I suspect the main reason that even an inexperienced sub is better than the AI is that the AI isn't bound by previous diplomacy and nor are other players bound by any deals once it goes AI. Thus AI nations tend to get crushed, since they're likely to randomly attack you unexpectedly.

heya fellas. I'm a 23 year old lad from sweden who finally decided to pick this game up after playing the demo a few years back ^^

I'm a big fan of deep strategy games like this, Masters of Orion, Europa Universalis:Rome and Knights of Honor.

I'm also a big RPG fanatic <3

Hey so i just recently got this game after playing the demo like 7 times in a week and im absolutely addicted to the single player. Still i can tell that it is built for multiplayer and despite the fact that i have played many TBS game and games such as EU i have never really played a game designed so well for MP in the way it was meant to be played so i decided to join here.

Good move.

Yes the game is well designed. But dont feel you have to rush it. Enjoy the game solo for as long as its enjoyable that way.

And DEFINITELY explore all of the nations. They are unique with different advantages and disadvantages. Some are built around specific modes of play. Offensive, defensive, research, horde, stealth, etc. Find the nation which best suits your style of play.

When you enter into MP you will feel that you have discovered the one obviously overpowered nation. But keep in mind that everyone else has also, and theirs is not the same as yours. Yours is "obviously overpowered" in solo play only because it works great with you as its master. Then the fun begins all over again.

Hi all,

I discovered this game some months ago and I definitively love it like all others deep strategy games.
I decided to register there because I only played solo and in a near future i want to join the multiplayer adventure too
The background of nations inspired me so perhaps i'll draw some artworks of units for fun.

Hope to see you in games soon,
Bye

We can always use more artists. Themes, backgrounds, screens, YouTubes, and of course modding more sprites for the game.

I can do some pixelart, perhapas if I try to create a nation on day, but I was thinking more about some fanart painting of units, just for fun (some exemples of what I do: http://pymous.deviantart.com/)

And I hope i'll be able to play some multiplayer game next week.

Unit art can make you well known here also.
There are some units in the game that are frequently referred to, or jokes made, or little bits as if that unit were speaking its mind. Kindof our own version of LOL_kitties. It would be fun to have some images to link to other than the little sprite.
