A libre/free real-time strategy engine for early Westwood classics, shipping reimagined mods for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn and Dune 2000 on major desktop platforms. The upstream README describes a Libre/Free RTS engine supporting early Westwood classics and distributed mods for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn and Dune 2000. It states EA has not endorsed and does not support the product. No REA involvement is claimed. Original Westwood/EA assets and trademarks remain with their owners; OpenRA provides engine and community content, not a licensed commercial remaster. Large open issue backlog is typical of a long-lived engine. Submitter reviewed public README/license only; we have not independently tested it.
