ZetaGlest is a fork of MegaGlest, a libre software cross platform real-time strategy game.
ZetaGlest is a network multi-player real-time strategy game engine. It's shipped with the ZetaPack mod, which 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, Indian 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.

Why this fork? (Project Goals)
Because we love MegaGlest! We wanted to take the project into a slightly different direction, and therefore we forked MegaGlest into the ZetaGlest project.
