The first thing I noticed was the heavy flickering and lagging of the graphics under my Intel video, so I was forced to switch to another PC of mine which much better video in order to test the game and even there the lagging appeared after approximately 30 mins of playing. Graphics and settings are the two aspects of 0.A.D. They are plenty of maps from which one can choose, however quite a lot of them are tied to scenarios. A neat bonus worth mentioning is the ability to construct siege walls to circumvallate enemy cities in enemy territory.

Romans – they are able to train the Hastatus – the strongest swordsman in the game as well as construct the most powerful siege equipment.

Their buildings are also the strongest in the game. They are also the only civilization that is able to train all forms of cavalry, including cavalry archers in the form of scythe chariots. Having said that they have the strongest and naturally the most expensive cavalry in the game. Relying on a wide variety of weak and poorly-equipped troops from their vassal satrapies, will get you nowhere, so the Persians depend heavily on the quantity of the troops, than on their quality.

Persians – They are the most cosmopolitan civilization and they strongly emphasis the economy.

Some of their ranged units have the unique ability to fire flaming missiles. Their foot units are some of the fastest and most rapid-firing in the game, especially their Balearic Slingers.

Iberians – They have the strongest metal weaponry due to the Toledo steel.

Their Hoplities have the phalanx formation which makes the almost invulnerable when attacked from the front.

Hellenes – their buildings and triremes are strong, their technologies – cheaper.The buildings that they constructs are wooden, which makes them fast to build and inexpensive, but also far less robust than the stone buildings of the other civilizations Celts – they are excellent in hand-to-hand combat, however they navy and siege are not really their thing.Notable units are the War Elephant and the Sacred Band Carthaginians– they have strongest navy and the best trade.Towers needs units to be garrisoned inside them so they can have attack points, etc. also act differently compared to those in Age of Mythology – farms are bigger and one can task multiple villagers to gather food from one farm, also they don’t exist for a limitless amount of time. You civilians are only able to build some kind of buildings (non-military) and gather resources. your military units can not only fight enemy units, but can also gather resources and build (all kinds of) buildings.

is pretty much like the game-play of any RTS out there – you’ve got the mini-map in the bottom left, the resources are shown on a bar on the bottom of the screen, double clicking on a unit will select all units of this type in proximity, rally points are set by selecting the building and than right-clicking somewhere on the map where you want the rally point to be, tasking a unit to perform an action is executed by selecting a unit then right clicking on the enemy you want your unit to attack.Īll straightforward RTS gaming tropes that are great to have. Undeterred by the development nature I took the title for a spin… The game, which is in heavy development, currently sits at the Alpha 8 junction.
