I have tone of wood stone etc but drastically short of food. The farms do not yield enough - the fishes have all been caught and no fruit left. I cannot appear to be able to purchase food.

Well - i'm frustrated. I had more people in my team than the computer AI (easy) and three civic centres. Persian. I harvested load sof food through the coral and thought I had a great army to defend myself. I had archers in the fortress and in the towers. a good 20-30. Then after 30 mins they came.... Two blooming elephants that were indestructable by any means yet they walked through my whole colony in less than ten minutes. I have played for hours at this and have concluded it is not possible to defend. The opponent AI (Easy balanced) seems to have no corals yet they have loads of food and wood. My elephants die as soon as a warrior looks at it yet theirs is a Mike Tyson of beasts and a whole army does not even bruise its ego. Is there any way I can save my game afterwards and post the game somewhere so someone can tell me where I am going wrong? I don't understand all the numbers in the charts in a lot of cases but I know I have loads of wood and meatal and stone. Is there also a tutorial letting me know the benefits of markets. Are the resources on the board available globally to the other Civic group. And finally what in earth is the econimis model..... Oh I am so frustrated - its about 15-nil to them at the moment! Terry

If this is in the wrong area - I apologise, please redirect me to the correct place. Ive been playing games like Cossacks for years and won, I cannot however get anywhere with 0ad. I have tried 30 mins peacetime but in this time I cannot expand outside my boundaries, run short of resources, cannot build troops whereas the opponent spreads all over the map and outnumbers me in troops. I tried the Acropolis map and get started with basic 5 women collecting food, 5 workers each on wood, stone and iron. I build 5 houses, a farmstead with a field and a storehouse then I fall short of resources and it goes downhill from there...

I have two screens on my setup and wonder if there was any way the view could be spread across both to give a wider view of the playing area. many thanks

I have several times downloaded the torrent for 0AD but each time my Norton Internet Security removes it because it has detected a threat called PUA_Superflus No idea what this is but it kills the file every time. Can you let me know what this is and remove the issue from the executable installer please Terry
