Default Computer games that remind us of OGRE/GEV ...

There happens to be a free game that allows you to customize your units during the game.
This means you can create GEVs, TNKs, INF, etc.
The game is Warzone 2100 and is available for Windows and Linux ... and it's FREE, has a map editor and is mod friendly. Maybe there could be a way to create OGREs in this Real Time Strategy game.
During play you can open up a unit editor that allows you to change the
Chassis (for health and engine power)
Propulsion (for acceleration and speed)
Weaponry (damage, range, Rate of Fire, etc.)
Changing these things change weight and cost.

LGEV : Bug chassis; Hover propulsion; TwinMG
GEV : Mantis chassis; Hover propulsion;
LHT TNK : Viper chassis; Tracked propulsion; Light Cannon
HVY TNK : Python chassis; Tracked propulsion; Medium Cannon
MSL TNK : Python chassis; Tracked propulsion; Mini-Rocket Artillery
MBL HWTZR : Python chassis; Tracked propulsion; Howitzer
TRUCK : Cobra chassis; Wheeled propulsion; Truck load-out

You can even use infantry of different types: Machine-gunner cyborg, Heavy Gunner cyborg, Flamethrower cyborg, Missile cyborg.
Tell me what you think!
For even more information here is the online guide.

I really hope someone finds this interesting enough not to be down-voted. Warzone 2100 works on almost any computer - windows or linux. Thank you.

I’ve been playing Warzone 2100 since it came out commercially in 1999. It’s got everything in the Ogre universe, except Ogres…

There is this ONE tank chassis, the Dragon, that has two turrets. I am sure through some creative modding one could create a chassis that could put 2 heavy cannons, 4 rail guns, 6 super missiles and 8 heavyMG as well as a radar (or CB) tower in the center. Then script is coded so that when the tracks hit box is hit it slows it down some % of it's maximum speed. I know a lot of work for a 22 year old game but I still play Tribes 2(1999)...

Sidenote: Have you tried installing ARmod 3.3.0? It improves the graphics 200% without changing the campaign or multiplayer game play - just the graphics.
