Ulrich Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is there a better tutorial out there? One immediate question is: when my soldiers are gathering food or wood etc. and the village is attacked, do they stop what they are doing and fight instead automatically?

LetswaveaBook Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 That is a good question. I always thought you had to order them manually to get fighting en masse. If you don't order them to fight, I suppose they are just collecting resources unless the unit itself is attacked. I don't know that for sure to be honest.

Ulrich Posted May 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Also, how do you build an army fast enough? I am new to this game. I start by gathering resources, and then the enemy comes and annihilates me.... Edited May 7, 2021 by Ulrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Get barracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 @Ulrich 1. Don't let anyone idle. All barracks and CC must always be training something. 2. Start building barracks at around minute 4-6 depending on your eco situation. 3. Train in the largest batch you can afford. 4. If you have extra wood and food then build another barracks. Aim to get 2 -3 built before town phase. 5. Once you have 2 or more barracks train in batches of equal sizes across all of your buildings. (4skirms in barrack+ 4 skirms in CC is better than 7 skirms in CC and 1 in barrack) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every soldier spawns in aggressive stance hence why they stop collecting , i sugest putting them in defensive or even passive . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetswaveaBook Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I think Yekaterina has said some helpful things, but I suppose execution is your problem. When you start the game, be as quick as you can to select your Civic center and train some units. U can use the hotkey z for training women. Then put all your units to work. When you have done so, select your Civic center and press ctrl+1, now you can access your CC by pressing 1 on your keyboard. It is important to play with one hand on the keyboard and pressing 1 often to see if your CC is idle. Also, as mentioned use batch training. In order to do so, select a building and press the shift button. Now you can train units in groups, which is faster. By using the mouse wheel you can vary the batch sizes. Pro tip: Don't be a girl who forgets eco upgrades. Don't know where I heard that before. Edited May 7, 2021 by LetswaveaBook See post on the move fields away topic.

Sometimes I just think that certain upgrades are not worth their cost. But yeah, I will try to research everything to level 1 and if I have spare metal then I will fully upgrade.

Player of 0AD Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Aggressive soldiers will keep collecting/building/repairing even when enemies are right next to them. They will fight back when they are attacked, but this doesn't help too much in many situations. If the aggressive soldiers soldiers are standing around or patrolling, they will fight when they see an enemy. If they are defensive, they will walk to the enemy only if they get close like 50% of sight range or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakara Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 select all unit and press H for they stop collect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 @Ulrich You can also queue actions. If I'm invaded I like my soldiers to drop off their resources and then attack. (The dropped off resources might help with new buildings or troops, while when soldiers are killed carrying stuff you not only lose it, but the enemy also gets more loot.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 a while ago we saw this problem, but i dont know its implemented. Call to the arms. With a single shortcut you can select all military units at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clavz Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I’ll link some good guides on how to get better. Some are related to older versions of the game, but the basics are still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
