[edit] Adding of AI section

I think I should mention that it's possible to team up with the computer against other computer players. It's the only thing I know regarding the game AI section, and I can't go into much more detail. Logictheo 01:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not notable

I personally disagree that this article is not notable. This is because Glest is just about the only Open Source 3D strategy game there is. Cristan 01:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

That in itself doesn't make it notable. I'd never heard of it until this morning, and while I believe it's a fantastic accomplishment and deserves far more community support that it currently has, the fact is that it's currently a half-abandoned project with little community mindshare. I'm going to try and work on evangelising it, see if it can be made notable (rather than trying to argue that it already is). Chris Cunningham 11:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I also notice alot of other pages on the open source list have been given the same message around the same time. Some of which i do not agree with such as this one. Lockgar
Although I do think most of these games are notable maybe before we loose the information they might be merged into some basic articles. Is there a list somewhere of games threatened by being not notable enough for an article of their own? Can they be grouped? Could there be an article like "RTS-Games" with at least a paragraph on each game? This could also be a place to group the games. --T.woelk 16:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion: No

There's no reason to delete this article. There are hundreds of open source games; just because you haven't heard of / don't like this one doesn't mean it should be deleted.
