    Awesome! Now games can be made for SteamOS and Linux distros natively.

    Nothing can boost Linux gaming more than actually development in Linux

    When I get my copy I will try to make a Civilization game that cause Firaxis to say 'We should have ported Civilization V to Linux when we had the chance. Now its to late and we lost out on all those sales.' that’s what happened in 83 or whenever Bill Gates convinced the President of IBM to sell Microsoft to him!

    Absolutely! It should be available in your package manager.
    It is crowdfunded too
    Its a totally open source (FREE) time-period strategy game just like Civilization.

    Downloading game now. I watched the video where the guy painted the warrior. I thought the attention to detail was impressive.

    I just launched the game and immediately discovered a display bug. I made a new ticket. #2320.

    OK alt enter switched to windows mode. I got defeated on my first game. I was trying to get a horse to my pen. My stupid worker walked into the enemy camp, Once they knew where I was it was only a matter of time. Lol. Maybe the forums can tell me how to pen up animals without going into the enemy's camp.

    Ah, not yet implemented. OK. I guess that’s not a surprise since its in Alpha still. Its throwing the occasional Java script error.

    Yeah still in Alpha, but what an amazing indie game and stunning visuals.
    I was able to play the Alpha in Mint too.
    I'm not a huge strategy gamer, buts I have to admit its pretty awesome for a free game.

    It looks like its headed in a good direction. I hope the next version comes out soon. I want to be able to use the animal pen to provided a reusable source of animal food.

    Cool, glad you are liking it. I'm not sure when they are predicting to be finished, but 0.A.D. is getting a lot of attention online.
