History

QuoteWe're building 0 A.D. – Empires Ascendant because we love strategy gaming and we think the current state of the strategy genre is abysmal. While there have been some great strategy games released recently, we feel like the essence of old-school Real-Time Strategy has been lost. We'd like to recapture that.

We're taking the old-school conventions of the genre and updating them. 0 A.D. – Empires Ascendant is inspired by Age of Empires, but also takes cues from games like Battle for Middle Earth II, Rome: Total War, Starcraft, Age of Kings and others. We've honed the game's design into a coherent, unique whole, that delivers an authentic experience.

Over the years (development went open-source in 2009), the game's design has evolved considerably, but our hearts have always been set on recreating that feeling we had when we played our first real-time strategy game all those years ago.


If you want to see a really amazing open source RTS game then now is the time to pledge.

A free-culture game, and one that looks really good as well.  These guys deserve all the monies.

This is a great game, if they had just put it on Greenlight they would have raised much more money....
(BTW, I would like if I could log in using G+ or even better, using Steam here ^_^)

It has been getting better with incrementally over time, but it would be nice to see things get kicked into high gear. Hopefully this money will do that.
