FreeOrion is a multiplayer, turn-based strategy computer game, inspired by the Master of Orion series. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. It is a 4X game (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate), incorporates the nation-building elements of games such as Europa Universalis 2 and features a versatile tactical combat engine. While its modular, open-source design allows for a significant degree of customization of the game engine and the story elements by the community, the FreeOrion team is dedicated to the construction of a living, breathing universe in a 'grand campaign' model.
Currently (v.0.3) the system does not support computer-based opponents to any significant extent but future development is anticipated.
Players take the helm of a newly-spaceborne Empire to explore and colonize the stars. Sometimes thought of as "Civilization in space," FreeOrion's design also provides for a tactical combat engine along the lines of Homeworld and the Total War series.
