MegaGlest is fully free, that is both in freedom and in price.
There are no 'free-to-play' restrictions, no ads, no catches at
all. We have a non-business model: Let's all enjoy ourselves by
having a fun time making and playing this game. To make this work,
you can easily contribute to and take part in MegaGlest:

If DIY is not for you, but you like the spirit and would still
like to support us, you are welcome to donate:

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 50 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.
