Jack Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi, my name is Jack and I just played my first game of 0 A.D. I really love what I'm seeing! However, the game resulted in my being absolutely demolished in 24 minutes. (This may have something to do with me spending the first 5 mins. looking at how cute the little people are.) I was wondering if anyone wanted to give me some tips? Also, does anyone have an IP I can connect to for an online game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigal Son Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Welcome Jack:) Your defeat could be what you said, or you can always lower the AI difficulty if you retry and still get beaten. Do you have any previous experience with other RTS games?You can join the multiplayer lobby for online games, from the game menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The AI gathers resources and builds up very quickly, you can't waste any time. Just gather food and wood at first, that's what you need to advance to Town phase. If you do that and create troops as fast as you can, you can just survive the first attack wave - or you can buy more time by making 10 missile units first thing and rushing them across the map. Stay out of range of the enemy civic center, kill as many of their resource gatherers as you can.Once you reach Town phase you can build defense towers, use those to strengthen your defense.

barul Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hello Jack I would say the same thing Prodigal Son did, it happened to me too (I'm like 4-5 days old on 0 A.D.).The best thing you can do at the beginnning is to lower the AI level to get used to the game's mechanisms (I once played in medium difficulty, I've been crushed in less than 10 minutes)...

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Explore the map, in multiplayer the first movement of enemy player is build A CivicCentrer near or your territory in order to train a big an army and send to destroy your base before you can defender it. Other use the territory as advantage and use houses as wall around cvc or close all entrances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
