AppImages now available for current development snapshots
AppImages are now available for current development snapshots. They don't contain the data, so you'll have to clone the data repository, then put the MegaGlest AppImage in the data root directory.

Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around.

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

Game Engine Development.
The other thing is that if you're going to make an engine focused on rts games, you should probably study an existing RTS-focused engine. For example, here's the source code for Spring. Learn what it does, why, and how. You might decide this is good enough for what you want to do. You might decide this is pretty close, and you'll only want to extend it rather than start from scratch. You might decide to still start from scratch, but at least you learned something about requirements/ methods/ etc.

Looking for a RTS game like Zero-K
Pretty much any game on the Spring Engine (which Zero-K is on) will work on Linux.

Miscellaneous Questions Regarding 3D from a Prospective User (maximum nodes, 3D vs Unity, etc)
That said, having that many units will be very challenging in pretty much any general purpose engine and you may want to consider an engine built specifically for RTS games. A quick search found the spring RTS engine: https://springrts.com/

What video game do you consider a masterpiece?
Total Annihilation RTS. Really impressive for the hardware at the time, moddable, and super fun. The community has made SpringRTS and Beyond all Reason and last I heard Cavdog was essentially sold ~4 times and the original source code was lost. I still find the intro impressive considering it was released in 1997.
