What is it?

Liquid War is a freeware multiplayer wargame. Its rules are quite different from many wargames, so it may be a little hard at first to understand how it works, but I honestly think it is worth trying it. The actual release is a DOS program, but I've not had any big problems running it under Windows.

How to get it?

Liquid War 5 is avalaible Here. It is a freeware game, this means you can use it and copy it without paying anything. I would even say that I encourourage you to distribute it by giving it to your friends, putting it on shareware CDs, or proposing it to any web site which could become a mirror site.

Authors

The idea of the game and its basic algorithms have been invented by Thom-Thom, a friend of mine. I (U-Foot) did the programming job, and my personal computer should be the only place in the world where the 640Kb of source code can be found. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question or remark about the game. My E-mail is ufoot@mygale.org.

Work in progress

There should be soon a 5.01 release of Liquid War, where I will change a few things my friends told me about, but nothing very important.

There is currently no network support in Liquid War 5.0, but I conceived the game so that it should be easy to add it. I did not include network support in the first release of Liquid War 5 for I developped the game this summer (98) on an isolated computer, and was unable to test anything.

I heard that Thom-Thom is working (hard?) on Liquid War 6. This version should run on UNIX machines.
