Published Twenty Fifth Alpha Issue Free Game 0 ad , which is a real-time strategy with high-quality 3D graphics and a gameplay in many ways similar to the games of the Age of Empires series. The initial texts of the game were opened by Wildfire Games under the GPL license after 9 years of development as a proprietary product. Assembling the game available for Linux ( Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora and Arch Linux), FreeBSD , OpenBSD , MacOS and Windows. The current version supports network game and single-user game with bots in advance modeled or dynamically created maps. The game covers more than ten civilizations that existed in the range from 500 to our era to 500 of our era.

Gaming engine 0 a.d. There are about 150 thousand lines of code in C ++, to output 3D graphics using OpenGL, to work with sound – Openal, for the organization of the network game – ENET. From other open projects to create real-time strategies, you can note: gest , Orts , warzone 2100 and Spring .
Main innovations:
- Proposed initial implementation of a single-user game.
- improved graphical interface and added advanced graphics settings.
- improved synchronization between the server and the client with a network game, lags are reduced. Improved code productivity to search for the path.
- Added the ability to restructure tasks – Players can now move tasks to the top of the queue by execution.
- Improved implementation of artificial intelligence for units.
- reworked the implementation of biomes used to simulate visual environments through the combination of textures and natural objects, such as trees and animals. New versions added new landscapes based on textures with a resolution of 2K.
- improved support for mods and filtering in the list of network games.
- continued balancing of the possibilities of civilizations.
