MegaGlest Team | Released Feb 28, 2010
MegaGlest is an open source 3D-real-time strategy game, where you control the armies of one of seven different factions: Tech, Magic, Egyptians, Indians, Norsemen, Persian or Romans. The game is setup in one of 14 naturally looking settings, which are crafted with great appreciation for detail. Additional game data can be downloaded from within the game at no cost.
Gameplay
A game of MegaGlest takes place on a map of varying size, such as large plains and fields, with terrain features like rivers, mountains, seas, or cliffs. Players must establish settlements to gain resources, defend against other players, and train units to explore the map and attack enemies. Different resources have to be gathered by every faction. This can be energy, food, gold, housing, stone and wood. Choose a faction and create its different units and buildings while developing your factions' unique abilities over the course of the game. Strategy matters though, so chose wisely when deciding which units to use if you want a chance to win.
Platforms
While the game is officially supported on Linux and Windows, community contributed builds exist for Mac OS X and FreeBSD. Up to eight players fight in multi-player games (over Internet or LAN) across all supported platforms and against the various difficulty levels of AI players.
History
MegaGlest is heavily based on the widely known Glest, which it forked from in early 2010. Like its predecessor, MegaGlest is available under liberal licensing terms and can be downloaded free of charge.

GAMEPLAY
During the game, each player picks one of seven factions (Magic, Tech, Indian, Persian, Norsemen, Egyptians, Romans), makes workers harvest resources and build a settlement, explores new technologies and conquers one of more than 30 maps.
For new players, three tutorials provide a solid introduction to this colorful and atmospheric game, which, besides background music, ambient sounds and sound effects also comes with weather and daytime effects. MegaGlest provides support for up to eight networked (Internet or LAN) or AI controlled players. Internet games can be published and tracked on a master server. Additional game mods can be installed for free from an in-game menu. The game is available in English and currently eight other languages. Advanced players can extend the game using a map and model editor, and can add maps, tilesets, scenarios, tutorials and factions.
REQUIREMENTS
MegaGlest runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, OS X and several other platforms (such as AROS). Ubuntu 8.04 to 11.10 (i686 and x86_64), Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 and Windows XP to 7 (32 and 64 bit) have been tested successfully. To play, a video card supporting OpenGL 1.4 and suitable drivers, a sound chip providing OpenAL support and suitable drivers, a modern x86 CPU with 1.5 GHz clock speed or better, 1.0 GB RAM, 1 GB free hard disk space and, to play online, a broadband Internet connection with low or medium latency, are required.
HISTORY
In early 2010, this Free Software / open source game was forked off Glest, whose development ceased in early 2008. MegaGlest's development continues under new project lead of the MegaGlest Team, consisting ofTiti_Linux, Softcoder, TomReyn and many other contributors. An in-depth discussion of MegaGlests' history is available in the September 2011 OSArena interview by Bill Toulas.

Hi ExtremeTaco, thanks for trying megaglest. What's the exact problem or error though? We need at least a screenshot of it.
Also please post your problem at the megaglest forum: Glest.org
Thanks.
Just played a 4 player vs. 4 NPC match yesterday, The bases are crowded when you get all of your buildings set up and have people moving around.
Also others start building and sending people through your area as well which just makes it even more crowded.
Also I started getting some low ammounts of lag when alot of units were on my screen, that makes no sense as my computer easily handles this game.
Going to have to try, liked the original glest.
Defiantly Megaglest has much new particle effects, much more stable multi-player, dedicated server, and even an in game mod download feature! Its a large improvement over standard Glest!
