And what does it look like? I imagine a concept where the ships have a symbolic crew.

Did an update and added a ship captain, which someone suggested (I think @Nicolaus_von_Kues). I would like some help with this, so if anybody wants to, just say so 

One thing I've found, I think Spartans are actually better than Romans. Maybe that is just with my strategy though

Ave! To get into the game, you could: slow down time lower the AI difficulty (via the cog when setting up a match) adjust the behavior of the AI, so you can get some folks working, build a few huts etc before the enemy annihilates you.   Don't hesitate to ask questions, I'm sure you'll get helpful replies. glhf

Welcome, @HELIOZAH! I recommend checking out this basic economy guide by ValihrAnt, who is one of the best (if not the best) 0 A.D. players. He happens to play Romans in the video! Although it was made for an older version of the game, the fundamental concepts it teaches still apply perfectly to the current version.  You can also check out these channels for some fairly competitive multiplayer matches: https://www.youtube.com/@sneakep https://www.youtube.com/@0ADNewbieRush   And if you want to watch live gameplay from another one of the best players in the community, you can check out this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaidRdzRTS Although there's no commentary, you can still learn a lot just by watching his technique! Good luck!
