I still love you Daniel! =P
It's Jason! oh my lord! You exist!
Pharmacy Tech (gonna probably do nursing all the way up to CRNP)
another suggestion
Androids - not only are they phones, but they can also help with various other tasks too!
Seriously though, some sort of ground unit that can perhaps boost other factors? Lower atk/def capabilities in exchange for a boost in construction or the speed of buildings?
Or maybe have it as a racial perk? They can be changed according to what the player desires?
Should there be a bonus in the races for that instead? Like having population having a defense all the time seems a little overpowered when pop bankers are taken into account.
Why not have a perk for the races, like droids? We can call it, "Militia" or something and it gives the population a defense bonus. It would add another option to the various strategies and force some players to choose between militia and say, an op or 2
I say that if you're going to do that pie, you should find a way to have them marked in the system. I'm sure there are ways for the system to notice trends in players and that way there should be something that pops up where they cant be killed off. They still get their 1 delete but thats that. A punishment of sorts? That way it can discourage further abuse of the system?
There are alot of factors involved with pop scaling. If your population growth is at +50% you will increase alot faster than someone who has -30% or even an even 0%. Along those same lines, research is the same way when you have a research boost. So usually from what I understand, after you build your buildings, your nw should double around day 2 or 3 when your planet is either fully built or your pop is fully grown in.
I play alot of eso on xbox one if anyone wants to add me =P

The issue with things taking too long to do, load or build, I think the gimmick for mobile games today is that they want you to pay for stuff to make it faster.
From a philosophical standpoint, our culture (planet whatever you want to call it) is slowly becoming...impatient. We discuss this at my job (i work in a pharmacy) and people want everything done quickly, right then and there. 15 minutes is too long to wait for a potentially life saving (or prolonging) drug and get the information right, whereas people will wait up to 30 minutes for coffee from an overpriced coffee shop. Our society has changed and one can argue it is because everything is all about "how fast" something is and can be done. How fast can you do this? You can build a building in 4 months? This guy says he can do it in 3 and 1/2, i'm giving him the contract. If something takes too long, we lose interest because we either "dont have the time" or we "feel that there is something better". IC is the same way, every thing about the game is brilliantly conceived, however, it isnt fast paced enough for the society that has created everything to become (or is on the way to) maximum efficiency. That, my friends, is the death of a game. If it isnt efficient, its not worth keeping interest.
On the other hand, sex sells. Games with boobs. Enough said there.
If the game became a mobile app, you can include micro transactions! $2.99 for a 5% attack bonus for 1 hour! $14.99 for a shipment of 15,000 iron and 5,000 endurium!
I dont know, the game would become unbalanced, but think of all the money you could make haha
or, how about 5 families instead? 2 families only makes communication difficult, whereas 5 spreads the people out more
I think it would be nice to start with 10 Expo's instead of 200. You still get that, do I spread out or tactical spread or focus on quick explore/infra and move out?
did you do something to make KT unhappy?
Donald's topics all suck. so anything is better than your topics =p
Has anyone considered facebooking a version of IC?
I only ask because I dont know if anyone mentioned it or considered it yet...
not even buy, I would say if you did something unique that "attracted" their attention, or perhaps the whim of the game like "they felt empathy for your suffering and decided to help"
You can even have things like "General Einstein has offered you his help" and he gives you a -5% attack bonus but a +5% defense bonus or some silly thing
even just -10% atttack bonus to "troll" you

but seriously, I understand the issue of smaller fams or lack of players, and limited allies, so in response to that issue, why not perhaps, oh i dont know, have no allies anymore? Half the time allies break away and fight each other anyways so it isnt like the whole ally thing works perfectly
Allies are not allowed this round......
See? Already putting my ideas into practice hahaha =p
You know, IC has alot of people that are capable of doing programming, modding and more. It has always had people to do that, I think they just need incentive to work on it, perhaps IC could even make Hero units? =o that would be nice
Hero Unit:
Undeath
When attacking or defending, Undeath brings back 5% of your lost units from the grave!
or some stupid thing like that
Hero Unit:
KT
Whenever you attack, cute kittens appear among the enemy and distract them, giving you a 5% attack bonus! or maybe allergies.
I think it can be very easy to do. You cannot transfer them, they cannot die (or that easily). Maybe they are only good for 3 fights? And then they "move on" like mercenaries? I dont know, I'm rambling out an idea here

