no-gather for 0 A.D. for Windows

No-Gather is a modification for the strategy game 0 A.D. designed to change the way players manage resources. By removing traditional gathering mechanics, it introduces a time-based resource accumulation system. Players start with a consistent influx of resources—54 wood, 54 food, 6 stone, and 16 metal every five seconds—which increases as they progress through different phases of the game. The resource rates multiply by 1.3 in Phase 2 and 1.5 in Phase 3, encouraging players to adapt their strategies as the game evolves.

This mod requires players to rethink their resource management tactics, as they cannot collect resources directly. Instead, they must rely on passive accumulation and trade, particularly using merchant ships in naval scenarios. Additionally, the random map generation is modified to feature fewer trees and limited stone or metal mines, further altering gameplay dynamics. Overall, No-Gather provides a novel twist on resource management in 0 A.D.
