What are some of the future plans for 0 A.D.? Are there any upcoming features or expansions that players can look forward to?

Exciting developments are underway for 0 A.D. The biggest change is shifting from an SVN-based workflow to Git, making contributions easier for programmers but potentially challenging for artists. We’re also working on an in-game encyclopedia, player moderation tools like muting, and a new renderer that will boost performance—on macOS, switching from OpenGL to Vulkan can increase FPS up to fivefold.A

You can't understand how crazy it is to see the encyclopedia listed as a feature for the game upcoming.

It won't be in A27,  but we'll be able to get at least part of the encyclopedia out in A28. We want to do some reorganizing after Vantha and the other smarties get the UI figured out, but after that we should be ready to set up the stuff we currently have and writing more.

Good work.

Oh, I forgot, the interview was very good. Good job!

 

I didn't know the formations were based off my favorite RTS Battle for Middle Earth-- will the 0 A.D. formations get bonuses eventually like in the game?

I hope so.

It's one of Wow's favorites.
