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 tongue 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 wink 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. wink

for the rest we did only fight top fams tongue 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 tongue

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 tongue

             Well, my kilt will fly up, but I'll try.
                   WOW he = Portgas D Ace

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

and portgas sucks really bad at infra planning so there's not much else to do

So I told the cop, "No YOU'RE driving under the influence... of being a JERK!"

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

HoaD . . .

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.

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

lol render, now there is a guy who knows how to give out naps, i may just play pw if the fam size goes up a little bigger, i aint got time for 6 man fams

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 tongue

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

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

yes doomshade is right, we need a new developer whos going to actaully do something other than alter some races and go MIA like the last one.
typically someone who can develop and knows IC, otherwise, well, we all know the inevitable.

I give it 1 year  Tops, and there will be so few players that ic will close down for good, sad, but true.

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

agree...

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

need maybe some advertizin aswell

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

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

[13:43] <@RisingDown> never thought i'd say it, but TBO actually did something useful.
[13:43] <@arsy> dont let him see you say that
[13:43] <@RisingDown> oh shit
[13:43] * You were kicked from #room by arsy (kapow!)

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

"old school" is the new thing. it's good to be retro. If IC can last long enough, it'll be cool again and people will play. wink

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Game has gotten pathetic

Guess the game has not been properly developed then tongue

BTW: imperialconflict.com itself is still optimistic.

Quote from the homepage: "Hello and welcome to Imperial Conflict, a game where you compete with thousands of others for galactic domination!"

Thousands of others......
