Teaser Feature List

[Jawbax]

Officially 0 A.D. will feature the following:

• FREEWARE!

• Historically accurate

• 6 unique civilisations

• Seasons and weather

• Provinces and territories

• Realistic maps/terrain

• Realistic naval warfare

• Comprehensive editor

• Several multiplayer modes

This we all know...

But I wanted to know if there is any teaser documentation on the features that will be implimented in 0 A.D. simply to whet our appetites.

I know we get the teaser screenshot now and then, but how about some features?

This is basically the same idea (but nowhere near as long) as the pre-release info Civilization 4 had.

Well we're working on them, aren't we? Hehe, it'd be nice to have them done before we say what they are, makes more sense than promissing things and then throwing half of those promises away because we didn't have time or resources to complete them.

One of the problems that people here likely can't relate much is that we being a hobbyist team have anounced this game since it was started and have had websites and a small fanbase to keep updated. For nearly all game developers - they don't anounce a game until they are almost done with it and need to go on a marketting blitz. Take Age of Empires 3 - its been in development since 2001 (maybe even further back if you think of the idea for it) but it wasn't anounced until 9 months before it was to be released. People don't realize how long it takes to get a game off the gound and finished. Same deal with Half Life 2's release - and these are the proffesionals who spend all their time on their projects for years.

So to answer your question, there are tons more features that make this game distinct, for a quick preview you can read the FAQ which has lots of detailed information about this game. And obviously, as progress continues we'll let you know more about the game and what will be in it. For now though, we like to work on 0 A.D. rather than brag to people about what will be in 0 A.D.

As for whetting your appetites...considering how much development time is still left for this project It would really be a bad idea to get you pumped up for the game and then tell you you still need to wait a long time for it. The information, the teasers, the movies, the screenshots, and eventually the whole game will come in due time, for now we believe our fan base has better things to do than spend their time drooling over something that is still far away from being completed.
