This game started slow for me many years ago but I now absolutely love this game. Not just because of all the open source effort that has gone into it, because of the strategy. You have to make yourself vulnerable to get stronger.
Wanna grow fast? Train workers who can't fight, but are resource efficient to make. Risk being badly weakened if getting attacked, for the benefit of the workers giving you much more resources to then raise an army.
Also watch out for the elephants!
Ya I don't really get elephants. They seem way too strong and always win. What is the effective elephant-counter?
When was the last time you played 0ad? Each release brings new changes to balancing and especially a27 contained a lot of them.
I played whatever is in the Debian 13 repos.
As far as I remember, elephants have always felt overpowered to me. Could be lack of skill on my part.
