0 A.D., an in-development free and open source real-time strategy game has a big new release out with Alpha 26. Easily one of the most impressive open source game projects!

Some of what's new in this release includes:

A new civilization: The Han
New campaign maps: Tarim basin and Yangtze.
Now units have acceleration.
Twenty-six new music tracks.
New and updated art.
Better formation movement.
New graphical options like Texture Quality and Anisotropic Filtering.
Many performance improvements and ongoing refactorings.

This game has been in alpha for over a decade. But to its credit, it has outlasted many other open source game projects.
