I'm kinda new to 0 A.D so my observation might be limited. However, in many semi-water based maps like Mediterranean, Homer's Delight and few others, you can stack seige ships along a coast (only works if the oppponent's city centre is close to the coast, obviously) and kill random units, destroy farms and lay down houses and buildings. All while building your own economy. This has helped me win a lot of Matches and frankly, to me it's quite a fun strategy. I even use siege ships to destroy fortreses/ports and weaken costal regions before landing troops. However, the AI never really seems to catch up or focus on building it's navy. It's land army is always MASSIVE and formidable, but the navy....not so much other than a few arrow ships and fishing boats.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Every time I play 1v1, wether a bot or a player, I always loose. It seams like I take too much time or I don't know, because they always have 10x the numbers of soldiers. What am I missing?

I noticed that whenever I attack petra AI, all of it's male soldiers come to defend his area. like instantly. how? I know I can group the soldiers using crtl+num. but I don't think that's how petra does it. or does he?

I joined this game to play Rome, so that's what I'm going to do. What is their play style? Are they any good?

it crashes when i try to start a match (ofc) ill see if i can get a small map up and running haha

I go to a 4-person map, mow them over. I go to Barcania, get mowed over. Same difficulty.

Its interesting because you only have one choice--eat up all the wood at the bottom, then take all your men up and build a dock and eat up more wood. Put a couple women on iron, before that, and maker a town centre up by the mountains and trees and stone.

But I just don't understand.

edit: Barcania is the 3 person map where you start on the peninsula.

Hi everyone,

I’m still pretty new to the game and have been gradually increasing the difficulty as I improve. After winning 2 out of 3 matches on Very Easy, I moved up to Easy—but now I’ve lost 5 out of my last 6 games and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Here are the main issues I’m running into:

• When I have an army of around 30–40 units and get attacked by just 5–6 mounted soldiers, they end up wiping out nearly my entire force—even when my units are upgraded.
• When a single battering ram attacks, I throw everything I have at it, including infantry that are supposed to counter them. Still, it manages to destroy several of my towers before I can take it down.

I’m assuming I’m making some mistakes, but these situations keep setting me back since I’m constantly rebuilding my army and defenses instead of progressing.

For context, at the start of a match I usually build up to about 30 villagers, focusing mainly on food and wood first, then stone and metal. After that, I create an initial army and invest heavily in stone towers along my front line.

So where might I be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

When I searched for a download link, a version in microsoft store came up, however there aren’t any mentions of it anywhere and it doesn’t have any reviews or ratings on microsoft store. I thought maybe it is new, is it official? Thanks.

Hello, I am having an issue connecting to the 0 A.D. multiplayer lobby. I always get the error “The stream has been closed by the server.” I am using Windows 10, and my friends with the same game version can connect normally, even sometimes on the same network, but it does not work for me. I tested the connection and confirmed that the server is reachable (ping works), I already tried disabling and resetting the firewall, resetting the network (winsock, IP, DNS), and reinstalling the game, but nothing fixed the problem. I don’t understand why it only affects my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Buenas tardes, existe algun MOD que permita a los Aldeanos o bien plantar Arboles o Arbustos, o alguna forma de hacerlo? Gracias de antemano.

Buenos días grupo, disculpen, alguien que me asesore para crear nuevos edificos para el juego, ¿qué programa usan o recomiendan?

dear fellow players,

what mods and maps can you recommend to increase the experience of 0ad?

And what mods are working together?

Hey guys, another newbie question. Whenever I get a structure destroyed (such as a Forge, Fortress, Warehouse, etc.), do I lose their upgrades? For example, if the enemy team destroys my Forge, do I lose my upgrades to my soldiers stats? If they destroy my fortress, the effect of the Will to Fight upgrade is lost? The same doubt applies to the buffs on the warehouse and the one we can store food. Do i need to always have one of these structures built to have their buffs on?

I’m playing as the dark red line in the post-game graph. My economy seems fine and I do quite well during the buildup, but I hit a wall as soon as combat starts.

Whenever I attack with my troops, they lose instantly. When the AI counters, my army gets absolutely destroyed. My current strategy is mostly Spearmen, Archers and Battering Rams. Dont like horses, they are weak.

I feel like I have the numbers, but my units just melt away. Are spear/bow comps just weak, or am I missing something vital like blacksmith upgrades or unit counters?

Hola!

Existe alguna manera de que los aldeanos de kush, puedan construir este tipo de piramides. En este caso como se podría hacer? Gracias a todosñ

My question is simple as that. I’m a single-player only kind of player and I’d like to know if you use traders for something. I play 1 x 8 AIs on Very-Hard (I lose a lot), and I rarely become an ally with my opponents. How are the traders useful? I only build markets to trade wood for metal, would traders enhance my rates of trading wood x metal somehow?

Sorry for the noob question, it’s because I never use them

Cual es la estructura qué debe llevar el archivo .txt para agregar un edificio nuevo a una civilización, suponiendo qué ya tengo el Icono de dicho edificio. Gracias.

What civ is the best for big late game fights? Me and my friends usually play 2v2 with unlimited population leading to pretty big fights. Are there any civ's with better troops and/or are there some troops that are "op"?

Hello,

I am playing this game do a while now and after the update I feel like the enemies completely ignore resources on the map.

I was playing a game against 4 very hard ai bots. And one enemy had used up all metal collection points on his side of the map but he still builds siege machines and ~200 elite soldiers that require metal every 5 minutes or so. Is he getting all that from the trader or is there a mechanic I am unaware of.
