Game for Linux: Review 0A.D

gamer Real Time Strategy (RTS) remember a game called Age Of Empires (AOE). The game received a lot of love and inspired many other historical RTS games like Rise Of Nations, Age of Mythology, etc. However, this particular game for Windows and Linux have always felt a void in the field of antique historical RTS war. There seems to be good news people. 0 AD (read zero AD), free and open source is now available for Linux

Tops & Flops
.: ” was published a few weeks ago. It is not yet in beta, it is not surprising to find some missing features. I expect the game to be more fully developed in the near future.

0 AD has almost all the features (or there is a field for him) what you expect in ancient warfare RTS game. The game started with a simple “how to play” tutorial and unfortunately 0 AD is just a page with instructions and a button control. Since I already have enough experience with AOE, I do not need it, but it is a must for beginners. He did not campaign mode activated if they are displayed in the main menu that gives hints that it will be available in the final version. I hope he has a great campaign the same line AoE.

I tried the single player mode to get a feel of the game. Aside from the occasional bug (after falling as well) satisfying gaming experience. This game’s graphics are not as great as other games available, but good enough for RTS games. The game has six civilizations to choose from, each with their own unit specific civilization. There are a number of questions / scenarios available. It is also a scenario editor to create your own custom map.

A major disadvantage is that 0 AD take up too many resources. I could feel that even if he is playing on my Ubuntu laptop 4:12 powered by Core i3 and 4 GB of RAM (not power, but good enough, I’d say). Developers are aware of this problem and attempt to solve it in the next version. For an overview of the game, you can watch online video game developers:

How to install
0 AD: sudo add-apt-repository ppa: WFG / sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install 0AD

And then find strong 0AD in-dash unit (or application menu).
