    • @Itms @wowgetoffyourcellphone So I have been using this mod myself https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/better-ui . You can  see the enemy coming more often or assign movement orders for your units by clicking on it. Also it's possible to spot individual units. The vanilla minimap is simply to small to be practical on my laptop screen and shift+tab isn't as useful. I finally got around to making this simple patch to stop errors from appearing whenever you join a game, load a replay or switch player perspective as observer. Apply this to gui/session/minimap/MiniMap.xml and remove the MiniMap.xmb cache file in the better-ui mod. I also put it on mod.io because I wanted to try out: https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/bigger-minimap?preview=c38141bfc679f84051c3c17f7a978c23 minimap.patch
    • This is the most important thing. Your GPU overheats and crashes the system because of excess render cycles that are just wasted energy. Especially if you have more than adequate hardware. You can't even notice more than 60 frames, this isn't a FPS game.
    • One additional point: these kernel parameters combined with some experimental kernels (namely CachyOS BORE) will stress the GPU to the extent of becoming unstable. It is somewhat likely to crash your entire OS mid-game if you stress your GPU too much. You can switch to Linux-LTS for more stability at the cost of some performance. But if you don't want to change kernels, my advice: 1. Make sure your GPU cooling is sufficient and temperatures are low. You might need to manually adjust the fans (I kept it at 100% while gaming and the crash didn't happen; the default fan curve was not ideal) 2. Throttle the maximum fps in your game settings options: Vsync = on Menu maximum fps = 60 Game maximum fps = whatever your screen offers, or 120fps (generally enough). 3. Cancel overclocks or turbo mode for stability.  4. Some AMD cards draw more power than a PCIE power supply is designed to give. If it has 2x 8-pin connectors, plug in 2 different PCIe cables from the power supply, not from the same one cable with a splitter.  5. If game still crashes on Vulkan, lower graphics settings.   Fortunately, 0ad is not a very big GPU destroyer. Some Steam games when run with proton crashes the system in just a few minutes. 
    • Ah, the hidden "Naga" civilization!  
    • The famous sea peoples! Would it be possible that the game skips invalid options instead of throwing an error at the user?
    • The map is designed for two teams. If you try 3 teams on stronghold or river, you get people in the water.
