0 A.D. features the real-time strategy gameplay components of building a base, economic development, training an army, combat, and technology research.[4][2] The game includes multiple units and buildings specific to each civilization as well as both land and naval units.[5]

During the game, the player advances from 'village phase', to 'town phase', to 'city phase'. The phases represent the sizes of settlements in history, and every phase unlocks new units, buildings and technologies.

Multiplayer functionality is implemented using peer-to-peer networking, without a central server.[6]

Development[edit]

0 A.D. originally began as a comprehensive total conversion mod concept for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings in June 2001. With limited design capabilities, the team soon turned to trying to create a full independent game based on their ideas.[7]Error code 3 big fish games mac.

On 5 September 2013, an Indiegogocrowdfunding campaign was started with a US$160,000 goal. They raised a total of US$33,251 to be used to hire a programmer.[11][12] The majority of the finances are managed by the Software in the Public Interest organisation.

There is no official release date set for the finished version.[13]
