this is mw in nw if you see there are only 3 fams with big nice infra and planets 99 and 97 are allied and have a nap with 90 already since start to have a nice good eor war because we knew only 90 would be a good strong fam to have a fun eor war with. than 90 was allied to 85 so it was alliance nap 90/85 and 99 and 97 means there are not much fams left to fight we did fight 86 and gave them nap after we did fight 91 and gave nap we did fight 84 and offered nap do you know how 84 did respond with planting a small dude in our core we did clear small dude take some more planets we offered nap and they never reacted on that.

so for 84 go screw yourself because you earn what you will get coming you guys just don't know when to expect nap after lost the fight but losing a fight doesn't mean you lost the war.

for the rest we did only fight top fams as far as you can see them top fam and if the lowest ranked fams would read this they would say im nice i gave them P-nap because they are no fun to fight but napping whole mw will kill the fun out of a round..

so what am i expected to do ? sit there and wait till you get all over my systems and FINALLY have enough infra to make it a fun fight ?

i did that to 93 and 96 but they never made it look where they are now

so all in all this round is just boring only 1 big fight left 90 vs 99 or 90 vs 97 hopefully 90 vs 97 because thats where i played for this round

the main reason why the game is shrinking isnt because some families lose or even because some folks take things too far.  It is because the market is flooded with browser games and most of them have slick modern graphics that make IC look very dated, and most of them are no different than IC as far as the heriarchal dynamic goes.

Play Desert Conflict sometime or Core-exiles.  You will build and grow and then wham!  Oh I got raped it isnt fair!  No it isnt fair.  It is a war game.  The problem is we need to attract new players so that you guys have someone else to rape.

Imperial Conflict is basically a team centric board game with a small number of pieces ...played on your browser.  It should be advertised as such to reach the strategy gamer market, but with these 1997 low res graphics...good luck.   It is hard to compete in a crowded market with these dated graphics, because very nature of any video game is the graphic arts medium.  That which catches the eye catches the interest.

The reason the body is dying is because the head is sick.  The developer rests on his laurels and the player base decays because of that.  If you want to blame someone...then blame the developer.

In this world ... if you arent growing you are shrinking.

It might counts for most people. But I prefer old school stuff if it comes to games (guess why I am still palying Transport Tycoon and Settlers 2 -.-). Sure new websites / web designs are looking much better. I checked out the games you noted..... the screenshots I saw, dont attract me. In fact I saw for Desert conflict you even have to download???

I agree the web is full with webbased games and getting new players is hard. But I doubt if we can get new players and they land with some bad luck in a fam which gets raped if the decide quick to play another round.

Sure some/most people cry to quick about farming, but it's also the community which can be a great part of someone's decision to join or leave. And I can tell you this aint the best community of the webbased games.

People are trolling to much

OMFG>... trolling is so not today. It's even older then IC graphics

Lee, people have been saying 1 more year 1 more year.. for a long time now.......

i bet sence the "community" in this game as a ton of people DONT play ic but SIT on irc...
the few that play will keep it kicking for atlest 2 1/2 3 years

WITHOUT any major problems happening..

if there is another big server crash like years back... it will never come back

"It's become "FARM the smaller families" anymore"

people said the same thing in beta 4

lol
