This modding team called itself WildfireStudios and was founded in January 2001.
By May of that year, WildfireStudios had distinguished itself above other modding teams for its legendary Age of Kings modpack, Rome at War, which is still considered among the best modpacks ever made.
Then in late 2001, WildfireStudios began its next project, which was codenamed, "0 A.D." This project was going to be a total-conversion modification for Age of Kings, which set the game in the era from 500 B.C. to 500 A.D..
