An idea: add it to the Chrome app store? I'd love to see a quick-link when I open a new tab...who wants to be productive anyways?!

#22This looks pretty cool and I'm impressed that anyone could build something like it in HTML5, but as a non-gamer and someone who hasn't played a game like this before I wasn't really sure what I was doing or how I was suppose to play.

#23it does not work in opera 11.01. stops at lobby, start game does not do anything.
Firefox 3.6.13 is also very slow and hard to respond, but I guess that's not your problem.

#24It looks much better than before. As a novice flash programmer myself, I'd love to know how you go about creating tile sets. I've never done a 4x game, but I used to love them and there don't seem to be many out there in recent years.

Sure. The tileset can be found here:

The isometric map is basically rendered using the HTML5 canvas element, by image clipping tiles from the tileset.

#27Hi again HN, It's now been over a year since the first time I asked HN to review my webapp ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1005299 ), so now I would really like to ask the HN community to review my HTML5 online strategy game again. I have fixed all of the issues that were reported the first time, so now I would really appreciate some advice and ideas about what to do with this project from now on. I would be ha…
Is there any way to mess around with the UI without setting up the whole environment? I see a few bits I'd like to clean up but man that's a lot of bootstrapping :)

You will have to setup the entire environment. It will take a few hours to set everything up. I'll be happy to give you any help in setting it up. The documentation on github is a little out of date, so if you are interested I can update it for you.
As a start, perhaps you could open a new issue on the project's github page and we'll discuss the changes that you propose. Bugreports are just as valuable as patches at the moment. Good luck!
