You have a few options.}

Flatpak

sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak

Add flat hub
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Install 0AD
flatpak install flathub com.play0ad.zeroad

Debian Backports

Add the repos
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list

Update and install

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports 0ad

This will give maybe a slightly new version not the latest

Snap Package

Install snap

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd

Then install 0AD
sudo snap install 0ad

Hope that helps

I did do everything suggested under Debian backports. I had actually tried this through the website of the game as well. Everything seem to go successfully but when I download the game, I get that it has the latest update. I have the Alpha XXVI Zhuangzi version and their website says there is a Alpha XXVII "Agni" out. But maybe I just read it wrong or don't understand. Either way, thank you for your help and quick response! Doesn't look like there is anything else I can do

[j10alexander]

Ok wait. I'm still learning linux . And the game update isn't that critical .But just because I'm trying to learn, when I do the add repos step
" echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.lis"
Nothing changes in the source list that I can see (/etc/apt/sources.list)
Am I missing something?

[Peppermint OS]

You are not missing anything.... for better organization so that your .lists doe snot get real messy Debian has a folder for adding repos it is called sources.list.d this part of the command
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list puts the repo entry in there
You can look in this folder and you should see it "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/"

[j10alexander]

OK. I knew that at one point but I have forgotten. So for future reference, I can add repos to either directory (sources.list or sources.list. ) But preferably sources.list.d to just keep thinks tidier and better organized? I appreciate any help or tips so I'm sorry that I have gone off topic here.

[Peppermint OS]

To be honest with you.... you don't need sources.list in-fact going forward PepDevuan will not even ship with it we only add things to the folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in that build at some point Debian and Devuan will phase it out.
