ok mink , thanks , i will
i've played all the varieties of RTS games that have come along , some good , some awfull.
this one certainly has possibilities. but it only takes one small thing to make or break a game.
human beings are , by nature , impatient. if someone is more frustrated at playing a game , than they are having fun , they will stop playing it.
improving your town with better buildings , better layout , better troops , higher production etc is all fine , it's a challenge.
but if you reach a point where it all comes to a halt , or improvement takes days , instead of hours , then that is not good.
you'll get frustrated and give up. and yes , i know it is beta , i'm simply making suggestions.
an example. i need stone and lumber to expand. my group is not trading , so i have built lumbermill and stonemason to produce required goods. at 1 every 4 hours. that's over 30 hours
my gold and res are building up , as i cant spend them. i have 10 forge points , which are now being wasted , as i cant spend them. i only have space for 1 warrior rax, and i cant attack 7 iron age troops with 4 bronze , so taking more provinces is out.
i hoping like mad guild or world trade will open up tomorrow.
any suggestions on gaining / buying more land?
