I have noticed that I'm basically playing against a team there. I do find it quite entertaining though! Eventually I will get some territories and hold onto them! I'm kind of stuck going to these other places though since I don't have an old device to plug in an build troops 24/7. I think that you are sitting at just over 11,000 troops now...basically I'd have to nuke you three times!

I've stopped now that I know you aren't doing the same. I suppose it's only fair. If you weren't on CP though I'd leave that thing on until the next ice age.

Propaganda could be effective it that amount. You'll get 4-8% of his troops each time. Just saying...

Any thoughts on adding some more rules to implement more strategy? Say:

1) You can't take over an occupied territory unless you are already adjacent to it? You could still build up troops in enemy territory, but it wouldn't switch over until adjacent to conquered territory. This would allow one to set up a more organized defense and also encourage more strategic attacks requiring more planning (ie trigger a domino effect once you "breech" a defensive perimeter of territories.)

Of course newbies with 0 territory would have to be allowed to take over whereever for their first one.

2) Maybe some sort of bonus for having unified territories? Be it defense or resource or something.

Ok I downloaded it today. The ranking, am I competing in a certain relm or when it ranks out of 196 is that worldwide ranking?

[Captain Chuckles]

Worldwide ranking. If you buy your own world you will also have a ranking in it.

Very original idea by the way! Great game.

Data use is low. If you are just sitting there taking territory about 6kb a minute or 360kb an hour (1/3 of a MB), a bit more if you are looking at reports or zooming out far and moving around the map. So much less than hitting some web pages with images.

Is it a possibility to have a copy of the map on a website for easier viewing?

If you go to the website you can see the map. http://ownthisworld.com/

Nice, thanks. I haven't been to the website to look for it before.

I actually went there for the first time right before I read your post.

This thing is pretty cool... Not cool enough for me to trade Android for Apple though.

On the other hand, this seems like a good way to stalk someone, which could be a negative thing.

Also, this DrunkenLandLord guy might be a former QC Flames guy, as he has captured much of the QC, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. So far he has no competition, it appears.

I haven't been able to log in since I downloaded the most recent patch. It appears to have nullified my password and says that one of the characters I used isn't allowed anymore. Advice developers?
