This adds @OpenHV.

Trilarion commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the proposed addition. I would have one question about how different OpenHV is from OpenRA. Is it basically OpenRA just with different graphics or are there different game mechanics as well? How much different is the codebase between OpenHV and OpenRA by now?

My concern is that if I start adding mods, I might end up with many new entries, which also would need to be maintained somehow.

Mailaender commented 3 years ago

OpenHV is using a large chunk of the OpenRA engine and SDK with some custom logic maintained in the mod. The main difference is that OpenHV is a true Open Source game. The game assets are not proprietary.

Thanks for the explanation.
