Warzone 2100 is a free, open-source 3D real-time strategy (RTS) game inspired by genre classics like Total Annihilation, Warcraft, and StarCraft. Originally released in 1999, the game places players in a post-apocalyptic world where they lead “The Project” to rebuild civilization through advanced research, base building, and tactical combat. Featuring a deep technology tree, fully customizable units, strategic resource management, and competitive multiplayer, Warzone 2100 combines the large-scale warfare of Total Annihilation with the strategic depth and faction-driven progression familiar to fans of Warcraft and StarCraft.
