 You are missing $OpenBSD$ from the top and '' from MAINTAINER.

Thanks, I'll add this.

 Do you have any reason for using multiple packages?

The main subpackage is the game - it is what avarage LordsAWar! player exect
to get on installing package. The other subpackages are needed for a small
subset of game users.

I thought that splitting software into subpackages is generally preferable. If
not, I can just leave the single package equivalent to -main.

I have played a bit with this on i386, starting it from an xterm,
and i noticed lots of library error messages on the console.
Also, i experienced various crashes (typically segfaults).
Some of the menu entries do not work at all, but crash right away.
Still, the game is playable from start to end if you avoid clicks
on broken buttons.

However, to my shame, i must admit that i played it more for
distraction (in so far, thanks for providing the port, it is
by far not the best turn-best strategy game i have seen, but
it's probably worth a port) than seriously hunting down issues,
so i cannot provide any useful feedback right now.  Maybe my
only excuse is that it is a game.  ;-/

In case you are willing to actively maintain the port, help in
hunting down some issues and reporting them upstream, i'd be
in favour of getting it in quickly, then fixing it in tree.
In case you don't consider it worth some real work, i'm not
so sure about it.

In any case, listen to advice from real porters as well,
if any of them care to comment.

In case i feel the itch to play another round of the game, i'll
pay a bit more attention and provide feedback to you directly
in personal mail.

Thanks,
  Ingo
