Surely you want it to be a no ascention game so that they can get used to the attack and interaction aspects of the game and then once they get enough points or whatever to ascend to this 'powerful main account' where they are then introduced to ascentions etc.

Also if raiding requires a stargate on both sides what's the point of building a stargate, keep your account without one and just build up untrained units forever and ever.

This game really needs a lot of work


Yeah, it would make much more sense to get rid of any incremental boundaries - or at least keep them minimal - as it is, me and a few others are uncatchable....within a year of this going live, new players will really struggle to catch up....probably worse than main even.

And when you sab someone your covert goes up against their anti covert NOT their covert. Therefore to defend your account you need anti covert units. Unlike main. Therefore covert is offensive, anti-covert is defensive

ps: does anyone else's bank work?

My bank started working after I ascended.


Yeah, you have to ascend to activate the bank, and then from there, you can upgrade the capacity

Re: Newgrounds and other news?

If this game is going to go out to new players, some sort of instruction guide is going to have to be written for them, like the one on the main server. We've got some experienced players testing this server (no i don't count myself among them XD ) but it's been very much hit and miss.

Yes, it's a beta, but there have been a few things that have completely messed with the dynamics, such as Juliette starting with a lot more naq than everyone, which she lost very fast once people noticed.

I think if you're going to make this game more new-player friendly, the techs are going to have to be capped at a minimum, if not removed entirely.

Also, players not realising they had to upgrade their MS stuffed quite a few up, and I nearly fell into that trap myself. There also needs to be a greater value placed on ascending, as the price of ascending is not worth the increase it gives you. Hence why I didn't ascend, even while making a ridiculous amount of God Particles each turn.

Also agree on this point.

It should be that you have to build a stargate to raid, sab and blitzkrieg, regardless of what the other side has. Otherwise someone can sit there with absurd numbers of UU out, and they can't get hit. If a player does that on main, they WILL get raided. Might as well get the new players into good habits of not leaving UU out.

Not exactly a great ratio of losses/kidnapped for raiding anyways....

It is stupid though that you can't even sab without the other person build a stargate?!

Arguable as the game has just started...every UU is essential, we can't all have 50k UP cos we cheated! :smt091

I do love jason's messages:

Your military was obviously overwhelmed. Unable to stop them, or even engage them all, the excess had their way with your Priest. And it killed a lot of them. Not even a clown joke can cheer you up now. Jebus.


I was wondering what had happened to a few of my priests....
