It’s not clear from the website but I’ve always been curious if these engines have community built assets that negate the need for real game assets. It would be really nice to sidestep the need to buy the games altogether (legally of course!)
In this case, EA released all the classic c&c games for free so its pretty easy to snag all the assets. I think the OpenRA launcher even has an option to download them for you.
There are 3rd party mods with their own assets too though, its a pretty neat engine.

Bless EA. I was wondering how this happened. I have wonderful memories of playing these games in the early 1990s and it has been doubly wonderful playing them now, with my children, in LAN mode.
