Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Thank-you for responding. I looked at (https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide), which could serve as a good starting point. Attempting to follow-up on this did not work-out. I should mention that I am using Linux Mint and I installed 0 A.D. as a flatpak on my desktop computer. When I went to look for the following directories/files: mod/art/textures/cursors/default-arrow.png, in-game cursors are inside public/art/textures/cursors, these directories/files were non-existent. Additionally, there was no directory: binaries/data/mods/. This may or may not be a consequence of using the flatpak version of 0 A.D.

Can the size and color of the cursor be customized? I have poor vision. Consequently I keep "losing" the cursor. To improve its visibility, I would like to make the cursor bigger and to change its color.

I established a Klēroukhia Military Colony near some resources. The Klēroukhia was not near the enemy. After the resources were exhausted I abandoned the structure. I left the Klēroukhia, as is. Out of curiosity, any benefit to demolishing the Klēroukhia once it became "useless"?

Not a question concerning the strength of a fortress, but the acquisition of experience points by units through training. Fortresses, due to their size and purpose would seem to offer more training opportunities than barracks and stables.

Do they even have opportunities to gain experience?

I would like to suggest, as an enhancement, that units gain experience in a fortress. Additionally, that fortress have an enhanced experience benefit, such as 2X what is obtained in the barracks.

Garrisoned units gain experience in certain buildings. I'm using the Selecuids as the example. These buildings include the: barracks, stable, and elephant stable. The narrative for each of these buildings includes the phrase: "Units gain experience while garrisoned inside the building". I assume that means any and all units gain experience inside any building that allows for that. Meaning that a Romanized Heavy Swordsman would gain experience in an elephant stable and an elephant would gain experience in a barracks. Is that assumption correct? Surprisingly, fortresses don't offer gaining experience points. Seems like they should. Where do women and healers gain experience points?

Interesting. Thanks.

For each unit there are two status bars. The top one shows the units health.. What does the bottom one display? I noticed that the "healers" could restore a unit, going from red back to green (top status bar). However, I did not notice any change on the bottom status bar.

We have no problem connecting on our home LAN, where we are in the same house. What we have been attempting to accomplish is to connect from two different locations about 150 miles (241 Kilometers) apart. That is the reason for attempting to use the public internet address obtained from https://www.whatismyip.com/ . Just tried it as an experiment. Anyway, the lobby worked. Problem solved.

The short answer; success, we made an internet connection through the lobby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The longer answer. When I first experimented with using the lobby, I may not have set a server password. Overlooked it???? Anyway this time I made sure to set the password, my daughter successfully joined the game with that password. Didn't see anyone else attempt to join. That is the process we use on our local home LAN. When I used https://www.whatismyip.com/ to get my internet IP address, my daughter was not able to join. She received the error message that "this is often caused by UDP port 20595 not being forwarded on the host side, by a firewall or anti-virus software". For a quick test, turned off the firewall, but she was still not able to make a connection. Very helpful. Thank-you for responding.

My daughter and I would like to play a multiplayer game using the Game Lobby. Is it possible to create a "private" game? In exploring how to do this, I did not see any option. Additionally, others were attempting to join. Hopefully, I did not irritate anyone.

Thanks. We started over this AM. It only took two of use to beat the AI on easy!!!

Unfortunately, it got extremely late so we saved the multiplayer game being played over a local LAN to be resumed in the AM. We can see the saved game, we don't see an option for how to resume it. How do we resume play?
