---from their page [start]--- Shadow Conflict is a 2D Multi-platform Real Time Strategy Game, employing specialized features such as way points, selectable unit AI, massive real-time visual effects, and a very diverse music sound-track. You play as your chosen race's military leader: you must gather resources, defend your home from opposing species, and wage war on your enemies using ever advancing technology. Shadow Conflict is powered by Project Inferno. ---from their page [end] it's currently just in CVS, but I think we could still use it :D
Shadow conflict looks like it has a lot of promise. However, since it's Gentoo policy not to add cvs live builds to portage without a compelling reason, I'm going to mark this bug as LATER until there's actually a release from the shadow conflict developers.
