I cant see instant messenger that superior to pm in sequential games like I play. In fact, I didnt use instant messenger with many partners I had, you can check my games logs for this. In fact, I usually use IM only with Andy (yeah, that guy of the foundry, do you know?), and because he insisted to use, because I was wanting to use pm.

But of course, Tucker, you still can talk about things you have no idea, although I suggest you to shut up. Maybe you can point something to convince me to join the birds, can you?

Nicely done friend! You are a credit to your species... er, I mean staff.

I dont like the fact that you have still ignored YOU setting up your own armies.. I think that that is something that should be very important..

chained forts is where you can fort to anywhere you are linked to, like in unlimited. but, you only get 1 fort.

The terminator games sound like fun, but I'm not sure I'd want to play them. As I've understood it the points exchanged are based on the amount you and your opponent.
And that seems too risky to me, any player with 1400 points or more is going to be attacked from every side by recruits and people with few points trying to climb the rankings.

In normal games it's more balanced, you don't mind someone with more points winning because that minimzes your losses, and if you manage to win because you played better, good for you. But you don't mindlessly attack him.

I might make a post on the suggestion forum about this, too, but how about setting a fixed amount of points (e.g. 20) for killing another player in a terminator game?
Then it wouldn't matter WHO you killed as long as you killed someone. I feel that this would make for more strategic gameplay in terminator games.

Great job, lack - I really like the improvements and the different strategic options and gametypes they allow.

Wow... All I can say is thank you. I don't think you guys have added one single new improvement that I haven't been waiting for with bated breath.

Screw the haters, it's all good!

by **KoolBak** on Fri Jul 14, 2006 10:53 am

Agree w/ Grim - Lack, it is awesome!

Explained earlier; in case you missed it: CHAINED is like one unlimited fortification......ie, as many armies from one country to any other country that is linked by countries you own......

Thanks again Lack!!

These updates sound good.

by **hawkeye** on Sun Jul 16, 2006 1:18 pm

i sorta miss the old unlimited fort. but ill live

by **wicked** on Sun Jul 16, 2006 1:47 pm

Unlimited fort is still an option Hawkeye .... chained fort's was in addition to Unlimited and Adjacent (previously One).

I like the changes but I DO think that there should be some notice even if its in the suggestion thread a simple post of.... "already tested should be implemented soon" or something...
