0 A.D. Alpha 17 Quercus 发布，此版本现已提供下载（Linux，Windows 和 Mac OS X 二进制包和源代码）。
Wildfire Games 发布第七个 0 A.D 的 Alpha 版本，包括重要的改进，比如一个重要的 gameplay rebalance，units on wall，改进 mod 支持等等。
0 A.D. Alpha 17 "Quercus" 值得注意的改进如下：
Major Core Combat Rebalance:
if you send only one unit type to battle, it fares poorly against regiments of the same size that mix more than one type, e.g. melee and ranged units;
technologies as a whole have been made more expensive and unrelated technologies have been "unpaired";
some stats have been adjusted to make training some units viable
buildings are now a bit easier to destroy;
formations were removed temporarily, but they will be reimplemented again some point, in a more balanced way.
Naval map support: the computer opponent now uses transport ships to colonize other islands and attack enemy bases, but naval combat (i.e. ships against ships) is not yet implemented;
Units On Walls: Units can be garrisoned in wall segments, and appear on the walls at predefined prop points;
Users can now view profiles of other players from within the lobby;
2 new maps: a Oasis (skirmish map) and Schwarzwald (random map);
Implemented triggers: A "trigger" makes an action occur in the game if a specified event takes place;
A new Mod Selector allows users to enable or disable mods, save them or just restart into them to test them out. This way, it is a lot easier to test and play mods. This can be reached at: Main Menu -> Tools & Options -> Mod Selection. Also, modders can now easily make small changes to the game without having to copy and modify many files.
