About
Glest is a free and open-source real-time strategy game from 2004, set in a medieval fantasy world, that was compared to Warcraft III and Empire Earth and spawned several derivative continuation projects. MegaGlest is a libre, cross-platform 3D real-time strategy game where players control the armies of one of seven factions (Tech, Magic, Egypt, Indians, Norsemen, Persian, or Romans) across 17 settings, with additional game data downloadable for free from within the game. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and is actively developed.
How it differs from the original
MegaGlest expands substantially on the original Glest, which had only two playable factions — this continuation offers seven factions across 17 different settings.
