openage is a free, open-source clone of the Genie Engine that powers Age of Empires I/II and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, built with C++20, Python, Qt6, and OpenGL. It uses original game assets (not shipped) and aims to be a modding-friendly RTS platform with modern multiplayer support.
Use cases
- play Age of Empires II on Linux natively
- run an open-source RTS engine clone of AoE2
- build my own RTS game with an existing engine
- mod Age of Empires with a human-readable config language
- play AoE multiplayer with dedicated servers and more than 8 players
- convert original AoE game assets for use in an open engine
When to choose
- you own an original AoE1/AoE2 or Definitive Edition game and want a free, cross-platform engine
- you want a modding-friendly RTS platform with open APIs
- you want to develop your own RTS games on an open engine
- you want native AoE-style gameplay on Linux, BSD, macOS, or Windows
When to avoid
- you want a finished, polished commercial-quality game out of the box
- you don't own any of the original games, since assets are required
- you need a stable, feature-complete AoE2 replacement today
- you want a general-purpose engine unrelated to Genie Engine games
