History
0 A.D. originally began as a comprehensive total conversion mod concept for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings in June 2001. With limited design capabilities, the team soon turned to trying to create a full independent game based on their ideas.
In November 2008 developers confirmed that they would soon be releasing the project as open source. On 10 July 2009, Wildfire Games released source code for 0 A.D. under the GPL 2, and made the art content available under the CC-BY-SA.
There were about ten to fifteen people working on 0 A.D. around 23 March 2010, but since development started there have been over 100 people who have contributed.
