0 A.D.
Wildfire Games | TBD
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of six ancient Western civilizations, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess. The six factions are: The Hellenic States (aka The Greeks), the Roman Republic, The Celtic Tribes, the Persian Empire, the Iberian Tribes, and the Carthaginian Empire, each complete with unique artwork, technologies and civilisation bonuses.
Developed using Pyrogenesis, a ground-breaking new game engine custom-built to suit our needs, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience. 0 A.D. is portable, running not only on Windows, like most games, but also on Linux and Mac OS X.
We believe free, OS software like 0 A.D. encourages sharing, learning and creativity. That's why we have made the code and data available under the GPL license, and released the art, sound and documentation under CC-BY-SA. Modifying the game's data files is as simple as editing JavaScript and XML files, so anyone can learn how the game was developed and share their own contribution to the 0 A.D. world.
0 A.D. has been in development by Wildfire Games (WFG), a group of volunteer, hobbyist game developers from all over the world, since 2001. We're currently working towards an alpha release of 0 A.D., after moving to open source development in July 2009.

Thanks! We feel it's a well-deserved vote of confidence in our endeavor, and we think it helps promote sharing ideas, learning how to develop games and appreciating ancient history. This couldn't have happened without a lot of hard work from our team members and the firm support of our fanbase, and we'd like to thank you all with a big, collective sloppy kiss.
We thought this could be a good occasion to tell everyone a little bit about what we've been doing recently. Consider it an official "state of the game" address. Read the rest on our website.

Tracking thanks to the award :D
Looks fantastic! Keep up the great work! Hope the multiplayer system is good!
Just a question if someone wanted, your engine for there project, would be free? or is there a cost to your engine?
Lets if i wanted your game engine for a my own game project, would i have to pay it?
And keep the great work, looking forward to the games release.
The game engine, PYROGENESIS, is Open Source and free. The catch is, if you use Pyrogenesis (modified or not), then your resulting game must also be free. :)
This game looks very interesting !!! :-)
Will this game be released before the end of 2010?
Nope.
Unless you hire a dozen of pro people working full-time on it...
Even then, we plan to have a long beta release period that maximizes our bug fixes before the "1.0".
