[Luthien]

it's going to be great.

calling all australians. let's gang up together and pwn this first round of the game.


question for Jarett:

will there be 'races' in the game? and/or will the choices you make right at the very start determine whether you are stronger at trade vs military vs politics vs high population vs whatever.

Count me in

Of vinegar.

I was confused as to why there wasn't a link/URL posted in this thread.. so I guessed http://theempiregame.com/ and it ended up being the actual site. lol.

ah yes, and when went there and clicked on the forum link just now, it actually went through to a forum. looks like things are falling into place.

Count me in

"we are gonna pwn this server... (lol)"

I assume this game should be ok to use on my uni internet which blocks certains ports for games, even QL. I'd really like to try this.

The research choices you make during the game are permanent, so if you want to "re-spec" your empire, it'll have to wait until the next round. You can bulldoze your lands and re-develop them, but at a pretty high cost. There are no "races".

Damn that blue is hard to read with full glareage on.

How's the green work?

What is the possibility of user created content or maybe I should say user contribution to the game after its release?

I am sure there would be suggestions made on the game's forums.... ?

[Tree_]

Applied, hope I get in, etcetc

[Alexc26]

Jarett, when will the invites be given out ? will it be on the 13th or will invites start to be given out before ready for when the site is up and running properly ?

100%. Even during our internal betas these past few months, with only 50-80 testers at a time, a ton of great ideas were submitted and subsequently implemented.

TEG is like a canvas. We had some good ideas for a solid foundation and so we built a solid back-end around them. Now we are filling out the game; improving, polishing, adding features... A year from now TEG may be unrecognizable compared with its current form! A game is never really finished, there's always ways to improve it. The launch of this game is really the beginning for us. From here it's about absorbing all of the feedback and making the appropriate changes and additions as we continually work towards having the best game in its genre in the world.

when will the invites be given out ?

The first emails will go out the morning of the 13th. From there, we'll be upping our tester base weekly. I expect every person who has applied so far will get in the first round. We want 1000+ testers by the end of the month, which will require going beyond the regular forum users. All community members (who aren't morons or douchebags) will be able to test the game very soon.
