0 A.D. is designed to be easily modded. Mods are distributed in the form of .pyromod files, which can be opened like .zip files.

In order to install a mod, just open the file with 0 A.D. (either double-click on the file and choose to open it with the game, or run "pyrogenesis file.pyromod" in a terminal). The mod will then be available in the mod selector. You can enable it and disable it at will. You can delete the mod manually using your file browser if needed (see https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths).

For more information about modding the game, see the Modding Guide online (click the Modding Guide button below).

The mod.io service is developed by DBolical, the company behind IndieDB and ModDB. Those websites have spread the word about 0 A.D. and other indie projects for a long time! Today, mod.io allows us to list and download all the mods that were verified by the team. Click "Download Mods" to try it out and install some!
