From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can beat easy AI, but theres like 60% chance I'll lose on normal.
@TwinTusks How does it go ? Is it that you get overrun by a larger army ? Or you have trouble maintaining your economy ?
#0AD #games
I noticed that I'm not good with mid/late games. I win easily if I rush the enemy. However, I like to build up when I'm in the lead, but I am not good at it.
Chances are, I spend a lot of time treating the game as city builder and when AI rushes, my army are too spread out. And when I'm rushing, I can't keep up with the reinforcements, so when my wave was blocked, I'm bascially sitting ducks as AI would slowly encroaching my base.
@TwinTusks Do you research economics/military upgrades enough ? Do you build siege engines/elephant ?
Usually for me the rule of thumb is :
- no unit that does nothing
- no building that produces nothing (i.e., try to never get popcapped and always produce, so you need to have all the resources you need to produce)
I understand, however, I noticed that during mid-game I tends to treat the game as city-builder and be more relaxing. Thus, "no unit that does nothing" and "no building produces nothing" doesnt seem fun to me, and the reason why I'm being overwhelmed by the AI.
