Glest is no longer in development, having been overtaken by the Glest Advanced Engine and MegaGlest forks, but how to start games remains the same. Menu differences do occur between the different versions, but overally, placement of options is very similar. This page is for the most recent versions of the engines.
Starting a Custom Game[]
Custom games are the most common games, as they are the basic games where you can choose all your options, such as the faction, map, and tileset, and are also the basis for hosting a multiplayer game.
Glest / MegaGlest[]
- Click "New Game"
- Click "Custom Game"
- Set Options as desired and press "Play Now"
Glest Advanced Engine[]
- Click "New Game"
- Set Options as desired and press "Play Now"
Starting a Scenario[]
Scenarios are games that have set options, and sometimes specific scripting to let them do things that regular games cannot.
Glest / MegaGlest[]
- Click "New Game"
- Click "Scenario"
- Choose the scenario, then click "Play Now"
Glest Advanced Engine[]
- Click "Scenario"
- Choose the scenario category and scenario, then press "Play Now"
Multiplayer[]
- See Multiplayer.
Loading Games[]
Only GAE can save and load games. If you have already saved a game (hotkey "z" in-game), you can load any previous save with the following instructions:
- Click load game
- Choose a save and click "Load"
