albertus: This is currently a bit of a problem as the AI easy mode is still too strong. There is currently no real "dumb" AIs though you can try playing with testbot. To play with tesbot, go to binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/ai/testbot/, open data.json, and remove the "hidden": true line (you will have to remove the comma at the end of the line before that one.)

Testbot should be much easier to play against.

If it's still too strong, I recommend you get used to the game without AIs first.

Making the easy mode easier is however planned, and there should be an easier AI in Alpha 14.

Thanx, I'll try it.

Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question. I'm newbe here and also fair beginner in playing 0ad. I wanted to learn playing this game against AI oponent but every setting I tried was too hard for me. I tried both qBot and Aegis Bot on the easy level and it always quickly ended with massacre caused by periodically attacking hordes of the AI opponent's armies. I've been trying this in 1 x 1 scenario (Belgian Bog) and even when I have been training units, gathering resources and building infrastructure as quickly as I was capable, there was no way to defend neither even prarticulaly succeed in an attack. All the stats have shown that AI was at least twice as quick than I was capable in all the game activities. When I chose Scaredy Bot, it surrendered at the gamestart instantly. I haven't find a scenario map so far which can be played against Tutorial Bot.

Is there a way to set the game in order to be able to play against AI on the beginner level - that means user friendly level for learning all the features and having enough time to build stronger economy and infrastructure and train an army which is not supposed to be outnumbered and massacred by the first few opponent's attacks...?
