    5 Wildfire Games (WFG) is a group of hobbyist game developers in the process of producing a freeware real-time strategy (RTS) game. The name of this project is 0 A.D. (``zero ey-dee"). In short, it is a historically based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful game engine supporting modern game features.

    7 Our built-from-scratch game engine, called Pyrogenesis, is specifically designed for flexibility and ease of modification. Game logic, art work and data can easily be changed through data files.  The engine itself is designed to provide maximal flexibility while while remaining efficient.  Pyrogenesis therefore provides a solid platform on which to work on individual features of RTS games, and can be used to create a completely different game from 0 A.D.  Wildfire Games is actually developing a second project based on the Pyrogenesis engine in parallel - a Lord of the Rings-based game called The Last Alliance.

    990 A.D. has been in development for five years.  The team members are largely students and game development hobbyists.  The game has always been intended to be released as freeware and available to all, and none of the participants have been or will be compensated financially for the contributions they have made.  The reward for us is the experience we have gained and the pleasure of creating a game RTS enthusiasts like us have been waiting for.
