We have just released 0 A.D. Alpha 7 Geronium, debuting the Carthaginian faction, including a new dynamic territories game mechanic and more. You are all welcome to download it and try it out!

Given your pace over the last year, I'm guessing we'll see another great release from you soon.
Is there an interview or blog post, anything about how you approach development that might educate other FOSS projects. There are many great ideas floating around here that it would be great to see come to fruition.

We have just released 0 A.D. Alpha 8 Haxāmaniš. You are all welcome to download it and try it out!

Brendan_, we'd love to provide an interview, or to have someone have a series of interviews with team members and synthesize some greater thesis. There's really no secret here: A common vision, good teamwork and lots of goodwill and commitment to the project propel it forward.

Is the crowdfunding worth a separate post in General forum? It's an important thing (IMHO), and deserves some relevance.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just see it

I tried to play 0ad sometime back and was a bit disappointed. A similar game I played eons ago was 'Age of Mythology' and the expansion pack 'Titans' . I used to play the single player campaigns and I could win at leisure . I could enjoy looking at the art and immerse and not be caught into doing a frenzy. I think there was something called 'easy' which was in the game. I wish at some point 0ad does include that way as well.That would be cool.
