0 A.D. 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 twelve ancient civilizations, from Iberia to Mauryan India, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess. Developed using Pyrogenesis, a ground-breaking new game engine custom-built to suit this project, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience.
A raiding party of Celts makes a daring escape across a shallow river ford, while enemy spearmen pursue in vain.
Here we officially debut our new water code and a new lightset- Rainy. The water code utilizes complex shaders and normal maps in order to bring intense realism to our upstart little game. Such techniques can be seen in such large commercial projects as "Age of Empires 3," and "Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War" created by well-known studios, Ensemble and Stainless Steel respectively. The new water represents work by many individuals, most notably our very own Matei, without whom such realistic water could not have been attained in such a fashion.
Amazing!
I love this setting.
