Description
Your build is missing the latest Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) release at: https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/ubuntu/0ad
Meaning users, including myself, can't install the latest 0ad via Ubuntu 24.04 or other distros like Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu 24.04). The latest Ubuntu release you support seems to be Jammy.
Please package also for Ubuntu 24.04.

Unfortunately 0ad binary is indeed missing from Ubuntu 24.04, since it fails to build, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/0ad/+bug/2071550.
(The same for Debian testing, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/0ad)
It is also missing from the two ppa listed on the link provided by Stan.
You may try the snap package.

@stan I'm using Linux Mint 22. Which luckily doesn't come with snap. Nor will it ever come with snap. Thank the lord.

In this case, you don't have many options left. You can try the AppImage
https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GettingTheUnixRelease#AppImage
Or you're gonna have to try your luck at compiling the game yourself.
Hey, and thanks for the report.
We do not maintain the ppa, ricotz does.
There are alternatives ppas:

You can also consider using the snap package.
