  1. Hi Leonidas, we just started working on Alpha 16 so we don't know all the new things yet. Also we usually only choose a name towards the end of the development of an alpha version.

    We have announced that we want to release the Seleucid Empire and that will probably be the final faction in "0 A.D. - Empires Ascendant".

  2. Ideas for peace scenes:

    • Plowing fields, harvesting wheat, wood chopping, people tending to livestock in the corral, chickens running around and kids chasing them, etc.
    • Construction work, especially of monuments, but houses are also okay.
    • Celebration at temple, animal sacrifice, drinking and dancing. Priests presiding over the whole affair.
    • Ancient marketplace scene: Livestock, fish, fruit, vegetables, fabric, ivory, amphoras and other pottery. People haggling animatedly and gesturing numbers with their fingers. (No anachronisms like tomatoes, please.)
    • Trade at docks: Merchants, dock workers lugging around heavy stuff, etc. Ships and wharves in the background. More animated haggling, people signing contracts.
    • The arts: Sculpture, metalworking, pottery, music, theater etc.
    • Hellenes: View of Athens from the acropolis or vice versa.

    Ideas for war scenes:

    • Battle scenes: Open battlegrounds, siege warfare etc.
    • Unique formations: Phalanx and testudo.
    • Particular generals and campaigns (e.g. Hannibal and the elephants in the Alps).
    • Night scene: Soldiers at their camp drinking wine around a fire. Loot is seen in the background.
    • Roman victory procession with loot and prisoners.
    • Military training of boys with wooden swords and shields and such.
    • Celts: Warriors applying woad.

  3. Chris Priestman has put together a beautiful piece about us at Indie Statik. He really gets what 0 A.D. is all about, and it shows:

    A huge project like 0 A.D. is worthy of people’s time because it’s a community project that people can find resolve in, share stories with others who helped to build it, and in a few months, or a year, or maybe even a decade, they’ll be able to look back at the game and remember the people they met, the things they learned, the things they shared.

    Plus, we’ve been featured in OMG!Ubuntu! and the prominent German-language website Golem.de.

    Some more shout-outs, including YouTube videos, can be found on our campaign updates page. Check it out!

    Please feel free to share more places 0 A.D. has been covered, and help spread the word to further outlets.

  4. What a great initiative!

    It won't be in time for the fundraiser obviously,
    Why not? The fundraiser runs through October 20, 2013.
    I am willing to consider reimbursing him for a predetermined sum, if he can show us a quote or receipt. I'm thinking $50. How much does he want?
    * We can provide some promotional material for him by the event date (fliers, stickers, etc)

    If he wants the help of the community writing and designing these materials, he can start a forum thread without need for the approval of the Treasury Committee. :)
