MegaGlest is an open source, totally free and multiplatform 3D real-time strategy (RTS) game where the player controls the armies of one of seven different factions, including Tech, Magic, Egyptians, Indians, Norsemen, Persian or Romans.

The game was created back in 2010 and it is heavily based on the well known Glest engine, from which it was forked. It is now deployed on a wide range of GNU/Linux distributions, replacing Glest.

Note

The Windows installer originally released as v3.11.0 actually contained an incompatible pre-release build (for a previous version). We have therefore removed this file and now provide MegaGlest-Installer-3.11.0.b2_i386_win32.exe which contains the correct release build. Checksums (and signatures) have been added. Apologies.
