Title screen -> Learn to Play -> Tips and Tricks or binaries/data/mods/public/maps/tutorials/ The chevrons above the units' heads signify (from single to triple) basic, advanced and elite rank; they go along with increasing attack and HP values and decreasing gathering speeds. (Since this site's search function is phenomenally terrible I don't know if there's a good overview somewhere.)

yes sir!

Single player, you resumed the game from a save? Replays can't handle that.

This is so genuinely useful feature. Unfortunately, I think almost nobody will use it the way it was intended. Besides me, I doubt many players will have dozens of configurations saved. Most will either never use it, or they'll end up with exactly one saved setup: Mainland, Circle Placement, Temperate, 4v4, Low Res, 200 Max Pop. What's even more telling is that Feldmap was given a special feature for a specific group of players so they can Shuffle Positions, yet it is never used. (And is not because is a bad feature, but because of user error.) I think I finally understand why some developers become defensive when some of us suggest improvements. A lot of users are like customers of certain tech brands: they just complain that things are bad, but never take the time to learn how to use the tools, features and options already available to them. 0 A.D. offers an incredible amount of variety: different maps, biomes, placements, civilizations, victory conditions, strategies, and historical settings. There is a huge amount of work and detail behind it. So I want to take this opportunity to thank the developers for creating such a great game with so many possibilities. My impression is that most players have no idea how much content and variety they actually have at their fingertips.
