Open War?

[NikNaks]

Anybody here know of a free/open source Total War? I feel like it'd be doable (maybe not the realtime battling initially) so I was wondering if anything existed? Would anyone contribute to one?

I don't think so. 3D engines are very hard to make with freeware. The only modern freeware 3D engine I can think of is the indefinetly on-hold engine for Star Trek: Excalibur.

There's a thing called "JMonkey" that someone is using to make the right kind of thing that seems pretty cool. He's done plenty of groundwork getting it to look like TW but he wants some help with mechanics and grunt work.

Moderator Action: Lets not make this just an ad thread for your links. Is there something to discuss?

 

[NikNaks]

I was really hoping someone might have links to something further on, but it looks a bit fruitless. :/ Never mind!

The only link I could find via Google was a couple of years old.

There's tons of free 3D engines on the 'net.
