Female Citizens with stronger attack?

I thought it would be interesting, when researching "The Loom", if there were 2 options to choose from similar to choosing which champion to unlock. One option increases the female citizens health like it does now, and the other option increases the female citizens attack, essentially, you'd have to option to choose between better health or better attack strength. What would make it really interesting, is if certain civilizations, instead of just gaining stronger attack, female citizens gained a better weapon.

How to install 0ad? Ubuntu 24.04

Hi, How can I install 0ad on Ubuntu 24.04? The snap package does not use the AMD driver, so the framerate is very poor. On the other hand adding the repo does not work either. Because there is no 0ad package in the repo any more. Just 0ad-data and 0ad-data-common… BR and thanks! Mathias

I wish to play the nightly version of the game by downloading the precompiled game. But the instructions given cofuses me.

From Gitea website

"A precompiled, ready-to-play development version of the game is available from a checkout of the nightly-build SVN repository. If you are using the git repository, you have to follow the steps below."

What do I have to click and where is it?

How do you build additional Civic Centers?

Sometimes there seems to be a limit of 1 whatever faction I play (I know some of them are limited to 1). I don’t understand what allows me sometimes to build more.

Especially for heavy maps, at high graphics and population. i5/i9? 8gb/16gb ram? 2gb/8gb gpu?

How to change the gui font-face to sans-serif?

From the first time I found this game I like it, but the font used is annyoing me since then.

The font used on gui is serif with outline (white/grey) which looks ugly and blurry. I would like to use clean san-serif to have a clean and well readable gui without scaling up the gui itself.

How to change the gui font-face to sans-serif?

... and optionally how to turn off the outline of it?

Thanks!

0AD on Steam Deck?

Hey yall! Does someome here know anything about running the game on Deck? I know its on the Discover store but that's not maintained by the devs. I went to.the 0aD site but being clueless as I am about Linux in general was quite confused.

My main reason for being interested in the game is down to one specific mod I've followed for years, way before it jumped to 0AD and rebranded: Hyrule Conquest. Been interested in it since its heyday as a Total War II mod (Hyrule Total War). I had the flatpak version installed before but could not figure out how I could get it to install the Conquest mod.

If anyone here can teach me anything about installing the game on Deck and/or installing external mods w the Flatpak version, I'd very much appreciate it.

Are there religion in this game within its gameplay?

Hi, I wanted to ask if there is any significance or mention of religion within the gameplay of this game. I didnt like building or destroying churches, temples, mosques, synagogues etc in age of empires games and wanted one without any mention of any religion at least within the gameplay. Ty for taking your time to answer

Delenda est mod and AI Farms

I haven't done a full match already, but I noticed the AI doesn't build farms, isn'it it very unbalanced? Does it get food in other ways?

There are a lot of cool quotes at the start of the games. Where is the file they are located in so I may peruse them at my leisure.

Japan Civ

So, I was talking about having a Japan civ in the game (I was playing Ghost of Tsushima just before that, sooo yeah), and he suggested I make a "Mods corporation/ Japan Mods Corp" for it, since i know nothing about coding myself (except only for pirating purposes). Does anybody want a Japan civ?

Is there a Leaderboard in 0 A.D?

I wanted to know what my global ranking was in 0 A.D and what the highest rating is. Just to gauge myself. But there was no feature I could find that does that.

Does the leaderboard exist? How do I find it? If no? Why not? That's one of the most important part of a multiplayer game right? Seeing how you rank up compared to the rest of the players.

The Hard Bot is not quitting even when all its troops are dead.

I have captured all his civic centers, destroyed all its buildings and even placed a civic center that would make me own the entire map. None of its troops are alive (As far as I can see) and its still going on. The game has been staying this way for the past 15 minutes.

Any ideas on why this could be happening?

Why is the 0 A.D community so small?

I don't get it. It has everything that a good Real Time Strategy game need. Its fun to play with friends and random people. Yet, there aren't many big youtube channels dedicated to this game. Even the subreddit has only a couple thousand members. Don't get me wrong, I love the community. They are some of the least toxic and most helpful RTS players I know. But darn it would be so much better if it was a bit more bigger. 

The major reason I could think of is poor marketing. I did not know that this game existed 2 months ago, the main reason being there is no advertisements or any promotions for the game. Which would make sense since the game is open source. Can we raise some money using fundraiser to promote the game. I feel like that could snowball into a wider playerbase.

Start new match - "Victorious! You have won! Do you want to quit?" How fix?

Hi, I just started playing last night. When trying to play a new single player match, no matter what map I use, it keeps starting with "Victorious! You have won! Do you want to quit?" How do I fix this?

Fixed: My last game was 3 v 3 and the others were all less than 4 players... so everyone was on team 1 lolz
