Astro Empires
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:34:13 pm »

Hey all, do any of you play the fun browser game called "Astro Empires"?

If you want a fun browser space strategy game, I suggest you try it out :)

If you do, start in Delta server, in Galaxy 68. Look up a player called "Quad" in the guild [ISS] "The Imperial Navy". We will gladly accept you. When you join, message me, please!

Thanks,
They Got Leader

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Start a second, new account on Delta. We will let you in. Heck, I started like 2 weeks ago...

This is a lot of fun. I enjoy it a lot and I do recommend it. They also are opening a new server soon...

Well it is, for the first month or so. After that you notice that players with upgraded accounts have a huge advantage over everyone, and if your not in the top 10 guilds, you just try avoiding getting in fights, or you will be destroyed.

I still play, but im just barely hanging on, once like every 3 days. I will likely quit soon. =/

If you get an upgraded account, I suppose it could be fun. Activity in guilds is likely the number 1 source of "fun", if your searching for it.

Join us on Ixion. With apologies to the OP, Delta is two and a half years old. There are guilds with BILLIONS of fleet. It's not a good place for a new player.

Also, I'm currently on Fenix, and I have been playing Astro Empires for several years. I might join you guys on Ixion, but its at the bottum of my list.

Well, on Delta you have little to chance of being hit until you are ready because everyone is either to high of a level to hit you, or you have guild protection. Sure, maybe in the end its a waste of time, but we still find enjoyment in races for certain tech or putting Levi's on noobs bases for the lols.

Oh, yeah. Nothing funnier than ruining someone else's fun for no reason.

Come to Ixion. That way, when someone parks a levi on your base, you'll have friends who can chase it away.
