What Games Speed Are You Comfortable With

Play normal speed (1x).

There is plenty to pay attention to in 0 A.D. at 1x speed.  If you play on a higher speed, you'll miss out on it.

Good players who choose to boom their economy can reach age III with around 120 population by 12 minutes into the game, starting from low resources without treasures.  If you can't do that yet, then there is still plenty for you to click on and look at, at 1x speed.

To be honest I often choose one of the slowest game speeds. I play the game more for optimizations (e.g. winning without losing a single unit) than just for fun and I'm really bad at multitasking. This is also the reason why I don't really play multiplayer (observing is interesting though). It's like a kind of chess where more time to think and react leads to less errors.

0.1x for pure optimization (and unit microing during a huge battle)
0.25x when building up economy
0.5x for late game when everything is set up and no huge threats can be expected

0.75x feels like the most realistic game speed to me

I'm not very good at multi-tasking either. At least, not nearly as good as other RTS players. I've only played the game at 1x so far, and have played several multi-player games. I'm 5 (losses) for 5 in 1v1 matches.

Now, I'm enjoying good sleep with Airsnore and the game at Normal Speed. But I watch my replays on slower speeds, and (along with seeing my mistakes) it's like watching movies! 

I'm even wondering that it would look like if my hardware can max out the graphics.

1.25x for me. Sometimes just 1x. Anything below just feels way to slow for my adhd. :-)
