Why is the 0 A.D community so small?

[Tapothei]

To answer why 1000+ active to this day, Its a possibility but lets say Single Players like myself playing the game are just having fun. I'm playing through the scenario currently, its a campaign by itself~ just a casual player. When I complete all, then I migrate to skirmish, multiplayer is the main quest that I'll forget. Afterword explore side quest jank mods.

Anyways the reason the community is small in my opinion is simply because few people are interested in RTS and in certain genre. I couldn't get myself into BAR because its mechanoid and modern, there is competition, AOE 2 pulled lots of people in. Then there is many choice to pick ones poison like Kenshi, Rimworld, Factoria where [strategy, thinking] exist. Even if you added many things like campaign, mechanic, factions and etcs, the niche of this community might still grow at a slow pace.

At last I know no future, but I'll say this, the game is put with genuinity, I prefer unchiseled unexpectency over an expensive mineral. Hear COH1 voice lines and sound effect, their roughness is gone on their next sequal.
