  1. ra2

    A Red Alert 2 mod for the OpenRA game engine

    It was posted below: https://github.com/OpenRA/ra2

    It works, but it's not an official release yet. Fwiw I haven't played this myself.

  3. OpenRA

    Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.

  4. OpenHV

    An Open Source Pixelart Science-Fiction Real-Time-Strategy game

    I can recommend the RTS OpenHV, built on the OpenRA engine. https://www.openhv.net/

  5. blocklist

    First time I've ever seen this. Came to the comments to see if anyone else experienced that. I don't see openra in the blocklist but perhaps I need to look again.

  6. Kegworks

    A user-friendly tool used to make wine wrapped ports of Windows software for macOS.

    I've just finished both campaigns (and moving on to Firestorm!) on my M1 Macbook by running the game through https://www.portingkit.com/ .

    It guides you through installation and wraps the game in Wine and other layers as its own .Application for running on both arm or intel macs.

    Also see https://github.com/Kegworks-App/Kegworks (the upstream tech leveraged by Porting Kit) which i've used for various modern games to great effect.

  7. Romanovs-Vengeance

    Romanov's Vengeance is an OpenRA mod based on Red Alert 2.

    There seems to be active development on the project.
