@gbryant @gardiner_bryant also, I'm still a bit cautious regarding the C&C licenses of #EA's recent "OpenSourceing". Like the "To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game." here: github.com/electronicarts/CnC_
Or the extra clauses in the LICENSE.md. Both might be #GPL incompatible? Also for both this C&C release and #OpenRA assets are not freely licensed.
In contrast, for #Warzone2100, #0ad and #7kaa are fully freely licensed. So I can directly install them on Debian.

@gbryant @gardiner_bryant the loyalty system in #7kaa needs some getting used to, otherwise you'll be surprised why your own peasants and knights start to attack you after 20min :D. But it also makes it pretty unique.
Friends of mine are big fans of #0ad. Great soundtrack + graphics, big variety of peoples to try. But is also more resource hungry. #Warzone2100 was probably pretty resource optimized back then already, as it had to run on the PlayStation 1, too. And now allows huge battles.

@gbryant @gardiner_bryant as you asked for other #OpenSource games: #Warzone2100, #0ad and #7kaa - all fully freely licensed, including assets. I think wz + 7kaa could be particularly interesting for a vid bc. of their history. When we got our first family PC I also got a games collection, which had both the original C&C and 7kaa. So I got super excited when I discovered a few years ago that 7kaa got opensourced. Gameplay-wise wz is my fav. though, love the huge tech-tree.

My pull request:
https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7556
My random idea that could be shortsighted:
Mouse grabbing, like borderless fullscreen mode and tabs, should be handled by the window manager or desktop environment instead of the application.
(Are Windows gamers still stuck with using Borderless Gaming to get borderless fullscreen mode?)

The Anušiya, or Persian Immortal, guards the life and honor of the Great King, the Shah-an-Shah, of the Achaemenid Empire. They are the heaviest infantry of the Persian army and are trained from the Taçara, aka Winter Palace.
