ic.....

and the papua new guinea and queensland are joined.

as are malaysia/singapore and sumatra...

and sri lanka to india

yet the isles of the carribean, japan and NZ appear at first glance to be seperated...

intruiging...

I was paying more attention to the red-tinted picture of the bomber dropping its payload at the top of the log-in screen, but I'm going to have to give the map a closer look now. Thanks for point that out.

DL loves (to be) anal. :P

you can't spell Dragonlance without 2 A's an N and an L!

indeed...

there are so many things i can say that would get me deleted for being a rude, crude, dude.

i like to think of the slight land changes as sea levels slightly falling due to some sort of nuclear fallout from all the nukes we toss at each other ingame ;-)

i think the mass exploring offsets that.

well, boats don't exist so it makes sense to connect things by land where appropriate!

Exploring is really pouring dirt into the water around Sri Lanka
that's been the secret all along!

now now.. no need to mock the sri lankans over the extra dirt bought in by the boxing day tsunami

that's right....."bought" .....purchased....

Naval warfare worked into the game would be awesome. And alliances should be determined by where you live geographically =P

That would have been a cool change for Earth in 2001 when we were still the standard for text based games and we would have been among the first. If we did it today, we'd be jumping on a bandwagon long after everyone else was there. I also don't think we could do it as well as other games which were designed with that concept in mind.

This game's strength is its simplicity. Our market is people who want an interactive game they can play from their cell phone/facebook. Adding complicating elements won't assist in that... especially elements that exist in dozens of other games and we offer no improvement upon.

imagine telling someone "your from abc, your in alliance def"

I think we've had enough FA problems caused by timezone differences to sink several thousand ships.

we need Lemuria added to the map !!
think thats one of Pang's own jets, dropping its payload prob on an enemy target say in ... Norway ;)

and lets replace jets with seige engines, and rename the game utopia.

I've got a few ideas on how to turn EE into the kind of game you guys are discussing... where there is actual land and stuff

i was talking to marshall about it a bunch a month ago, it's a pretty cool idea..... would be like EE + Civilization + another game I ran before called National Interests

and by "turn EE into it" I mean an EE2 kinda thing.... this style of game is still superior for quick, simple playing :p

as the resident civilisation addict....

20 more days!!!

If people want to play a geography-based game, they'll play Total War or Diplomacy. Basing your alliances on geography would make it impossible to deal with every member of the community at once, which is part of this game's appeal.
