The Apache 2.0 fork is mostly visual so far, with steampunk units and an animated intro.

Key facts
  • Panache adds dirigibles, steam vehicles, and an animated intro.
  • Willison says it is playable and mostly a reskin.
  • The original Battle Drones is under the Apache 2.0 license.

From the original article

Panache — RTS Belle Époque pour mobile Well this is delightful: I released Battle Drones yesterday under an Apache 2. 0 License and there's already a French language fork which reskins the game to take place in steampunk 1900s France and adds an animated intro!
