Open Empires: 0 A.D. Is An Open Source Historical RTS


The landscape of PC gaming is littered with bright ideas and good intentions: both of those things seem true of 0 A.D. Wildfire Games have take the popular template of Age Of Empires-style historical RTS, and made an open-source project out of it. You can see the fruit of their labours in a series of videos - linked below - or, hell, you can download the alpha and play it (Windows, OSX, Linux). Wildfire are so keen on getting people involved to create mods and variants - or to help with the main game - that they've even gone and posted a how-to guide on how to engage with their programming plans. Commendable.

Listen to that guy's voice! Sexy.
