Historical real-time strategy game

    0 A.D. (pronounced "zero-ey-dee") is a free, open-source, historical
    Real Time Strategy (RTS) game currently under development by
    Wildfire Games, a global group of volunteer game developers. As the
    leader of an ancient civilization, you must gather the resources you need
    to raise a military force and dominate your enemies.

    History is Yours for the Taking

    "0 A.D." is a time period that never actually existed: In the usual
    calendar, one goes from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. and skips zero. This reflects
    the historical fiction in the game: Who would have won if all the
    factions were pitted against each other when each of them was at its
    prime?

    We intend to portray some of the major civilizations over the millennium
    of 500 B.C. to 500 A.D. (Hence the midpoint, zero.) That is an ambitious
    prospect, so in the first edition of 0 A.D. we focus on the last five
    centuries B.C. Perhaps in future expansion packs, more civilizations will
    be added, along with additional gameplay features.
    We put a strong emphasis on historical accuracy while developing 0 A.D.
    We plan all our units and all our buildings based on reconstructions of
    how the units and the buildings might have looked like in the ancient
    world. We even name them in the original languages, such as Greek and
    Latin. But it's worth remembering that any game should be fun to play,
    so, in many cases, we preferred playability over historical accuracy.

    0 A.D. is Free of Charge

    0 A.D. is completely downloadable at no cost and always will be. No
    "freemium" model, no in-game advertising, no catch. This is our iron-clad
    guarantee.
    Although you might find some people selling copies of 0 A.D. on physical
    media, remember, you will always have the option to download 0 A.D.
    gratis on the internet, directly from the developers.

    0 A.D. is Free as in "Freedom"

    0 A.D. is freely licensed software, because we believe everyone should
    have access to great games, and that everyone can learn from developing
    them. You can redistribute and modify the game as long as you abide by
    the GPL. And you can even use parts of the art and sound for your own
    projects as long as you abide by CC BY-SA.

    0 A.D. is Still Under Development

    Work on 0 A.D. began in 2001, first as a mod concept for
    Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. In 2003 development moved to a
    standalone game with its own engine, Pyrogenesis. In 2009-2010, the game
    was released as free, open-source software and and much of the codebase
    was rewritten.
    Currently, 0 A.D. is still in alpha phase, which means an early
    experimental phase. It is playable, and you can already download and test
    the game, but some features are still missing. When will 0 A.D. be
    released? It is very hard to predict. Even after we are done implementing
    all the features, we will want to conduct extensive beta testing, which
    can take a while. Information about release dates will be released at the
    appropriate time.
