Today I play In Sena River, the map easily have plenty of metal. Is a new map for A21. You have enough metal to share with 4 players (in 6 player size),
Players can reach 3 phase easily needs be more hard may be based in territory control or outpost / territory
in AOM is hard the late game with 13000-20000 of gold. In 0AD is more simple because you have more workers and plenty of resources /barter system and trading carts.
Spies is disabled in Deathmatch mode due to the massive amount of starting gold each player has.
In Regicide games, Spies is disabled. It is replaced by Treason.
@wowgetoffyourcellphone I'm not sure but the other day I ear Mayorcete says the technology have variance cost by number of outposts in the game, he don't specific if enemy or yours.
Do you can make the animation of torchs ? ( the Vikings wasn't the only Civilization to burn buildings with torchs) the vanilla game needs a lot animations and mechanics.
