Huh. I'm familiar with the Spring RTS FOSS project (https://springrts.com https://springrts.com) which started as a reimplementation of TA, and of course Planetary Annihilation, but not "Beyond All Reason" - do you have an authoritative link?

The official website is https://www.beyondallreason.info/ https://www.beyondallreason.info/ It's an open-source project that started as a fork of SpringRTS. To my eye it looks nearly like a clone of Supreme Commander. I watched a few ranked 1v1 games on uThermal's YouTube channel (he's a former Starcraft 2 pro who mostly makes YouTube videos about Starcraft 2). Here's the playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_USFDBbymGUwLPiopP2qoAU5stsXYwks https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_USFDBbymGUwLPiopP2q...

  Well, when I saw the first Supreme Commander video it looked a lot like Sprint RTS running Balanced Annihilation to me. Right down to how the terrain deformation worked and the command queuing. Was there any particular reason for the fork? There's a lot of Spring RTS projects but they all use the same codebase. http://springrts.com/wiki/Games http://springrts.com/wiki/Games

The Spring RTS FOSS engine is an engine, but does not provide the game assets or game-specific code. Recoil is a fork of the Spring engine (background: Spring made backward incompatible changes; Recoil forked to retain backward compatibility). Beyond All Reason uses the Recoil engine and supplies its own game code, shaders, and assets. https://recoilengine.org/articles/choose-recoil/ https://recoilengine.org/articles/choose-recoil/ https://recoilengine.org/ https://recoilengine.org/ (list of games powered by Recoil) https://github.com/beyond-all-reason https://github.com/beyond-all-reason Source: been in the BAR Discord for about a year, have contributed tiny bits of server code to the project, and read a few pull request comments.
