Glest is a network multi-player real-time strategy game engine. It includes several factions, each one consisting of many 3d characters. The factions are loosely based on historical empires with added elements of fantasy, such as mummies produced by Egyptian priests, shamans who summon thunderbirds for air assaults, and Norsemen who can build flying valkries and "Thors". Start the game by harvesting natural resources, then use the cash to produce an army. Single-player mode against the CPU is also available.
Additionally, if you want to contribute with the code on Windows, please follow these instructions.
