Hello do you guys know a free game to just chill with my friend.
I don't think there's much in terms of managerial/4x f2p games (afaik)...closest thing that comes to mind would be The Battle for Wesnoth which I wouldn't recommend for "turning off" your brain.

[PC][Before 2014] 2D Turn based strategy game like Fire Emblem
The Battle For Wesnoth? (Keep in mind it's been around since 2005, and had more simplistic graphics at one point - a random example.)

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/.

Lessons from Open-Source Game Projects
OpenXCOM - XCOM clone. C++, SDL2

XcomUtil
Love(ed) that game.
Always wonder where they get their "recruits", who seem to have trouble with aiming their weapons towards the enemy.
There's an open-source & cross platform remake of the engine. You still need the original game assets.
Easy to mod - he config files are YAML.

A littel guide for alien colony assaults in TFTD
(Before I say anything I just want to say that I've only played TFTD on beginner. I don't know if this works on the harder difficulties, but I feel like the strategy is relatively sound. Please don't take my word as gospel lol. Also, PLEASE USE OPENXCOM! It's a lifesaver.)

Is the original Xcom games worth playing nowadays?
If you want to go for that ride I highly recommend to buy the game and install OpenXCom which comes with full compability on modern systems and QoL improvements and a ton of mods and bugfixes (note you need a copy of the original to play openxcom as it uses the sprites, music etc.): https://openxcom.org/

What game gives you nostalgia and how old are you?
X-Com was just so hard, and I kept naming all my soldiers various family and friend names ... and boy did they die a lot. I still go back and play it randomly to this day, thanks to the https://openxcom.org project 🤘🤘🤘

Save 100% on Warhammer 40,000: Gladius
Are you talking about this? That's a homage to the original X-COM games, not the two revived XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and 2).
- An ironman victory almost 30 years in the making. What a journey. What a game. Unlike anything else.

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.
