I'd definitely pay for a game with a campaign built on the foundations of the game. I miss good strategy games with nice long campaigns.

View on HN

Campaigns are on the roadmap. All the required code to support them is complete, we just need to build the scenarios.

I love the game and so do my kids, is there an easy way to know how people can contribute? I mean do you need more assets? Storyboards for campaigns? In game copy? Designs? Historical research? Coding help?

Tell us what your needing, coding and otherwise. Congrats on the great work so far also!

From the release page "We are seeking volunteer contributors in programming, art, sound, documentation and more. Programmers are especially welcome and can get started immediately."

If you're a programmer, you can start here - http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GettingStartedProgrammers

We'd love help in any of those areas! If you'd like to help with programming, take a look at [1]. For other areas, the processes is less structured and I'd suggest starting on our forums [2]. In both cases however, jump on our IRC channels if you have any questions (#0ad and #0ad-dev on quakenet).

In terms of where we most need contributors, at the moment I'm not aware of anyone working on campaign storyboarding or UI mockups.
