This, so much.

The only problem: Last time I checked they felt for the 2 tier game engine meme and wrote the bots in JS, causing them to hang from time to time and to rewrite them over and over.

It's fun but I get frustrated so much because when I jump there's always a "gliding" or momentum that makes it really hard to predict where you'll fall.

The "gliding" or "sliding" is also present when you walk, which is understandable because it's ice.

I have tried it a lot and the AI is really predictable.
Depending on the resources and the maximum number of units you set for the game, you can easily defend against them long enough to build an army that they cannot defeat.
The very hard setting means they get a lot more resources than you can, so obviously they become a challenge, but since they don't change tactics based on nation, they are too easy to beat

Sim City has been released as open source but rebranded as Micropolis to protect the Sim City brand. Lincity is a similar game but with different game mechanics. It's really good actually.

OpenMorrow or something like that i forget what it's called has surpassed the original morrowind engine
>>
>>54608679
yea, openMW (morrowind). Looks to be working pretty well considering the version, I think I'll try it out today.
You need the files from Morrowind, which you can now buy on GOG without DRM, so that's a plus as well

>>54607449
This is why you never make anything even remotely similar to well established IP.

Website says it's available for Windows, Linux and Mac. You need the original RCT2 but it's not really difficult to find a torrent for it.

Mfw used to be a dev for this game. It was ok I guess but I got bored. It's sadly stagnating and dying with a majority of the cool people leaving and add-ons getting progressively shittier.

I haven't actually played it but my understanding is that OpenRCT runs natively on Linux, you just need to extract the game files from the original game.
>>
>>54600253
No it's not. It's an incredibly tedious game that revolves around getting a set of specific items in order to have any reasonable chance at winning. The entire mid and end game is a giant tedious mess.

It's dead. A successor/total conversion called TSC with complete own IP is in the makings, but since the code base turned out to be unsustainable, it's up to a complete rewrite and that may take some years.

Do Quake and Doom count as free software because they're under the GPL, or not because they use proprietary assets?
>>
>>54597260
Only problem is not that many people log into the lobby for multiplayer :'(. Seems to lag with larger maps and alot of troupes.

I liked it more before they added that stupid capturing buildings & seige weapons dynamic to the game.
>>
>>54615738
Free software, but not free culture, and won't be found in a free distribution's repositories
>>
>>54615779
Explain!!
>>
>>54615830
Which part? The engine is freedoms-respecting while the art assets are not.

Free culture includes art under license which grants freedoms similar to the criteria for free software. Since these assets aren't freedoms-respecting, they're not free culture.

Free distributions won't have it in their repositories because of this fact. If the entire thing isn't freedoms-respecting, they can't distribute it.
