Your advertisement banner is way too close to the play game button. You're going to look like you get fraudulent clicks with all the people clicking your ads accidentally.

shit you are right (damn adblocker lets me miss those things). Will fix asap. Thanks

Are you kidding me? You don't even watch the own ads you make your visitors see?

Played a game, my opponent's color was so similar to mine I didn't even know I was being attacked. :| Green and slightly darker green.

You might be color blind. I noticed the same problem and I am tritanomaly color blind. You can see if you are here: http://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simula... For me, clicking the tritanomaly button doesn't really show a difference, but my friends say it's a drastic difference. I've lived most of my adult life not knowing. I previously thought there were just a lot of designers that picked poor c…

I had the same problem (I'm not color blind). First game, I was light green. When dark green player started attacking me, I thought my army squares where on steroids (or something similar). It wasn't clear it was a different player killing my army.

The game servers are a bit overloaded right now so the game is running kind of slow, but the congestion should improve soon - thanks for your patience.

1. Ads are based on the user. Its unlikely i ever see the same my users see

2. It is against the adsense rules to do that and could get me banned

I dont know how others do that, but you are supposed to not create ad traffic on your own account.

Edit:// I realize how stupid this all is. Internet advertisment IS stupid. But it makes me money and keeps me interested making new sites and fixing old sites.

Hi! I just spent a couple of hours to this. Great game, very fun. A feedback point: while playing, the absence of any kind of animation of fights make me wonder whether there are bugs when playing that lose points, or if someone attacked me without me losing. Something like a blip, with/without noise, when a fight happened might be great. Another one: the stronger the position, the stronger my hue would be great to q…

great suggestions, thanks

This was really fun! Couple notes: * In the tutorial, if you capture the city before the message about capturing it comes up (which is the most intuitive thing to do), the message just disappears instantly and you don't learn what cities actually do. * I didn't realize you could queue up WASD moves until like halfway through my first game, and it's pretty essential to good play. Would be nice to put in the tutorial.

did you not see the part about WASD moves in the tutorial? It actually is in the tutorial, but maybe the fact that you captured the city early skipped the WASD part
