The first release of 0 A.D. that doesn't have an Alpha label attached, as the free and open source RTS has grown up with their faster release schedule.

I really want to play this game but I am having trouble to see high DPI the games load with a tiny tiny font for me. I am using Linux Mint

The config file has some settings that might help

https://github.com/0ad/0ad/blob/master/binaries/data/config/default.cfg

Such as

scale = 1.0                       ; GUI scaling factor, for improved compatibility with 4K displays

And maybe

; Enable Hi-DPI where supported, currently working only for testing.
hidpi = false

Finally

; Force a particular resolution. (If these are 0, the default is
; to keep the current desktop resolution in fullscreen mode or to
; use 1024x768 in windowed mode.)
xres = 0
yres = 0

Thanks. I will try that.

0AD has generted more excitement in the RTS space, for me, than the initial release of 'The Ancient Art of War'.

Try it out, if just for the late-game seige engines.

0 A.D. is a solid one, def give it a good try. I go back to it every so often for multiplayer skirmishes.

Haven't played it in a year or two, I wonder if the 'high unit count lag' in multiplayer is gone.
