Re: New Map Layout

Do you need to spend hours watching though to be a competitive say fighter? In those browser games can you play say 1 hour daily and still be able to compete? Do the games you play in a browser look like something that was about when Steinberg was writing about ET? But point about the luck thing... ...

Re: New Map Layout

The mines where never the problem... Low player numbers, high turn rate and small maps were! This is incorrect, sorry to say it. Many other people like playing often and actively. If you are ever going to retain newbs you cant have slow slow slow games. If you turned it down to 1 or 1.25 you'd have...

Re: New Map Layout

Blade have you played since recent mine changes? If you have 5 or so ships in sector you can fire on mines, kill them in one hit, all before they fire back on you. This means they DO NO DAMAGE. You can clear a whole sector with one person's turns and NEVER UNOING! It's a joke. Hence my statement, I...

Re: New Map Layout

Not saying this is the same as SMR but it is what is first and I say it again the login looks impressive, so general joe would probably play. We might call it boring but it's more active than SMR so something is right. Google rankings are complicated, but does need to be addressed to help inbound tr...

Re: New Map Layout

Nothing I say is against anyone but general feelings on a game.

SMRealms isn't even in google on the first important pages if you search browser based space strategy. That needs to be addressed.

That is the first one, and the log in page is impressive.

Re: New Map Layout

I would not call this a hard strategy game.

You dont have to think about weapons, or think about what to build on a planet or even what goods to trade as that is a given. Diversity is a hard strategy game, this game lacks diversity at the moment.

Re: New Map Layout

Problem is there are no new players to promote the style of game your after. The player base is use to having things fast, easy and compact. If someone has to use 100-150 turns to weapon up then use 50 turns on tracking one kill they throw their toys out the pram and demand a smaller, faster more co...

Re: Unbalance

Just goes to prove the combat is wrong.. Ships should not be seen as how many hits they are worth. The difference in accuracy from what I think you are saying is perfectly acceptable sergei 0-150k exp is 0-33 levels which is 33% 150-300k exp is 33-42 which is only a 9% gain So as your level goes up ...
