Stratagus, Wargus and Stargus

Has anyone looked at possibly updating the OS4 versions of these?

This would be great. I've played Warcraft 2 (Wargus) until the point where game crashes around 6 or 7th level after I tried upgrading archers. I can't recall the name of the building, but the upgrade was introduced for the first time in the campaign level. As soon as the upgrade is completed, the game will crash. I was able to find discussion regarding the bug in the Wargus version, couple of years ago and it appears it was fixed in the next version. Not sure if anyone is able to upgrade AOS4.1 Wargus to newer version, but it would be appreciated.

You can play warcraft2 in basilisk II.

Thanks for your reply, you are right! I was just looking for Amiga native gaming experience and Wargus/Stratagus was good until the crashing moment.

This might be a wild stab in the dark, but how hard would it be to port Augustus for Caesar 3 (https://github.com/Keriew/augustus)? Playing this on Linux and is so much fun, stable and almost bug free experience comparing to original Sierra release. Just a thought.

@levellord

Requirements look reasonable:

All released platforms were little endian, so there might be some usual issues with game data loading.

It was already ported to MorphOS so it should be even easier
