Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

Plenty of discussion on Lemmy too

Unfortunately the graphics in this game are pretty awful. The textures are quite flat and rely on a sad looking dark palette.

There’s also the Settlers 2.5 which is actually using the original game‘s graphics and looks way nicer: https://www.siedler25.org/

Need to check this out.

I am one of those people that doesn't mind even outright bad graphics as long as the game is fun. :)
