Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

On a related, is there a list of good open source strategy games? I'm especially interested in grand strategy.

0AD is FOSS Age of Empires, yeah?

In the same spirit, yeah. It has a pretty active community from what I've heard.

I'm not sure if it's a grand strategy game, but Freeciv is similar to older Civ games.

That being said, Beyond All Reason (BAR) and Zero-k are Total Annihilation inspired and have a lot of work put in them. Definitely worth a try!
