OpenFA: A Second Life for Fragile Allegiance
An independent reconstruction of the 1990s strategy game Fragile Allegiance, rebuilding its colony management, diplomacy, espionage, and combat for modern systems.
Field notes
OpenFA documents a reconstruction process built from the original program, data, saved games, and direct comparison with in-game behaviour. The public preview is labeled version 0.495 and supports Windows and Linux, while the site also links to a devlog covering recovered engines, community fixes, huge maps, and preview releases. Its proposed .ofapkg format separates modular content and extensions from the engine, including new rules, interface elements, buildings, ships, ores, and scenarios.
