0 A.D. Alpha 25: Yaunā

This game is awesome. I also love that they have support for reinforcement learning[1]. I wish all the research in RL and video games was on open source games. Slight bias on my end. :)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trac.wildfiregames.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;GettingStartedReinforcementLearning" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trac.wildfiregames.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;GettingStartedReinforcem...</a>

Nice of them to include torrents, and I long for the day when the browser speaks it natively, choosing to seed for as long as the page stays open, as a good start<p>I like both the tone and the content of the torrent FAQ page they made, too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play0ad.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;bittorrent-faq&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play0ad.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;bittorrent-faq&#x2F;</a>

This game changed my mind about what is possible for an open source game.<p>I&#x27;m also wondering when they will stop calling it alpha.

Hats off to the 0ad team. It is a great game with a fun AI to play against. Give it a try - however, it is pretty addicting.<p>Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install 0ad

This is one of my favorite games. It&#x27;s what AOE III should have been.<p>I still think there should be some kind of Kaggle competition for training AI on this game.

We always see Hellenized &#x2F; Romanized versions of other lands (e.g. &quot;Persia&quot;, &quot;India&quot;, &quot;Africa&quot;) so it&#x27;s nice to see the release nickname reference the eastern name for Ionia.

I should give it a try again, last time the AI beat me so badly every try...

I liked it a lot, however to me after the earliest scenarios it becomes really hard even at lowest difficulty levels, so I pretty much gave up on it until the low difficulty lower levels become playable by non gamers like me.<p>A very different, way simpler, but easier and still enjoyable game is Megaglest. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MegaGlest" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MegaGlest</a><p>The homepage seems dead these days though. I hope they didn&#x27;t abandon the project.

Contrary to what some people might say, there was no zeroth year.

Does someone know of a clone in paradox style?

Can someone recommend a game that has challenging AI? An example would be Starcraft 2.
