CLUSTER GAME-STRATEGY-CLASSIC · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-03-30

Classic strategy game recreations

This cluster consists of open-source engines, mods, and fan-made clones that recreate classic real-time and turn-based strategy games from the Warcraft, Command & Conquer, and Cannon Fodder era for modern systems. The dated history before the index start spans May 2024 to February 2026 with irregular monthly counts of 1–2 entries, showing no clear trend. VCMI, fheroes2, and OpenFodder lead in activity signal, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
