Field worker limit and Acropolis level diffifculty

[TenLeftFingers]

I notice that I find workers just standing in the field not doing anything. Is there a limit to how many can be active or is it a bug? I don't see anything about this in the manual. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Manual_Buildings

 

Also, I get very badly beaten every time I play 0ad (the Acropolis level). I try to create population and gather resources as quickly as possible. I try to build a barracks as soon as possible to make the population quality fighters. Are there any tips for this scenario?

 

Thanks!

The number of limited workers, who working on field is 5. Other units do nothing if they go on field when the field is occupied by 5 workers. Build more fields for good food economy or build stables and get meat by cavalery units (gather boni).

Hello, 

current Ai is a bit hard even in easy difficulty, but it should be better in next release.

Thank you Hidan & Angen.

 

I like this explanation since it means I am not so bad at this game
