A pretty fun little terminal game for when you're looking for something laid back and simple. Gameplay mainly revolves around amassing bigger and bigger armies to conquer increasingly stronger nations via text control similar to old text-based adventures. There's also arena betting and exploring the procedural wilderness (both done via text input, of course.)

Sound effects are passable for a one-man project, and the music fits the vibe (And you can always turn the music off if it's not to your liking.)

The procgen ASCII art here is impressive. It's hard to find two characters who look the exact same, and I've rarely had issues trying to figure out just what I was looking at.

I would highly recommend this game. It can be as casual or as involved as you'd like it to be, and as a bonus it runs pretty well on Linux (aside from the text constantly redrawing itself in the terminal window during animations, but that's easily overlooked).
