The Rise of the East is a modification for Wildfire Games' 0 A.D. that strives to bring China as a civilization into the game, meticulously researched to be as historically accurate as possible. In addition to the civilization, we plan to implement a full campaign featuring recreations of famous historical moments, new random maps and other additions to enhance the gameplay experience! As development progresses, we will periodically update the fans with the latest news, promotional media and potential community involvement as well! To commemorate our debut, we've released a small unit pack to give the fans a preview of what is to come, which can be downloaded below!
If you're using one of the more recent versions of 0 A.D., you'll need this updated version to check out our Chinese demo pack. Please read the desciption below or the read-me file for installation instructions!

---------------------------------------
Installing the mod folder
---------------------------------------
Open the "binaries\data\mods" folder.
Copy the "china" folder or zip archive here.
-----------------------------------
Running the mod
-----------------------------------
Currently, the game will not auto-detect that a new mod folder is present. Though this will be a feature in the future, as of Alpha III it is not. For the time being, you'll need to run the game via the command line (or on UNIX, Terminal). After navigating to your binaries/system/ folder (you can simply drag and drop the folder to paste the path):
Windows (fill in the /.../ with the path to your 0 A.D. folder):
cd C:\...0AD\binaries\system\
pyrogenesis.exe -mod=china
OSX (fill in the /.../ with the path to your 0 A.D. folder):
cd /Users/.../0AD/binaries/system/
./pyrogenesis_dbg -mod=china
Linux:
cd /usr/share/0ad/system/
./pyrogenesis -mod=china
Alternatively, if you're having trouble with using the command line, you can simply rename your mod folder from "china" to "internal", as the game will already load this folder name by default. If you have any questions, feel free to drop by our forums, linked to above.
looks pretty nice, great work!
