Just remembered this gem after years. It's still free, still densely filled with wonder and things to discover, and still fun. I think my only problem with the ease of use is because I rarely play turn based strategy games, but this one hooked me in.

A very good game, editable and free!

Awesome project, I mainly was browsing games using a new Lubuntu setup and decided to see if I could compile the source. Without a non-integreated gpu the compilation seemed to run this smoothly as opposed to anything steam puts out, may vary depending on OS etc Though I did not play it past a single game (never was a RTS fan, though enjoy fantasy settings), project looks great.
