I was advised to post this:
gimme some permissions to that site or post this for me:
i find this game interesting as its really empire building with lots of crap to do and how you want to play it
http://www.imperiumnova.com:8080/Imperium/
wanna run all political and try and become emperor - you can
wanna run like we did in our early days of eve online, or at least my early days anyway, moving goods around for profit - you can do that to but watch out where there are monopolies on trade or you can have people get feud scores against you and come fight you
wanna be all covert ops and steal info, money or even assassinate someone - you can do that as well
wanna mine for geological deposits - you can do that
wanna be an explorer and find new planets - yep you can do that as well
wanna team up and kill the poohbahs - send me a message - oh wait - different game - you can't do that here
The level of involvement is based on what you feel like really and as long as you haven't pissed someone off by attacking them first or your covert operations against them haven't been discovered you are golden to do just do your thing
downsides:
you don't really get to choose where you end up - the game discourages being able to set up with your friends as you will end up getting thrown into a random self contained galaxy with other players- this prevents asshats from running a whole galaxy themselves- however an alliance feature can still make asshats do this but these asshats wouldn't know each other in rl
there doesn't seem to be a lot of players in this game (my galaxy only has 16 currently) so opportunities to do things are there but any really old house or a subscriber is going to have an advantage
subscriber has an advantage due to being able to work in more than just two spheres of influence (im currently runnin psionic and geological) but being able to make more money n other spheres gives you more options to accumulate wealth etc
old houses will have advantage of time really - their covert ops guys have been around longer meaning they aren't rookies like yours will be so they get bonuses to do missions - same goes for their military - the only way to really hurt an old house is to do it politically from what i can tell and it helps if you have an alliance backing your politics to get senators elected and cause some chaos
imperium nova sounds great. too great. for myself i can't play real time games, yes time is slowed down, but really that just allows an ambitious builder to accomplish that much more! maximizing the potential of a new empire on a landscape dominated by old houses is engrossing, too engrossing for me.
ReplyDeleteYes Playing rt games against a minmaxer like bingo would be bad.
Deleteso currently - i've decided to become a miner who explores for new worlds to rape them of their resources - it was probably a better idea to become a trader who sells stuff for profit like a ferengi and explores new worlds as the commodity prices on newly found worlds is supposed to be low - so turning a profit that way probably made more sense but i'm committed to geology sphere now with 40 facilities happily churning out profits
ReplyDeleteas for min maxing - there is only so much you can do with what you have available to be honest - so really it might only take a few minutes a day to actually play this game - all of my money is currently going into exploration probes for the most part so i could not log in for two days and i'd be no further ahead than i was two days ago as that is how long it currently takes me to send one of these out
the evil one
so after a year of playin im still a mner who dabbles in politics to piss off the senate - im going to go the religious route once i build up enough with it using an exploit i found- yeah i'm a dick but i dont care - its coded that way so they can plug the code if they wanted to stop me
ReplyDeletethe evil one
you still playing this hippy?
