" In fact, he was never planning to finish what he started with Imperial Conflict anyway."

lol'd


Also, what's the deal with Undeath?  He was almost voted out yesterday too hmm

Voting dp!

The popover event thingy, is something we're trialling out at the moment.

So far it seems cool and working well!  Not sure what affect this will have on Gameplay, (but then that's a talk for Strategy! tongue) as more information is available.

Even then, gameplay is something that, personally, I feel needs changing anyway, to mix things up a bit smile

Thanks - seems like good research work!

Not too sure about the actual gifs though - hmm, lets just say they might not fit with the current theme tongue

Not entirely sure if Stefan wants animated stuff - kinda, goes against the look, i think!

In a different game I've played, they had different ratios at different levels (only 2 or 3).

Eg:
Less than 500k nw, it's at 60%.  So gotta be pretty close
Less than 3m nw, it's at 40%.
More than 3m nw, everything is free game.

Just examples

Announcement

It has come to our attention, that a few players (you know who you are!) have some additional cores.  This was possible due to a certain reason which will hopefully be fixed for next round.  Not saying that anyone necessarily did this on purpose.

In any case, we would like to fix this situation at the moment for this round, so any players with greater than 3 cores, have 24 hours to PM me which 2 systems outside of their Home System, they would like to keep as their Core.  If I am not PMed within 24hours, I will select the additional Cores at Random.

24 hours from now, I will be removing all additional cores.

Thanks for your understanding.  Please remember this was a Beta round of sorts, and we will continue to try to bring Players new things.  Just keep in mind that we might not get it 100% right the first time round!

Thanks smile

Allies will likely not be considered for the next round.  I believe the 'ally' code, is a bit screwed up atm.

Best theme!

*************************************************

Family News and Send Aid, have been brought back to the Menu.  This could be temporary till we find a better way to display it or look nice.  For now though, it's been brought back for convenience (mine included!)

*************************************************

Actually, that was on my to do list today tongue  But thanks for the help!
Added a bit more than that, so hopefully it's a bit more tidy!


*************************************************

Messages page is now hopefully formatted properly!

*************************************************

Thanks smile

Interesting idea.

Also, just as clarity, the reason for "there are very few reasons for someone to donate for a vip", is because maximising VIPs is not a priority for us at the moment.  Features that enchance the game, we feel, should be brought about for everyone, eg System List tool.  With the exception of Drafting.

Once the game is where we kinda like, then we can probably look for specific benefits for VIPs.

I loved this tool!

1 Spot has been added per fam.

Family size is now 8 (previously 7).

*************************************************

HQ (Overview) Page has been tidied up a little (Centred for empire settings change) and clear distinction box for Leader Message.

Just some minor aesthetic stuff.

Sounds interesting.  I like what it potentially achieves:

The effect of this will be to foster securing territory and shares between allies, and to provide an incentive for fams to maintain round-long alliances.

Perhaps something for the future!

*************************************************

Courtesy Stefan, Input boxes have been brought back too! <3  Research, Build Units, etc.

I believe for now, the sliders have been removed, but will likely be brought back (perhaps, or something /shrug).

sigh..

Due to popular demand, I've now added protection in place so that players cannot add gc to the Defense Fund if they have the maximum number of DSes.

With respect to getting your gc back, that is currently up for discussion.

*************************************************

Rankings page has been brought back!  It's not "fully" like how it was before, but I'll have to work on that next week sometime.  Perhaps a redesign is in order.  For now though, it's back where it should be!

Although not as serious as some of the 'build' and Slider bar stuff - but rest assured, those are being worked on too!

1) it should be permanent, in the way if you roll down (in your planets list, in your kounzil, in family news, etz...) the sidebar moves down with you, so you dont have to roll up again making the game very unkomfortable to play.


Hmm, this is a good point.

What do you mean?  Can you provide a screenshot etc?

Personal log input field should be bigger, there is plenty of space.

The input field is resizeable.

But yes, it could be defaulted to be bigger!
