tc had mars2026 and global uses tc's code so technically could say so.

Juice made WW4...


...then turned it into Utopia.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW PANG! WHEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIISSSSSSS YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUURRRRRR GOOOOOOOOOOOOD NAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I did not read all the above posts. but that game is nothing but multis and corrupt admins...period

after talkin to an admin apparently theyve really cut down on the multis

Pang needs to contact the Mars 2025 admins and work with them to setup a cross over War of the Worlds 2025 server where all the EE players fight the Mars players :P

we'd pwn them:

hahahahahaha I love that scene :)

The Russians will only FS you at 3am in the morning in the USA. Pain in the butt when leadership doesn't like taking the FS for a "moral victory". Good luck :3

Hello guys. I am former marsian player. My native language is russian but i hope, that you uderstand what i write here:)

We really have 60k registered accaunts, every set in game register around 10k players. But of course Mars and EE not a very good places for teenagers who like Mass Effect, Assasin's Creed and other games with beauty graphic. Schoolers play 100 turns and close game, becouse there are not pictures of wild hot girls:)

Most of newbies just barbarians who don't know how to play and don't know how communicate in game. They build rainbow and happy when they see themself in top-1000. So there are around 250-300 players who know how provide country. Most of players we get from russian social networks, right. But last month Ashkael and Dev repair Facebook applicanion which was broken around 2 years, so i hope that we get some new english-speaking players too

Our community - very young. Current community lives one year i thinck. For example when we made our alliance we had only 7 players. Novadays we have around 40 active and 20-30 members in vacation mode) All of them play just half year, there are not much vets. We had big problems with teachers, strategy developers and coders in our alliance at the start. But now we wrote good online servises and bots which our members made:

Online Union calculator for example: http://sfunion.ru/prompter.aspx (russian so you may have problems with codepage)

Clowns with Guns made very good hosting site for alliances:http://www.xeqtion.com/

News: http://www.marsnews.net/mn/show/warReport

Main problem of main games EE and Mars - bad social support. E-republic also have bad graphic, but they build good social network with convinient forum, newspapers and twitts. Second problem - gameplay. You can netting and you can warring. Not a very rich choice. I don't recruit new players in our nettgain sets becouse they bored fast. Landgrab, landgrab, build labs, build labs, tech, sell on market - and this algorythm every day. After 10-20 days newbies ussualy runaway from game.

I like improvements and innovations that developers of EE made. Good job. I hope that EE devs could make gameplay more interesting.

The biggest different of mars and ee - community. Here is stable community with advanced diplomacy, traditions but small amount of new players There is something like Wild West. Frontier. Marsians dont like talking they prefer diplomacy with guns also i thinck what our alliancies much stronger than ee alliances;)

why not have the two game talk it out and merge them into one

just a thought

Yeah it would be great

3 people and 60k countries...nuff said for those cheats

yes TC made Global2025 which has been worked over and has some new twists to it and I think is starting up again

I don't think it makes sense to merge the games at all.

Other than their user numbers still being paper tigers (we have more ACTIVE players than they do I think, esp. on Alliance) it doesn't make sense to merge the games, as there are so much differences.

I'm not really willing to abandon anything we've done here and I don't think anyone else on staff wants to either. This is a community focused game, much like Mars is (from what TT says in his post at least) and to merge them would be forcing two communities to interact, two dev teams to interact and I honestly don't see that being a net gain for either game, even if the merger went relatively smoothly.

qz and I will be done out respective theses soon, and then we'll unveil the final design project moving towards the big launch :)

does the google + allow apps?

It isn't that it would be so great at this point. A large majority of the English speaking players already play here as well as mars.
The in-game dynamics between the majority of Russians in mars hold no appeal to the English speakers. Frankly it is just laziness. With the translators it is easy enough to make a lot of Russian alliances (friends). The mindset of the Russians is the biggest hurdle and therefore the biggest issue with any kind of "merge".
EE has done well in keeping the game moving forward. Mars has done well keeping a lot of vets (somehow....)

As far as Multi's.... yeah not really an issue in either game as I see it.

One thing I would say could be helpful in continuing to help the noob player is to include auto in-game advice directing them to links for joining an alliance.

I think there is a bunch of stuff to think about before introducing EE to facebook and making apps. I showed a friend at work this game. Told him I play it during work. He created a country, looked around for a few minutes and decided it's too much text and things to learn.

Building buildings for example. Instead of calcing how many buildings to build to go with your bpt, just have an option to chose how many turns worth you want to build. The game needs to be user friendly (most of us have played this for years and don't think about this), the competition is hard, there's a million games like these out there now. But we got a good active community, I hope we can get to 5-10k active players in a few years.

I've shown this game to people over the years, but my nerdier friends were the only ones that liked it. (the kind of friends that would rather play risk over a PS3 game)

With Facebook, we would be going against the stay at home mom's playing Farmville. lol (the biggest game in the world)

you all want the Ruskies here? and CLOWNS back here?

First of all, imagine the FR horror when the Ruskies don't understand that you want a pact and thinks you guys want war, so they FS you oop after you think you guys signed a uNAP.

Then there's the clowns, their crazy.

but the clowns are the good kind of crazy. :P

we already have our EE resident crazy folks, their tagged imag

I understand from my brother who plays that that they have a cool feature dealing with spy ops. You country can maintain copies of spy reposts you've gotten in the game automatically. You don't need any outside alliance site support to do it. It just maintains a copy for you so you don't have to make your own copies. That would seem to be a pretty good thing, I'm not sure how it's implemented though having never played the game myself.

That would make more since for single player servers such as primary but for alliance people are using 3rd party sites anyways!

They are foreign and maybe stuck in the 1950s but not stupid. Crazy is anyone who keeps playing these type of games ;)

I was more refering to the language barrier.

I played in an alliance on the old game with 30ish russians. Language wasnt a problem really and it was a pleasure getting to know some of those guys. I hope they come over.

agreed, most are very patient with our online translators. The key is to not use slang when talking/typing to translate and make the sentences simple.

I played Mars during after the first set of this site was over. (for about 6 months)
All of the games servers are basically the same. Express is a joke though. I would get killed by their spies. I would play just to see how long I could make it. ;p

Zdravstvui'i moi tovarishchi? :)

Registratsiya S.O.T.A. v'e FFA :)

Если бы они были вашими товарищами, то Вы не улыбнулись бы как этот.... ))

Forgotten, Sounds like you have a problem with people from other places playing the game, eh? Don't like "furriners", do ya?

Maybe you oughta just take your hillbilly ass outta here and find something else to do with your time. Tell your parents to have a baby girl, so you can have a girlfriend when she grows up or something.

Lobo, if you don't like playing then leave, nothing between you and another game but air and opportunity.

Thanks, Pang. :) It is much appreciated that you actually spend the time to read these posts and possibly act on what is contained in them. :_ Thank You Very Much

Try test mars2025 timeshift server. It is still in beta-test phase already 3 years but there a bit diffirent mechanic than in a1 and privmary servers

Ah also i must say that there are a big buch of bugs on timeshift server, thats why i don't play there. But mechanic sometimes very interesting. For example builds building automaticly after some time, you just need set amount what you need. Also you can use turns for build busting.

WTF you got against drunk Irish people mother fluffER :-P

revived thread.
