New Release: 0 A.D. Alpha 7 Geronium

[feneur]

After playing Alpha 7 for a few days, I just uninstalled it ....because it was stealing all my time.

That's one of the better compliments a game can get =) In a weird kind of way

Hello All,

I am new to 0 A.D, I was poking around the internet this week looking to see if anyone was producing a more modern version of the original AOE and I found a forum that had the link to this game. I am really glad I found it. I downloaded the Alpha 7 today and although I know it is still in development I have to say, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I am very excited about this game. I truly appreciate the historical depth and accuracy you are giving this game as I was a History major in college and I am currently working on my M.A. in Military History. I do have a question though, one of the things that frustrated me today when I was playing was the fact that I could not save my game. Then I noticed on your developer/build RSS on the bottom left of the home page that as of 30 OCT you have integrated the ability to save a single player game. So my question is, how do I update the Alpha 7 version with the latest build or is that not possible? I would really love to be able to save a game.

Thanks and keep up the great work guys!

Thanks for your kind words. I'll answer a few things in turn:

1. Saving single player games right now is only in the early stages but is looking very promising. Likely a stable and useful game saving feature will be included in Alpha 8, which is about a month and some change away.

2. You can get the SVN version of the game, which has all the up-to-date files for the game, here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/TortoiseSVN_Guide
