EntropiaPlanets presents: Forum-game: Conquest - BETA!

Hi all,

We're happy to introduce a new system in beta to you. It's a turned based game, that can be found in the navigation bar under Community -> Conquest system. Please start by reading up on the "How to play guide".

The basic idea is that you join a particular nation, and battle your fellow-forum members who are members of a different nation, in an ultimate attempt to ensure your nation grabs control of the universe.

As stated, the system is currently in beta, since we are really not sure how stable the system is. Please report any problems you would find, or suggestions you might have, and our technical staff will try and cater to them.

The system will eventually be tied up to the EPD system, enabling you to use your EPD to buy resources (gold, troops, spies) in the game.

DISCLAIMER: Seeing this is a beta system, please be advised that when we turn the system live, all scores will be reset, and all progress you made will be undone.

 

We're still looking into the system ourselves. If you have any ideas, hints, tipc or tricks, feel free to chuck me a PM. I'm still trying to make sense of everything, and in due time, we'll also evaluate on whether we should tweak some of the settings (time between turns, gold etc given per turn, and what not).

Lastly, any ideas regarding how we could link this to the credits system are also most welcome. In order not to offset the game balance too much, I am thinking we build in a cap on how much can be maximum converted from your EPDs towards the game in a day/week or something along those lines.

 

The EPD idea is mostly meant to give some more meaning to the EPD system at the moment. Pretty much every activity on the forum will gain you more EPDs, but there's little to spend them on (other than banners). One idea we play with is linking EPDs to the Arcade system so playing certain games will cost you EPDs, but also give you the chance to win more EPDs.

If you're worried about others having more EPDs than you, for one, we will limit the nax amount of EPD that can be used at given times within the Conquest system, to ensure the economy will remain stable, and will not be offset by people twinking.

Other than that, if you want to gain faster EPDs, we have a few possibilities of doing so. If you do not mind forking over a few bucks, we have a paid subscription method. A free way to gain additional EPD is to help out our Mr Wiki RAZER. If you actively contribute to our Wiki system, we offer you a Wiki contributor status, which also comes with increased EPD gains. There's also running our tracker client. Every global you end up reporting to us will gain you more EPDs, and during the first month of active reporting, you will receive a free 1-month subscription (with included EPD accellerator). Lastly, encouraging friends to sign up at the forum and having them refer you as the person who recommended them to sign up is a quick EPD maker.
