Not sure if this has been asked before. But is anyone who lurks here occasionally playing it? Or is anyone interested in playing it?

If so let me know as I just started playing it 2 days ago and have today started the 'Tiberiumweb Alliance' in hopes of catching some attention on the game to the forums here. In it's description I have linked to the forums (don't think that's against their rules...guess we'll find out) so people who read it may end up coming here. Of course even if they join here they'll need to get validated before being able to post...but hey...a little extra potential for life here ain't bad.

To describe the game... It's a browser based game in which you build up your bases and I guess...try to take over this 'Forgotten Land' which is inhabited by the forgotten. As of right now it seems, on the server i'm on anyways, that you're restricted to using GDI. And outside of just other players you can/have to attack Forgotten camps, outposts, and bases in order to gain control of the middle of the island.

It relies on time based increments. For example upon building a harvester on a tibfield, it'll start collecting and after X amount of time you'll be able to click to collect it's load. When you upgrade a harvester it increases the amount it holds per load but also increases the amount of time a little bit that it takes to be able to collect. You need, tiberium, blue 'crystals', and power for various upgrades to structures, base defense, or offense. So far it seems the tibfields in your base do not run out. Powerplants run about the same. They produce X amount of power per load. Refineries are similar but produce X amount of Credits per load. Credits along with Research allow you to research new things for your offense and defense sections. Research you get by attacking camps, outposts, and bases.

If you want to see pictures of it then well I'm sure you know how to use Google and Youtube. lol

Overall it's one of those games that, when you start things move relatively quickly...but as you progress there's longer periods of waiting. I assume once you manage to get a second base that things get faster as you'll have two bases to run with instead of just one.

But yea...if you play or decide to play, post here about what your name on it is, and what your Base is called. I go by Ixith there and my base is currently called Fort Holixe. Coordinates are 637:897.

Never really got any interest in it despite how much I've stuck to the past Tiberian games. Doesn't make too much difference to me if it's FTP or not. Edit; holy crap, I actually have 280 posts here? What is this...

holy crap you do have 280 posts here...

on another note. Alliances isn't really anything all that great really. I think a lot of the people who play it have never played a real C&C game before either lol. What gets me is that the strategy gets thrown out the window through leveling/upgrading your units. And I think eventually the plan on allowing research upgrades eventually too which may or may not make things better. Not sure if my creation of the 'tiberiumweb alliance' has brought some people here or not...but I think I have 23 members in my alliance now. lol
The game just gets really slow once you get to a certain point as you have to wait on command points so you can attack a Forgotten camp/outpost/base or a player base and upgrade costs for your structures and units goes up a lot each time and each time you upgrade something that produces resources the wait to collect the package gets longer. I think I'm at 5 hours per package on my shortest one right now. But...if you're gonna sit online for a good while each day or even if you're just going to pop in and check every so often it's something to do.

current coordinates on World 13 [USA East Coast Server]
-681:852 Fort Holixe
-682:854 Fort Asvetia

So if you play and are on that server or if you join that server...find me and send me a message. wink1.gif
