Glest is a fully customizable 3D freeware RTS game.

-ENGINE Modify everythingXML definitions. Every single unit, building, upgrade, faction, resource and all their properties and commands are defined in XML files. Just by creating or modifying the right folder structure and a bunch of XML files, the game can be completely modded, and entire new factions or tech trees can be created.
-G3D models. Glest uses its own 3D format for unit models and animations. We provide a plugin to export from 3DSMax, but tools for Blender are also available.
-Map editor. A simple and easy to use map editor is also available to the public.

TechnologyStandard C++. All the code is standard C++, and has been written with portability in mind, so it can be compiled using either GCC or VS.NET.
OpenGL. Glest uses the cross platform OpenGL API to render 3D graphics. It uses the fixed pipeline, so only version 1.3 and a few extensions are required.
DirectSound/OpenAL. The game can play static and streaming sounds using ogg and wav files.
A.I. Human players can test their skills against challenging AI controlled opponnents. Glest uses the A* pathfinding algorithm and other well known AI techniques.

System RequirementsWindows or Linux.
Pentium 4 / Athlon processor.
OpenGL 1.3 compatible video card and drivers (ie: geforce, radeon).
DirectX9/OpenAL compatible sound card and drivers.
