There are now snaps for i386 and amd64 built on launchpad at
https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/+snap/0ad.

Note that the manual step to add "sched_setaffinity" to the seccomp
profile after installation is still needed if you’re using snapd <
2.18. Once 2.20 is widely available on all supported ubuntu releases,
I will consider publishing to the store, and handing over ownership to
upstream.

For those interested, the packaging magic is at
https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/+junk/0ad-snap.

Feedback welcome!
