0 A.D. release names start with the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to the release version. I.e. Ulysses for Alpha 21, Venustas for Alpha 22, Wood for Alpha 23.
Hence Alpha 24 should receive a name starting with X.
As with previous releases, we give everyone the opportunity to propose release names.
Let us hear your best proposals!
Xenophon is cool and interesting from an educational perspective, but we already have a bunch of Greek stuff...
Xerxes is the more obvious choice (which isn't necessarily bad), and we haven't had a Persian name for an alpha since alpha 8 (2011)... Maybe add some special attention to the Persians the upcoming release?
So yeah, my vote is on the dude that ordered the lashing of the Hellespont
