Happy new year 2011, everybody! If you've been wondering what's new with 0 A.D., here are some quick updates for our fans on ModDB & IndieDB:
- First up, modding team Scion Development has announced that it is debuting a mod for 0 A.D. based on China under the Han dynasty, called Rise of the East. We wish them all the best and hope this mod is just the first of many! A demo release of their mod is available here: Infantry Release Pack.
[W]e are thrilled to announce our debut project, The Rise of the East, introducing a brand new faction to the game: China. [...] In addition to the civilization, we plan to implement a full campaign, featuring recreations of famous historical moments, new random maps, and more. (Read more)
- Next, we won an honorable mention in IndieDB's Indie of the Year contest, in the players' choice category for the Best Upcoming Indie. We'd like to send out a big thanks to all our fans and say: Just wait for what's in store for 2011!
- Last but not least, we've achieved over 34% in our fundraiser to sponsor one month's work of programming 0 A.D. Thanks! We're glad so many people believe in the vision that is 0 A.D. and agree that some full-time work can really expedite things. Please pitch in if you can spare a few!

Well I was hoping for a Medieval europe or crusade setting :( But still, good job guys and good luck.
Eh, Medieval Europe is a bit overplayed in my opinion
Doesn't mean its bad though
Now the East, yay
And China too, to boot
