When the flow of wares becomes too much for the carriers, one can breed oxen for use as pack animals. I like building my empire more than I like fighting the other players, so it suits me fine that the game emphasizes construction over battles. It feels nice to construct an efficient system of factories. In the game I played while writing this post, I ran out of wood in the beginning and then all construction projects ground to a halt. I had a small border battle with my green neighbor, but that war fizzled out when we both ran out of fighters. Then I lost some time before constructing an axe factory, since I believed it required a master blacksmith (which it doesn't). Another thing that caused trouble is that upgrading a building wastes all resources in it. (To save them, one has to order the stores to be emptied before upgrading. This problem is discussed on the bug tracker.) My greedy neighbors left me alone for quite some time even though my defenses were very thin, but eventually they defeated me by burning down my head quarter and storage. There is a bit of a learning curve for this game, it takes time to find out how the wares should flow between the different buildings. There is some in-game help, in the form of a tutorial game and a list of all wares and how they are produced. Because of it, the game is locally known as the meeh-meeh game. In all other respects, a great game! There is a multiplayer mode which I have not tried, but it sounds like great fun.
If you feel brave, try out the development version. The current development version, in preparation of release 18, still has some rough edges, but also notable improvements over the last stable release (17). The graphics is nicer and the colors have improved a lot. They were very saturated before, but are calmer now.Widelands has single-player, local network and internet multiplayer modes, single-player campaign missions, and an internationalisation system with translations for British English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Low German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish. Players may select one of four different tribes: the human-like "Empire", the " Barbarians", the " Atlanteans", and the " Frisians". The game provides four basic tutorials and four tutorial campaigns. Advanced players can create their own maps with the included map editor. It is also possible to import and play original Settlers II maps. The first version of Widelands was published in August 2002. Widelands 1.0, the first stable version, was released 19 years later in June 2021. ag/post/ 21083720029/ gcc-4-7- patchathonThe game was reviewed by Linux Journal which noted:ĭelve into this game, and there's much that lies beneath the surface.
WIDELANDS BUILDINGS HOW TO
If we end up not including a fix, we should probably include instructions for how to fix widelands for gcc 4.7 in a section for maintainers in the release notes or something. However, the alternative is likely that widelands at some point will break in the development version of all distros and the maintainers will spend time tracking it down and patching it. That said, I am still not sure whether including unistd.h could have any side effects, so if c++ people who actually knows this wants to wait, then I'm ok with that. Patching of various packages in Debian has started already.
WIDELANDS BUILDINGS UPGRADE
Gcc 4.7 is already in Arch, and I assume other distros will upgrade shortly (definitely before build 18 is out at least). While not critical, I'd prefer to see this fixed before build 17 is released. I've since been able to track down the following quote from the changelog : "Avoid polluting the global namespace and do not include.
