Build a thriving colony in contested territory. Globulation 2 is a real-time strategy game where food, workers and space shape your expansion. Grow a sprawling colony, balance its competing needs, and contend with rivals for land and resources. Your creatures act autonomously, letting you guide the colony as a whole. Grow an economy that can sustain your ambitions. Food, construction and training compete for your workforce. Decide where workers are needed and balance new ambitions with the needs of the colony you already have. Make the map part of your strategy. Different maps call for different strategies. Adapt your expansion to the terrain, choose what to defend, and find the routes and resources your colony needs. Defend what you've built. Your economy supports both growth and defense. Balance the needs of your colony while rivals compete for land and resources, and prepare for conflicts that can decide the match. Globulation 2 is free and open source. ### Package name * globulation2 --- ### License * GPL-3.0-or-later --- ### Last updated * 11 October 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [glob2.online](https://glob2.online/ "https://glob2.online/") --- ### Source code * [github.com/Globulation2/glob2](https://github.com/Globulation2/glob2 "https://github.com/Globulation2/glob2") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/Globulation2/glob2/issues](https://github.com/Globulation2/glob2/issues "https://github.com/Globulation2/glob2/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/globulation2/arch#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about globulation2 ›](https://snapcraft.io/globulation2) ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Globulation 2 Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Globulation 2 To install Globulation 2, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install globulation2 ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
