And, for completion, with the same engine that beyond all reason is done, but with a different game play feeling: https://zero-k.info/ I personally prefer Zero-K (flatter tech tree, territory can be more important), but both are great games. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

I'll take this opportunity to recommend Zero-K[1] for those who were into Total Annihilation. It's truly excellent! [1]: https://zero-k.info/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander. Source: about 1 year ago

Zero-K and Beyond All Reason have some kind of tower defense mode. Both are FOSS and run on the same engine (Spring). Source: about 1 year ago

You could use a short response timeout (<1s) to make it impractical for human players to participate - for instance, that's what Battlesnake does (https://play.battlesnake.com/). Players provide an endpoint that follows the required API and their code never leaves their machines. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Battlesnake is a multiplayer game where a small server you write plays a survival-style snake game paired with snakes implemented by others. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
