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 six ancient Western civilizations, from Iberia to Persia, 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.

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
Has fully working AI been implemented already? You'll see a lot more mods when this happens.
I'm eager to play this game + mod, it looks amazing.
Basic AI implementation is coming in Alpha 4.
Can't wait ;)
That is good news indeed. Could you expound on what basic AI includes?
Basic AI means that it will be in no means competitive or balanced, but simple the frame within which we can build the real AI. The AI itself will be written in JS - as for implementation, we seek only to enable these JS files to be interpreted by the game. As of about an hour ago, we currently have a script that automatically causes all units on the map to suicide when the game starts. That being said, the alpha 4 implementation will not be that simple, but it will be by no means competitive.
