Has anyone played it. I'm not currently able to access my gaming machine and I have the old family laptop so I can't try it for myself

Is it good? It looks like a pretty cool AoE clone but I'm not able to make an accurate judgment without actually playing the game

Do people on this forum even like RTS games?

looks interesting but i doubt anyone played it yet

The game is still under development as of November 2009 and no release date has been set. However, when finished it will be available as a free download.

Is there some form of (closed) beta going on then? Since it's certainly not released for public yet.

Looks like open source AoE. And this may or may not be a good thing. Good graphics. But I am not sure about the chosen era, 0AD? What empires were powerful then that could challenge Rome? Unless they went for alternative world or something.

I think its something like the first installment will focus on 300BC-0 and then the expansion will be 0-300AD

But then again I did just make that up

The game will last from 500 BC to 0 AD so it's quite a period

Technically there is no 0 AD.
True. It's either 1 BC or 1 AD, and only one year passes when you go from one to the other, which means you must subtract a year to get the correct amount if you go from one time period to the other [ e.g.: 1 - (-1) = 2, which is wrong ].

Actually, it will take place from 500 BC to 500 AD, so that is even better.

Damn Vampires. Horrid creatures. I avoid them whenever I can. Especially the emotional ones.

I mean, come on! Open source has produced several great great games ................... like ......... Nethack ....... and ......... Angband. There's also Tuxracer and Bzflag. Plus, there are several FPSs that are kinda sorta decent. There is even a FreedroidRPG. Don't forget Battle for Wesnoth!

Disgusting camera angle. How can anyone play like that?
