About this resource

Original gw_1996.tgz, containing God Wars source, world data and build/support files. The archive filename is not proof of an exact release date; retain the original document dates and wording.

License and attribution
Includes God Wars, Merc and DikuMUD notices. Preserve required help entries and login credits. Its bundled God Wars wording differs from the March 1998 express-permission notice in Dystopia; do not substitute one for the other.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Historical, uncompiled and unexecuted in this review; no malware-free or modern-platform compatibility claim.

Historical uncompiled source and world formats. Review scripts, server defaults, runtime data and save/area compatibility before use. No malware-free assurance.

Filename says 1996 while license.gw labels itself October 1995 and contains later copyright years. Preserve this discrepancy instead of inventing a release date.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.

Attribution stays with the work.
