0AD, the open source, cross platform, historical RTS is now running a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo in order to pay a programmer to work on the game for 1-2 years, plus other stuff, full time. If the campaign succeeds this could mean that a beta is only a year or so out. And maybe the game will be finished in the next year, at least Part One, which is 500BC to 1BC. Part Two being 1AD to 500AD.

Before you get clever, they know 0AD is not a real year, and they explain the name.

The following is a link to their announcement post:

Good to see them go with the flexible founding, as even if they don't reach their target they will still have some founding to improve their rts.

I hope this will allow them to get some more coders to obtain some performance improvement in their engine.

When I saw the title I thought it was notch's cancelled space game.  Darned hex looking numbers!

I modified the title, just in case.

I think I still have a really old demo of this. I burned down the enemy camp with an army of Leonidases.

Oh god, I've totally done that. I think the current alpha, 14, has capped heroes to be unique. Sad times.
