We pushed a hotfix for the Spanish translation, but you need to download the game again, it's compatible with yesterday's version though
Linux users, sorry for the delay, we had some packaging issues... Your maintainers should have gotten an email.

0 A.D. Alpha 24: Xšayāršā is out! See https://play0ad.com/new-release-0-a-d-alpha-24-xsayarsa/ for more info.

Current development progress for Alpha 24 is fluctuating between 98% and 99%. A few more bugs still need to be ironed out before the final packaging of the game, and then we're ready to go... One thing to look forward to in Alpha 24 are the totally reworked horse models and animations by Alexandermb. This graphic by wowgetooffyourcellphone illustrates the improvements quite well. #opensource

Alpha 24 is inching closer to completion. Stay tuned for an ETA. #opensource #gamedev #freesoftware

Hey everyone!
Translation Freeze will be on Saturday 23:59 UTC. Make sure your language will be included by getting it below the 470 remaining words to translate. So far 17 languages will be included. Greek, Chinese and Italian are almost there.

Vladislav Belov, one of our developpers will be giving a talk in 40mins at the online edition of FOSDEM

You can see the live here https://live.fosdem.org/watch/llightningtalks

Hey everyone!

Translation Freeze is coming soon!

If you want to make sure the game will feature your native language head to https://www.transifex.com/wildfire-games/0ad/ Only languages which are translated more than 90% will be included.

Thanks to all the people who help translating!

We just reached 500 followers! Thanks a lot for your support!

We have some news coming up in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

The server upgrade went fine, everything should be back to normal.

We're updating our servers, so expect some downtime.

We're now at 78.6, so as far as Python2 is concerned we are now good. We had to drop support Windows XP and Vista in the process as the Firefox's engine doesn't support them.

Currently investigating issues with the @freebsdbytes maintainer.

For those who missed it, the talk is available on @debian 's Peertube instance https://peertube.debian.social/videos/watch/7d134d11-0b25-42bc-92dd-13c496863e8e

We finally merged the @SpiderMonkeyJS 52 patch! This is one of the milestones preventing us release on Linux again, because SpiderMonkey depends on Python2 until version 78. We still have a few roadblocks ahead, but that was probably the biggest part of that library's upgrade.

Did you know that Alpha 24 will feature new archery ranges, stables and siege workshops for every faction? Even mods like Terra Magna aren't being left out. Check out the new archery range for the Zapotecs, by Lopess, one of our community members.
