i like your 3rd idea. i would also like to be able to know what your enemy civ is, if you can find out already then please tell me how because i find myself not knowing what civilisation im fighting against and what they are strong at. the 1st idea i think its kinda good that we dont have building snapping but tahts just my opinion, i like the different placement instead of Aoe 2 beacuse it is easier in aoe 2 but it makes you think more in 0ad about what your doing and how you need to be more aware, also its cool that you can place crop fields almost on top of eatchother and that means you have more of them around your cc instead of on Aoe 2, but thats just my opinion
