PERIMETER: Legate Edition is an enhanced version of the retro 2004 RTS game and the latest update expands it even further with modding and Linux ARM64. The code is also open source under the GPL available on GitHub.
More about it: “Players can transform the terrain to obtain energy, use as offensive tool or improve defenses while having to deal with hostile geological processes and entities known as ‘Scourge’. Taking place in the Chains of Worlds, players assume the role of Legates, commanders of frames, overseeing base development and leading strategic battles. As the narrative unfolds, players embody different Legates from various factions, providing multiple perspectives on unfolding events.”
New in the 3.1.10 release includes:
– Update “True English Campaign” mod
– Add Steam integration for:
- Default player name
- Language selection from settings

I still remember seeing boxed copies of it after release in a local PC store, good to see that not only did it get re-released but they continue making improvements to it.
