Zandagort is/was a free online sci-fi strategy indie game. Reasons for you to play with it:
- complex gameplay: ecology, economy, trade, research, warfare, diplomacy
- map where you can really control your spaceships, not just start countdowns, with the possibility of tactical maneuvers
- finite servers, common enemy: Zandagort arrives at the end of each server to destroy mankind, and players who were enemies before have to collaborate to prevail
- strong community support: in-game chat, forum, private messages
- strong community nurturing noobs and creating the world and story of the game
The game went open source in 2012. If you want to download it, run your own server, or modify it into a completely different game, you can find it on GitHub. Unfortunately the source code and the installation manual is currently only available in Hungarian.
If you want to play, choose an independent Zandagort server:
Independent Zandagort servers
PlanetStars
Zandagortica
Both are only Hungarian. :-(
