Hi ports --Attached is a new port, games/returntotheroots. Return to the Roots is an open source engine remake of The Settlers 2.
--- pkg/DESCR: Return To The Roots is a fan project which aims to renew the original The Settlers 2. We aim to create new features such as a multiplayer mode via the Internet as well as support for modern hardware. You will need an original copy of "The Settlers 2 Gold Edition" to play Return To The Roots. The Settlers 2 is a 4X game similar to Civilization and Alpha Centauri. ---This is taken from the head of upstream's development and rolled by me. Upstream claims that players normally use the head ("nightly builds") instead of the latest release, so it is probably best to go this route for multiplayer.
This requires a copy of The Settlers 2: Gold Edition. You can get it (on deep discount as of this writing) on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/the_settlers_2_gold_edition
Also, slightly off-topic, I sent a port of freeserf, the first game in The Settlers series, to ports@ some time ago and heard nothing back. Would be nice to get both games in.
Works on amd64. Got nothing else that this would have a chance on. OK? ~Brian
