Switched from Debian to Xubuntu: Minimap Icons Missing in 0 A.D.

Hey everyone,

I recently switched from Debian to Xubuntu, and since then, the minimap in 0 A.D. has become quite minimalist and is missing some key details. Specifically:

  • Resource icons
  • Civic center icons
  • Territory markers

I find myself constantly panning across the map instead of relying on the minimap, which is super frustrating.

On Debian, everything was working perfectly, with clear icons and territory boundaries. I suspect it might be a settings issue or something related to the system switch.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any tips to get those features back?

Thanks in advance!

Should the Civilizations of 612 B.C.E. be added in the game?

Considering the modern-day significance of 612 B.C.E. civilizations like Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites, Medians, Anatolians, Native Egyptians, etc. As well as in order to make the game more complete and with more content.

Edit: as well as Israel and Judah.

Should Babylonians and Assyrians be added in the game?

I know that Mesopotamia was occupied by Persia in 500 BCE. But considering the historical significance of Babylonians and Assyrians, as well as the revolts made by Babylonians and Assyrians, as well as the fact the game also have screenshots based on Babylonians/Assyrians, should they be added on 0 A.D.?

World map

I have been playing this game for years, one thing bothers me every time I return to it.

Why are the maps so small? Why is the game so short termed, and what is it that prevents developers from adding a giant-giant-giant map?

Why can't you give me a mega map with 100 islands and then just let me play one game for 10 days?

Or even better, creating a world map

Should Olympus A.D. (The FOSS version of Age of Mythology) become an actual game?

Considering it would have more pantheons than on Age of Mythology retold, like Anunnaki, Tuatha de Danann, Slavic gods, Baltic gods, Finno-Estonian gods, Devas, Kamis, Chinese Gods, Polynesian gods, Inca gods, South American gods, Mesoamerican gods, North American gods, Orishas, Zulu gods, Abrahamic religions etc.

And also it would have maps set on divine/supernatural worlds like Olympus, Nine Worlds, Svarga, Aaru, Underworld, An-An, Heaven, Paradise etc.

New player here, is there a way to remove the border you can build in?

Having trouble with the concept of only building within my borders and when i upgrade my civic center they only expand by a tiny bit. Is there a way to remove the border in settings or a modification?

Can someone point out the major changes in unit balance in A26 vs A25?

This is a comment from a forum user LetsWaveaBook and as a matter a fact i quit 0 ad due to the prevelence of one type of army comp, the fact that turtling = booming and that there are no hard counters besides spears beating cav. As of now, are javelineers still the most advanced ballistic system in 0ad?

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.

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.

Ty for taking your time to answer
