# 0 A.D. Introductory Information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform
|
||
|
|
real-time strategy game of ancient warfare.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is currently an incomplete, under-development version of the game.
|
||
|
|
We're always interested in getting more people involved, to help bring the game
|
||
|
|
towards completion and to share the interesting experience of developing a
|
||
|
|
project of this scope.
