This is not an engine in itself, this is just a term that can be used as a name for the "2D" RTS games Westwood Studios developed. They never officially announced, named or released this engine.

It was just added and named internally for purposes of ModDB by a member of the community.

This is definitely one of the best "engines" designed for RTS games. Especially the later versions (used for example in Red Alert 2) have many great features such as lighting and ambient sound system.

This is not called the Westwood 2D engine >_>

DuneII only shares the Westwood library, but it was not until C&C DOS that the first C&C RTS engine started, the code and class pattern can be seen from C&C DOS until RA2: Yuri's Revenge, Generals is where this engine departed.

The last game i see with the base Westwood library with somewhat existence is C&C3.

Dune II, albeit not CNC canon, also greatly shares ancestral heritage with this engine
