms. I need to reinstall my Vista Os so can't cofirm whether it will work on thaty platform.

Globulation 2 is an innovative Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game which reduces micro-management by automatically assigning tasks to units. Take a look at the screenshots or just download and try it right now. Globulation 2 is Free Software, licensed and distributed under the GNU General Public License.
In Globulation 2 the player has to select how many units he wants to assign to several tasks and the game automatically takes care of the rest. The purpose is to leave the most boring errands to the AI and focus on what matters – strategy. Included is a map editor and the possibility to play against the computer, other human teams or even with a mix of the two.
The game brings a new type of game play to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management. Globulation 2 also features AI, allowing single-player games or any possible combination of human-computer teams. The game also includes a scripting language for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated map editor. You can play Globulation 2 in single player mode, through your local network, or over the Internet with Ysagoon Online Gaming (or YOG for short).
