Same from what era lol,

Get a few new recruits every year, and lose of few of the veterans...

Are Nojis, koala, alexheartnet, and limey still playing?

[mahks]

Have not heard from Koala for several years, the others were around last year.

The vast majority of players are much less conflict oriented than a few years ago.
Last game no major war!
Game previous Limey had the run of the field and intimidated everyone 

A lot of cooperative play, maybe too much. Fertile ground for some more aggressive types.

What was your game alias?

[Zazmio]

Glad to hear that Limey did well.  I seem to remember him struggling most games.  It must be a pretty good game if you have players stick with it after all these years.

Been playing. Its fun. You'll likely spend a fair chunk of the 1st game learning how things work but as long as you team up with someone who knows the game it seems fairly forgiving.

Looks like we will have another round soon. A test game for recent changes is going on now, largely an agent and component rework, but the Dev is planning on going for a full round soon it looks like.

It's a fun 4x strategy game. Turns are every 10 hours and games usually last for a few months. We had a full combat rework last year that feels pretty good.

I tried a test game of this a year or 2 ago. I had to stop because I knew if I kept playing I would have spent way too much time fiddling with everything and thinking about it and knew I didn't have time for that daily 

Seemed very cool though!
