Replaces: Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Summary

Native macOS engine for Forged Alliance skirmishes, using game data from an existing installation.

Description

A C++23 RTS engine for macOS with a native Metal renderer. Loads Forged Alliance maps, models, blueprints and sound banks from a retail installation. Implements skirmish simulation with fixed-point arithmetic, command-log replay and a Lua adapter for FAF AI. A separate launcher runs Beyond All Reason using the upstream Recoil engine.

Compatibility and scope

Status and compatibility are maintainer-reported. Inclusion is not an independent verification or certification.

Development status: Alpha
Compatibility: Partial (claimed)
Languages: C++, Objective-C++, Lua
Platforms: macOS
License: GPL-3.0-or-later; GPL-2.0-or-later components

Known limitations

Work in progress; no multiplayer or full gameplay parity. Needs a retail Forged Alliance install and pinned FAF AI scripts. Upstream documents a golden replay check diverging from its saved baseline; deterministic replay is not independently verified. The separate BAR launcher uses upstream Recoil and is not a reimplementation.
