(New 0 A.D. main menu)
0 A.D. is an Age of Empires like real-time strategy game. The game is open source and is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
0 A.D. is still in alpha stages, but is already looks great, with excellent graphics and sound. There are still some missing features though, like campaigns, lack of settings, no multiplayer matchmaking service and more.
0 A.D. alpha 7 has been released today with some very important improvements:
- new dynamic territory design
- new Carthaginian civilization
- a brand new main menu design
- new sound tracks as well as 100+ new sound effects
- 5 new maps
For a complete list of changes, see the official 0 A.D. alpha 7 release announcement.
Here's a video demoing the new 0 A.D. main menu:
