Bos Wars is a futuristic real time strategy game (RTS). In a RTS game, the
player has to combat his enemies while developing his war economy. Everything
runs in real-time, as opposed to turn-based games where the player always has to
wait for his turn. The trick is to balance the effort put into building his
economy and building an army to defend and attack the enemies.
Bos Wars has a dynamic rate based economy. Energy is produced by power plants
and magma gets pumped from hot spots. Buildings and mobile units are also built
at a continuous rate. Control of larger parts of the map creates the potential
to increase your economy throughput. Holding key points like roads and passages
allow for different strategies.
It is possible to play against human opponents over LAN, internet, or against
the computer. Bos Wars successfully runs under Linux, MS Windows, BSD, and Mac
OS X.
Bos Wars aims to create a completely original and fun open source RTS game.
