 Nice realtime strategy game, without much research, but with thick techtree. The main difference, however, is that production depends less on accumulated resources than on income rates. Additional files and info can be found [[http://files.tauniverse.com/|here]] and [[http://www.d-gun.com/|here]]. An open source replica with a very similar design is [[Balanced Annihilation]].

+Just install and you are done. The Escalation Mod can simply be copied over. Only prerequisite for using it is, that you can set your display resolution to at least 1024x768. If you do not do so, the game will crash the moment you select your commander.
