       | Had to edit a major part of my comment, since I was pointing to
       | the wrong branch: The last stable release 3.13 is 7 years old,
       | but there is some activity going on, as can be seen here:

       | others. So save yrself the effort.

       | I remember when this was first announced and they were in a super
       | alpha stage but making progress. If I remember right their team
       | also got research/indie funding. For awhile it seemed to be ahead
       | of 0AD which was using some weird JavaScript interpreter thing
       | for its scripting. Gives me shudders thinking about it when I
       | read the code for the first time.

       | The early 3D RTS years of Dark Reign, Earth 2015, eventually
       | Warcraft 3 really lit a fire under peoples asses to try to make
       | their own. It was magic to see, but the fire has unanimously died
       | down with the genre.
