0 A.D is a free and open source RTS game which is developed by Wildfire Games. Currently this game is still under development (Alpha phase). It is playable though there are some features not included.
Game 0 A.D is much similar to a popular game: Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, which features the battle of kingdoms in the age of 500 B.C. to 500 A.D. Through the gameplay, you will get used to three things, namely buildings such as civic center and house, units such as citizens and soldiers, and resources such as wood, food, and stone.
To gather more resources, you need to have enough number of citizens. You can create more citizens and soldiers from the civic center. Create a lot of soldiers to protect the empire area from oppponent's attack as well as to prepare for an aggression to conquer other kingdom.
