This is a small game I have written for Linux in C + ncurses UI. When I started, I thought that a strategy game made with ncurses is a relatively original but funny thing. Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with the result now. Gomez

About:

Unlike most RTS, you are not controlling units, but focus on high-level strategic planning: Building infrastructure, securing resources, and moving your armies.

The core game mechanics turns out to be quite close to WWI-WWII type of warfare, however, there is no explicit reference to any historical period.

Download here:
Source code: [Github] [zip]. Arch Linux: [AUR package].
  
Update, May 31, 2013:
Watch a short "How to play" video (I'm not the best speaker to say the least Big Laff):


Two screenshots and a short animated gif:

Read full README

It is better to read the readme, but briefly:

1) Cities ("W#W", "i=i", and " n ") increase your country's population
2) Gold mines ("/$\") give your gold, which is used to build new cities.
3) Put flags on the map to move your army. Press space to add and remove flags.
4) You play as a ruler of the green kingdom.
5) Enemies have different personality and different approach to control their armies
6) Game conditions can be adjusted with command line arguments, see $ ./main -h

Controls:

  Arrow keys and H, J, K, L are for moving the cursor
  R or V   build village -> town -> castle
  Space    add/remove a flag
  X        remove all your flags
  C        remove a half of your flags

Source code: [Github] [zip]

Arch Linux: [AUR package]

Added a youtube video Blink in the first post.

From now on, the project is called "Curse of War", and it's now distributed under GPL3 license.

Also made a few improvements to the game mechanics.

Update:
If you are using Arch Linux, now you can install the game as an AUR package!
The Makefile is slightly updated too.
