.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform
|
|
real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a
|
|
historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite
|
|
the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C.
|
|
and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D
|
|
graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built
|
|
game engine.
|
|
|
|
The game has been in development by Wildfire Games (WFG), a group of volunteer,
|
|
hobbyist game developers, since 2001.
