Online semi-real-time, semi-turn-based strategy game. That's not a very clear definition. It's a bit like Tactics Arena Online, I think, but it's much cooler. And it has cowboys.

It's in public beta testing right now, so there are a lot of features that haven't been added. Even so, it's still a lot of fun.

My name in-game is Billy the Adult, in case you want to play me.
 
IU made this thread 5 minutes after you did without noticing :(

Anyways, I would suggest playing it, and trying it out. Has very descriptive tutorials on how to play, and fun gameplay.

My name is Abe Fern, incase you want to play me, too :D

Edit: Sargon, I'm in Abe Fern's parlor now. Password will be: wote

See ya there!
 
Your thread was a bit more informative. :p

I'll sort of reply to it here:

As you said, not too popular yet. This is pretty much because it's in beta, and there haven't been any huge updates in a few months. Eventually, they'll release the second town, and more people should come back to play it. The second town, by the way, is going to add a whole lot more stuff, units, duds, missions, etc. Eventually, they'll have 5 towns, which will make the game a lot more deep than it is now. Check the website for more info on all that stuff.

It is free, though eventually they're going to implement a micropayment system. Basically, you use both scrip (cash) and gold coins to buy stuff. Eventually, you'll be able to buy gold coins with real money. At the moment, all you can do is trade scrip for gold. That option, of course, won't go away when they enable the real-money-payments, so you'll still be able to play for free, you'll just have to invest more time into the game. (Puzzle Pirates, the other game by the same company, is a very good example of this payment model. If you want to see how it will eventually work, go play that game on a Doubloon ocean.)

Edit: I actually need to go for like twenty minutes, but I'll be able to play after that :p
 
The name makes it worth to play... "Bang! Howdy" :shades:
 
What's wrong, people? You guys aren't scared to play me, are you? :p

If anyone wants to play, I'll be around. If I'm in a back parlor, the password will be "jumbles".
 
Hmm, how much room does it take up?
 
This game is quite fun :)

However, I doubt I'm any good at it. I'm just squashing the newbs and the comps...that's about it. Let me know when you're on Sargon; I might try contacting you in-game.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
