Hello the Dwarf Fortress Community!
I hope you don't mind if I announce a new open source ncurses game for Linux. It is a quite simple Real Time Strategy game. I hope, it can be interesting for you.
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.
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.

Two screenshots and a short animated gif:
Read
Wiki or
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 $ ./curseofwar -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
