Hi, I don't know anything about games, but I would like to
download sources of a good one in order to have a little
fun between two pieces of work. Here is what I want:
  - unix freeware/GNU/GPL etc.
  - a text/ascii or better ncurses based game;
    don't ask me why; I like working in terminal mode ;-)
  - I'm not against the oldies (in fact I am really not at all
    against them ;-)
  - a real-time game
    I looked around this W-E and found that a game called
    "conquest" sounded great; but I compiled it and found it
    isn't fun to play this game when you are alone. Anyway a game
    like "conquest" is what I want.
  - Since I will play alone, I want either a game that you can
    play alone or a game that you can play on the net
    (by the way can you play conquest against people on the
    net?)
    
Sources shouldn't be too big (1 Mo max would be nice)

Another question (completely separate):
I have no idea if such a game does exist, but are there games
(ncurses ;-) against other people that you can play off-line
(probably turn-based games); I mean that you could when connected
download the state of the game, then think about it off-line,
give orders to your troups or whatever, connect again to the net
and give your orders to the server once a day?

I am really sorry to crosspost; it isn't an habit; in fact it
is the first time I do that, but I really didn't know what was
the right group to do it. Please, if your groups aren't the good ones,
tell me and tell me where to post, I'll do it.
