So thought I'd look this game up again and I'm quite shocked it still exists!! Things seem quiet here, what's changed in the last 13? Years? Who is still around?

Those with a good memory will know me by my foot and trolling posts!

mainly bots. You can grab all the land you want without any retal. so fun

some formulas and bots are landsource now.

old strats work still but need honing to work better.

http://www.earthempires.com/alphaffa is nice place to test strats.

But if you accidently hit a real person, prepare to be slapped badly

and how badly depends player and how was his/her day (mood).

well I played years ago as well and thought i would look it up again as well playing a few countries trying to remember different things as well. Back in the early parts of this game when there was integrity you would never just kill countries off for no reason. They actuall had to commit some form of attack against your clan otherwise left them alone. ICD there is a clan from the past.

So bots are acceptable now?

Hitting a real person causes retal? So I'm guessing gone are the days of negotiation. So how does war work? Is it still a battle of words and an argument over messenger?

To be fair wicked, untagged countries were always fair game, they made the game if there wasn't a war.

That happened then too! Lol


I was in TC NHDP which got it's name from a merger

Years ago we ran 1000's of countries without a bot. Used to play with ICD and stay up most nights with a gentle man from Greenland. Well that will be the last time i use the same name and numbers. back to buliding multiple countries just for war. Lets see if we can play like i used to. time to hook up that little box and start programing again

yes we know some players ran 1k+ countries with or w/o bots in past.

today players still aren't allowed to run countries with bots.

game runs bots now which screw up market and provide land for those who grab it (besides their own countries).
