Congrats on a new release! I think it's a good project, and I too thought it was dead.

Personal experience:
A few-ish months ago, I tried to get into 0AD (more than an exploratory 1-2 matches vs an AI). I like to watch videos of folks playing Age Of Empires 2, and I looked for a similar experience on youtube, to better understand the game, the meta, and standard tactics.
But the videos just don't look nice. The units are hard to distinguish. The graphics are serviceable. It looks nice when you actually play, but personally it is not enjoyable to watch a video of it in the same way that AOE2 is.

It looks nice when you actually play, but personally it is not enjoyable to watch a video of it in the same way that AOE2 is. Having played to a lot of RTS when I was younger, the main difference between AOE2 and the rest[1] is 3D vs isometric-2D. 3D tends to make games a lot messier. The comparison between AOE2 and AOE3 is a pretty good example of this phenomenon for instance. [1] : Stacraft 2 being the outlier here, it has really “clean” graphics, while being 3D.
