Like many doom/quake clones (before ID released the source) I expect openage to be supplied without the artwork, you will need an original CD/image for that.

Yep, the assets don't ship with the codebase - you need to provide your own original AoE II (or AoE II HD) installation.

#50ad started as a AOE mod then they started their own engine and assets. I've been playing a lot of 0ad lately, I recommend it.

#7Cool project!
But i'm confused. On http://openage.sft.mx/ they say this is a reimplementation in C++14, but seems to be actually implemented in Python [1] ?

It uses both. C++14 for the engine, and Python for the convert script and some other things. Check the README for more information.

#10It's amazing to see so many community powered open source projects dedicated to keeping old games alive (while also preserving the same look & feel these games had back in '90s).
Along with the OpenMW[1], OpenRA[2], OpenTTD[3] and OpenRCT2[4] listed on openage's GitHub page, lots of others exist. To name a few:
* OpenXcom[5] for X-COM: Enemy Unknown and the later Terror From the Deep games.
* Nuvie[6], Exult[7] and Pentagram[8] for Ultima VI-VIII respectively.
* GZDoom[9] (and various others) for running Doom, Doom II etc.
* Freeciv[10] for running Civilization.
