Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you build from scratch?

I didn't see a source link on the download page.

Is Zero-k still popular now that its cousin https://www.beyondallreason.info has matured ?

Wasn't aware there's a successor. Screenshots make it seem very similar. Anyone played it?

They are similar but different. BAR is more of a unique game (for better or worse), while ZeroK is much closer to an HD remake of Total Annihilation.

Yes, Beyond All Reason is a great RTS. Most people seem to be interested in 8 vs 8 team mode, but there's a plenty of other options, including FFA.

I don't know how it compares to Zero-K.

But it perfectly captures the spirit of the original Total Annihilation.
