@wowgetoffyourcellphone@Stan` Or any of our active 0ad developer friends, I'd like you to test this mod and, if possible, add it to the base game. I welcome feedback for code/logic improvement; I created it with the intention of it being easy to use with any mod. The only detail is that the region filter only works with the civ.json file if the "Region" key is filled in.

Hey everyone! I made a simple mod for 0 A.D. that changes the civilization selection screen into a grid layout. No more scrolling through a single row – now you can see all civs at once and pick your favorite faster. Features: Clean grid display Works with vanilla and most modded civs Lightweight and easy to install Installation: Download the folder. Place it in ~...../mods/ (or your mods folder). Enable it in the mod manager. Launch and enjoy! Download: https://github.com/0ADMods/civ_grid Feedback is welcome! Let me know if you run into any issues.

So much quality content about this topic

@wzyas I think there are mods that already handle your first two points.   As usual, it would be nice for some, but not for others. I think this is an example of letting the game play for you, as discussed in:   I agree it would be nice to have this in the base game.   You didn't say what for, exactly. If, as @Grautvornix says, it's to let them regenerate, I'm always for adding little details that enhance realism and complexity, as long as micro and bloatedness is not unacceptably increased. The way I'd implement it is that after fruits are depleted, the fruitless bush/tree remains, and one can then gather its wood (which is otherwise ignored by those already gathering wood, thus, you'd need to manually order their cutting down), or choose to leave it and wait for fruit to appear again after some time. I'd do something similar with all renewable resources, but, again, these things have already been discussed, and there's some people that usually push back against these changes (see below, and read around, just use the search tool). I find "balance" considerations unconvincing since some general regeneration rate could be set as an option, and none to low values shouldn't affect present gameplay in any noticeable way (and high values shouldn't be that high, I see it more as a way to say "yes, this game takes this into account, unlike most RTS!").  

Thanks wzyas!  I particularly like your proposal #2 and #3:  #2: temporarily enlarge the minimap, e.g. double click on the minimap could open a window showing exclusively the map (enlarged), doule clicking again closes the sparate map windwo. #3: workes do not deplete berry bushes completely but leave a bit so they can re-generate. The same would apply to fishing boats.
