Glest is one of the top freeware games I have come across. The graphics are 3D, sound and game play is awesome - so awesome it won a Playstation ArtFuture Video Game Design award!
The idea of
Glest is that of Age of Empires or War Craft, build your society up and protect it against or destroy the other enemies societies. There are four different maps you can play on (Riverside, Four Rivers, The Island or The Ruins), each with the option to play in winter or summer.
Game play is challenging and will take you a short while to get used to, so be prepared to be killed a few times! The graphics are outstanding although the maps are slightly similar and the sound effects are extremely well done.
The major disappointment I had with this game (which is why I never gave it 100%) is that there is no network play, only the option to play against 3 computer controlled players. Other than this it is an outstanding freeware game. I highly recommend you try it.
