FreeOrion – a free, open-source, turn-based space empire and galactic conquest (4X) computer game being designed and built by the FreeOrion project. FreeOrion is inspired by the tradition of the Master of Orion games, but is not a clone or remake of that series or any other game.
By adding scripting capabilities to the game engine the FreeOrion project aims to give the community an easy way to customize the game mechanics and presentation to create a living, breathing universe in a grand campaign model.
FreeOrion requires an OpenGL 2.1 capable graphic card and a display with a suggested minimum resolution of at least 1280×800.
Recent releases of FreeOrion require at least Windows 8.1 or later, macOS 10.12 or later or any reasonably recent Linux distribution on x86 compatible processors, such as Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.10. Other operating systems and architectures have reported to be working by users, but are not actively supported by the FreeOrion project.
