Nowadays, I always play against Hard Balanced AI. I've tried playing against the Hardest, but found no major difference in difficulty. There's also Petra Expert AI mod if you need more challenge. The AI gets bonus gathering speed at levels greater than Medium. It also trains larger armies more quickly. However, you will beat it easily if you're a decent player. -
Linux Download page is still not working, btw: https://play0ad.com/download/linux/ If someone wants to look at the code to start modding I assume you can start here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/BuildInstructionsGettingTheCode ? Is that right? -

I always play by myself with the computer opponent. Therefore, delenda est is particularly interesting to me because it offers many development options and more building alternatives. It's certainly been discussed before, but it's a shame that the Roman legionaries aren't able to throw the pilum. For example, you could switch it around like with the Immortals. Easy for me, as a non-programmer, to say. It would, however, make the history more accurate. The Romans were the absolute world power in ancient times, also based on this tactic. Likewise, military camps are inferior to the military colonies of the Phoenicians or Seleucids. It's the same with shipping; galleys were both capable of long-range weapons; above a certain size, they had long-range weapons on board and could ram or board ships. Of course, I don't want to dictate anything to the other players; I like the authenticity of the figures and the painstaking attention to detail, and the gameplay isn't that important to me. I would also like to have optional raider gangs or pirate ships, in addition to treasure. That's why I particularly like the Danubius map. This way, everyone can shape their game the way they want. Otherwise, I really like the game... please never stop... -
Finally won 1v7 on againt very hard AI with open map. Earlier used ibr to play xd. Was hard but nothing is impossible with gauls, given you can spam fanatcis then switch to melee champ cavs. @SaidRdz, @Player of 0AD, thats how to you do it -
I played a lot of lame games against AI but now I begin to understand how to make 0ad games more interesting. So I'd like to ask what settings players use to make their AI games interesting ? The problem I have is that too little AIs make the game boring, but too much make their first attack nearly impossible to repel without cheating, so in both cases the gameplay is boring. I guess that some cheating may be fine against more than 3 opponents (all allied; games against non-allied opponents are too random) but I don't know which exactly will make the game fun (basically, some wood with "bring me my axe" to get some palisades in order to survive the first attack and then counter-attack I guess, but how much would be reasonable ?). -
Honestly, Roman elephants dont sit right with me. Elephants never played a significant role in Roman victories (or defeats) AFAIK. We have civilizations which lack basic units like infantry javelins, not because they never used them but because they never played a significant role for them (i mean all civs have spears someone must have figured out to throw it). Romans are already diverse and they will neither gain from having elephants nor lose from not having them. -
A merc elephant would be great As a thought experiment I would assume a full metal cost, which going off the smaller African elephant would be 450 metal in total after converting food cost to metal. Given training is faster, and also knowing the limited acquisition that Rome has from Numidia, I would run with the elephant stables but cap it at 1 or maybe 2 buildings, that way production should be slower than other civs who could spam like four or five elephant stables so they can mass them fast. A cool side affect would be that now a Roman player could use captured elephant stables, which would be a fun niche feature.
