This happens quite a bit. My neighbour amassed over 18,000 troops. He probably wasn't pleased when I propaganda'd him a few times to take 60% of his troops.

Everytime I break 5000 troops in the Marda Loop, I get nuked down to 1. I don't really mind since I can just leave my phone on over night and take it back. I find a lot of people that nuke me have next to no territories, so you must be making a lot of cash off people buying resources to attack the Marda Lithium.

I am currently lord of Edmonton on CP world. When I'm at the bus stop or on campus I now look at everyone with an iPhone as my enemy.

Re: Adding a new world

by bvbomber » Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:40 pm
That sounds perfect. A couple more questions:
1) Can I limit the play area on purchased worlds? This would be a great feature
2) Can I restrict the ability to purchase additional resources on worlds I create?

additional recommendations...
If we could limit the play area, fog of war and troop expiration would be cool features. Also, game start time (meaning one could join the game on Saturday but the game would commence Monday at 8am) along with game duration (1 week, 1 month, etc) would be cool. If these types of variables could be set by the world creator at the time of purchase, I feel you could easily charge more for the world

great game!
This quote is from the OTW forum, I was lurking it, I just want to say that this guy has some great ideas.

They are some great suggestions. We are going to add more features for people that purchase worlds but right now the focus is on the main game. We only have half a dozen or less worlds being played in so it's not a priority.

Had a nice long drive across NB today.. Up to 2nd in CP world.

Pretty easy to accumulate territory out here with not many people playing.

I'm surprised that there are 18 people on CP here that play this game.
Also annoying that you all use different usernames, because I don't know exactly who I'm competing with.

Lots of 3G out here. NB has actually always been on the leading edge of telecom technology.

Actually it takes the fun out of it when someone can knock out all troops with a single attack. 5000 troops, I've never seen. It would take leaving your iPhone on for 120 per hour. 48 hours maybe with the thing on straight, no interruptions to answer a call or even check and email to get 5000.

It takes someone 30 of each to knock all that out. In 3 seconds. That's where the game is flawed.

That's the folly of this game. I took a road trip to visit my parents and have resources to burn. Yet, if you look downtown Edmonton for whatever reason Jolinar and Republic of Awesome don't attack each other. 1500 - 1200 troops.

But me in my spot, they drop nukes daily. Why leave the phone on? Instead of just getting 50 troops? Drop them every time they come in. Get 20 troops, drop a kamikaze, still mine.

My OTW handle is the same as my CP handle, but I'm in Ottawa, so that don't help you guys.

ACK!!!!!! I owned all of centre-west Ottawa for a month and now someone has taken the downtown core. There will be hell to pay for this...

My god you are a little b!tch. Create your own world and play in that. You can keep your territories all to yourself. And where was your road trip to visit your parents? Up the stairs?!

Jesus man, give it up. I've never seen someone so worked up about a game that cost one dollar. I agree with ROA, buy your own world and play on that. Your attitude makes me want to drive to downtown Edmonton everyday and nuke the crap out of you.

Actually maybe it would be even more fun if we let you gain about 50k troops in your little home, and then go nuke crazy.

An issue for you guys. For the first time, I went to change my world from the CP to the earth, and upon going back to the conquest map, the game crashed. So I opened it up again, and when I went back to earth this time, the grid was gone and the clock was counting down twice as fast. When I went back to the CP world, same issue with grid and clock.
