I have had a bast playing the old Command & Conquer games with my friends every now and again, and thought to see if there would be interest among others.

BRIEFING:

What is OpenRA?

OpenRA is an open source port of the classic Westwood games; Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer Red Alert and Dune 2000, they are all RTS games, quite simple and fun to play.

Does it cost money?

No, you can donate to the project, but OpenRA is completely free, and can be downloaded at openra.net

What is an RTS game?

How does the game work:

You command your military forces to crush the opposition, you build bases, gather resources and produce combat units to accomplish the crushing.

What game modes are there?

You can fight against each other or you can fight together against one or more computer players.

Ok, this sounds interesting, what is the general idea?

I prefer coop against a strong alliance of Computer players, it is slower and allows people to assist eachother, I am up for either to be honest.

We would be on voice chat, either through discord or another system.

What is the skills required?

I play for fun, not hyper competition, I rather have fun loosing chaotically, than be hyper focused on winning, that being said you should play the first 5-6 maps in the respective game to get a feel for the game.


So, what do yo think, would this be fun?
