NAME¶
netPanzer - an online multiplayer tactical warfare game
SYNTAX¶
netpanzer [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
This program is a free (GPL) isometric view real-time tactical game designed for
play across the Internet and over LAN systems. One on one games are possible
via direct connect or modem.
netPanzer is designed for FAST ACTION combat -- it is not another resource
management clone. In fact, there aren't any resources at all. Each player will
have many units of different types at their disposal. Players can fight until
their units are destroyed -- then respawn and keep on going.
The game is real-time, but it's based on quick tactical action and unit
management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact, they never let
up. There is no stop in the action because there is no waiting for resources
to be collected and converted into weaponry. Players can join or leave
multiplayer games at any time.
