From Rise of the East, we are reintroducing you to Han Chinese that this release got new wonder, blacksmith, animations, cavalry crossbowmen, and textures.

Many smaller changes were made in this release too, but it would be too elaborate to list them all.
Who are we?
The Council of Modders was formed up of two small modding teams and a few newcomers: Aristeia (about the bronze age), Millennium A.D. (about medieval times) and Rise of the East (East civilizations, Current Terra Magna) and Ponies Ascendant (Pony factions) CoM aims to create an umbrella for all wannabee modders and help everyone needed and of course create their own projects.

Well as mentioned in the changelog and in forums Zapotecs and Xiongnu are not finished and in progress, hopefully, this development cycle our artists will have bit more time.

Hi, my name is Ivan, I'd like to make a suggestion: the opening paragraph (currently titled "what's new") should instead give some description of the mod as a whole. I clicked here wanting to find out about it but all I know is that there are some new civs...

Thank you very much for your suggestion Ivan, when we upload a new version will think of something more descriptive.

Ok first try to go to wfg.forums, where we can help you Wildfiregames.com then to your message post logs (system.info, crashlog, mainlog and so on but do not enter 0ad, because when you do the logs get deleted you actually need to go there straight after the crash and errors) you will find them here Trac.wildfiregames.com .
