I have been seeing so many new players getting discouraged to play 0ad since in good games they are avoided. It is understandable and i myself exclude them too from the most games i host cuz everyone wants to have a good game and new players are hard to balance with. I try to explain them nicely they should host new player games and they wont enjoy getting rushed left and right in OP games. But i feel bad and obvio want to help them get better and want to help them integrate into the community easily.
So, i was thinking if we could make some scenario maps with rating points reward system for the new and weak players to understand the basic game mechanisms. For example, level 1 could be an easy build order for eco, they will get instructions and if they can do that they can get 5 rating points, level 2 could be how to stay calm in early cav rush and defend if they do it well 10 points and so on. I don't know if devs will implement this reward points features, but i will check the scenario builders out was thinking might try to build something with the basics i know and if new players do it i will just give them some of my points by resigning a rating game. If all the good players make scenarios with their OP strats and gives some of their points to encourage new players i think we will have lots of good players to enjoy the game with. What yall think?
