Rather overshadowed by RE's announcement less than 24 hours later, but 0 A.D. has finally reached Alpha status.
There is a short gameplay video and some basic informationhere , if you are interested in trying the game out the PC version can be downloaded here (122 MB) and the MAC and Linux versions can be found here, there is more information over at Wildfire's 0 A.D. website
Although playable there is no AI, so the computer players will not do anything, however there ismuliplayer available if you can find a friend to play it with.
For those of you aware of 0 A.D. you have probably already downloaded and played the pre-Alpha and Alpha version, for the rest of you a little info on 0 A.D.

Quoted from Wildfie:
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built game engine.
