Software Update: 0 AD Alpha 24

0 AD is an open source, cross platform and real-time strategy game. Wildfire Games is now working on it with about a hundred volunteers. It is a historical war and economics game, set from 500 years before to 500 years after the start of the Christian era, which allows players to recreate the origins of Western civilization. Development started in 2001 as a total conversion mod for the game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and has been using its own game engine since 2003. A new development build was released a few days ago codenamed Xšayāršā and the main changes made to it can be found below.
