The game

You manage the colony’s priorities.

Globulation 2 is a real-time strategy game built around indirect control. You request work and choose where it happens, while individual globs handle movement, meals and other needs.

The first tutorial colony: an inn on the left and a red swarm beside it. The selected inn’s panel shows three workers and a full wheat supply.

Buildings and flags are your orders

Select a building to change how many workers it requests. Place a clearing, exploration or war flag to request activity at a location. You manage these demands rather than moving each glob through every step.

Watch the response before adding more requests. Workers may be carrying materials, eating or healing; a busy colony cannot do every job at once.

Compete with rival colonies

In conquest, win by defeating every opposing colony. Games can also use prestige victory, and campaigns can set their own objectives. Check the chosen rules and the scenario instructions before planning your match.

A military push depends on more than its warriors. Food, training, recovery and the routes through your settlement determine how well the colony supports it.

Food and training compete for time

Inns turn wheat deliveries into meals. Swarms produce new globs, adding both working capacity and more mouths to feed. A growing population needs a food supply that can keep up.

Schools, racetracks, swimming pools and barracks provide different kinds of training. Hospitals provide care. Keep services reachable, and check the match rules: custom games can change hunger, training and resource regrowth.

Choose a way to play

The tutorial introduces the basics before buildings, training and flags. Campaigns offer scenarios; custom games let you choose a map, computer opponents and rules. Use the editor to create a map.

For multiplayer, choose Play online in the game. The online app links to leaderboards, player records, matches and maps. Browser play is in early access; check the app for the options currently available.

Three kinds of glob

Workers

Carry resources and supply construction and buildings. Their availability connects the economy to every new project.

Explorers

Respond to exploration flags and reveal more of the map, giving you information for the next decision.

Warriors

Fight opposing colonies and respond to war flags. Training and access to food and care support their work.
