Free Play 0 AD Comes to Alpha 19 Syllepsis Version

0 ad

Ubuntu users love the FOSS, Do not? And if there are free games that allow us to entertain ourselves in free time, the better. It is the case of AD 0, a game of real time strategy (RTS) developed by Wildfire Games that on the 26th reached its nineteenth alpha version, also known as Syllepsis, and the launch reaches Linux, Mac and Windows, (the latter does not surprise us).

Syllepsis arrives with some interesting news that most players will like. Among other highlights, it is interesting to mention a new explorer, new animations in the city and building construction, two new victory modes (Conquest Structures and Conquest Units) and a ceasefire game mode (ceasefire). But the news does not stop there. There's still more.

On the other hand, 0 AD Alpha Syllepsis also features attack coordination, three new maps (Tuscan Acropolis, Alpine Mountains and Northern Island), aura display, replay, new animals, support for Latin in Roman units, XML validation support, and Petra AI enhancement.

As if that were not enough, the following new features have also been added:

  • Increased the maximum size of the maps, so we can build the city and fight in a bigger and more diverse world.
  • SDL2 is enabled by default on GNU / Linux systems.
  • Adds support for viewing the coastline across the map for the Ptolemaic Lighthouse.
  • Removes generic Celtic and Hellenic traits.

As you can see, it is not an update that we can label as minor.

Install 0 AD

1-install 0 ad

The game has long been available in the official repositories. Although we can also download it from the Software developer center, below you have the commands to install 0 AD from the terminal. We will do it by writing the following:

sudo apt-get install 0ad

But the game will not be updated if we do not add the necessary repositories, which are those of 0 AD, something that we will do by typing the following in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: wfg / 0ad sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install 0ad

Run 0 AD

Unlike what most applications do, 0 AD does not add any icon in Ubuntu, but we have to launch it from the terminal. We will do it by writing only three letters:

0ad

    I have installed the game for a long time, and I like it, how do I update the game to this version?

    Do you have the official repository? It's explained. If you install it, it should appear to you as an update, theoretically.

    A greeting.

    I can't run the game. The following error I get in the terminal:
    "Bash: 0ad: command not found"
