Some of my friends started a weekly gaming group when lockdown began. We initially played 0 AD as a joke. One year in, we've had stints of Starcraft 2, CS:GO, and Among Us. But at this point we've settled into something of a rotation of 0 AD and Overwatch.

It's a good game to play with friends and the jankiness is actually pretty charming. Just stay away from naval combat.

Naval combat is better (reworked) in Aye Pirates mod.

Disclaimer: I made this mod.

0 AD naval stuff can be pretty brutal. I read that some of the naval stuff was improves this last update. In any case, I don't think I've ever enjoyed naval combat in an RTS!

Puzzle Pirates has great naval combat, it's an MMO however and requires a bit of investment before you can sail a ship into battle.

I’ve been playing the new Civilization 6 Pirates multiplayer mode. It’s exactly as it sounds —- travel the seas building an armada, burying treasure, and pillaging costal cities.

It’s much faster paced than a traditional Civ game, and only takes a bit over an hour to finish. 10/10 would recommend

Civilizations isn’t an RTS, it is turn based