Easy suggestion:
Acheivements
- Everyone likes acheivements or trophies
@Ferengis
Technically there are awards at the end of every round, the rankings. And people can hide them
does anyone remember that silly game that was like IC, only faster? it was like, 2 minute ticks or something and they had like planets where you found free units and such. I didnt understand any of it, only that the game moved very quickly and I had a massive amount of resources after 1 day haha
also, I think the majority of all of us can agree that IC is not dead, but rather it is alive and well. Not only are the forums still alive, but the game was more of a distraction than anything else. It is the community that keeps this game moving along. People that have been around for a long time and continue to be around because they either like talking to the people, have nothing better to do, or just find the community to be an enjoyable experience. The game was just something to busy your self with, however, in our gaming world today, if it isnt super epic graphical or experience related, then why play it right? it's archaic, old, run down, not that cool. But has any one noticed that a majority of these games are also less involved, require less intelligence (anyone can play CoD), and ultimately require less intuition? Think about how involved the older days were when you had massive wars fought and people frantically building armies in seconds to combat another fam that cancelled a 48h nap the hour before. Or people who would build complicated spreadsheets elaborating details about the intriguing concepts involving the different ways to be a pop banker, or how and when to build infra, switching from cf/to to pop? LoL and everything else is fun, or boring (I find LoL to be very dull), but while time has advanced, IC has remained unique and itself. I dont play the game myself I will admit, I dont find the time between school, work and RPG games (if IC were an rpg game, i would play the hell out of it), but it doesnt mean that we need to find ways to keep IC "alive", what we need is ways to get the game out there via word of mouth.
a troll is someone who lives under a bridge (or in their moms basement ((see Undeath)) and they come out only to harass people for the giggles so that the people may pass the bridge (or leave moms basement)
yay, you did it! I'm sure it'll be exciting! Last time we talked, you were elaborating about several spreadsheets you had made concerning the concepts involving infra and pop banking (I think)
The attack on the so called embassy in Benadryl was done by
headspace because obuma was using tha embassy to
sell weapons to isis.
--> There's a place called benadryl? Is that a copyright infringement?
Obuma allows capture of american weapons in Iraq.
--> I dont think obama has any sway on the capture of weapon in iraq. For 1 thing, he isnt in Iraq. Secondly, he cant control every single piece of US equipment, nor account for it as some things can go missing when you have thousands of them
Obama refuses to help the Kurds fight isis.and does nothing
to stop the killing of Christians in the middle east.
--> Obama cant stop the killing of christians in the middle easy because everyone is trying to kill everyone in the middle east. Not to mention that if he tries to stop the killing of christians in the middle east, that means he has to stop the killings in africa, china, and all the other countries and continents that this kililng is occuring. This also includes America as many god fearing christians are killed here as well. If he cant stop the killing here, then what chance does he have anywhere else? Plus putting troops in harms way is also killing potential christians as well.
Obuma is helping Iran get a nuclear weapon .
--> He's playing the politics game. Cuba is a great example. He wants to be seen reconciling with past enemies to show he's a strong president. Iran can make its own nuclear weapons if it really wanted. This way is at least allows us to check in occasionally without guns. Plus there's enough nukes around they can buy some if they really wanted.
Obuma is the commander and chief of all the U. S. Forces.
obuma has the power to make them stand down. Now if obuma
could confiscate all the weapons from U. S. Citizen then isis
could have a field day in the U. S.
--> Bill of rights, the right to bear arms. And no, that doesnt mean you are given the right to have the arms of a bear.
