[Widelands-announce] Widelands build-12 released!

[Nicolai H. <pr...@up...>]

The Widelands Development Team is proud to announce the immediate
availability of build-12 of Widelands. Widelands is a Free, cross-platform
strategy game in which players control the fate of a small tribe that can
grow into a big empire, in a style of play that is unique in the open source
world.
Please visit our homepage, http://www.widelands.org/ , to learn more.

Some of the highlights of build-12 are:
 - fully working multiplayer games
 - improved animations and graphics
 - a first glimpse of the third tribe, the Atlantids
As usual, there have been many more improvements to the usability and
performance, as well as numerous gameplay improvements and bugfixes.

Widelands uses SDL as graphics and input library and is currently available
for Linux/x86, Windows (32-bit), Mac OS X, and in source code. Both binary
and source packages are available from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40163

Simply download the binary package for your operating system and run the
widelands executable! If your operating system is not supported, download a
source package and try to compile it for yourself. See the homepage for the
libraries you need to have installed.

If you like what you see, please visit our homepage,

You may also want to check the forums and our IRC channel, #widelands on

contribute by helping us find bugs. If you want to take part even more in the
