Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, has a really strong community behind it. Be warned, it is an intensely deep simulation (as in dwarf fortress), that is often criticized for it’s tediousness. But that gameplay element critique aside, it’s a fantastic example of a community developped game.

Highly recommend. Easier to grasp than dwarf fortress, although finding community can be a bit hard since reddit shutdown

They also took the trouble and respect to make the game multi-language, unlike dwarf fortress.

Battle for Wesnoth is the one that comes to mind first. Turn based strategy game.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup classical roguelike, as in actually like Rogue/nethack. Can be played with ASCII or graphical tiles, and you can play in a browser window with scoreboards and a spectator mode.

Are we talking about serious business civ 2 style, or something more relax like the 5th one ?

I believe it’s based on Civ4 by default but can be modded to be more like 3 or 5
