Another thing, remember the first artwork in Imperia? the soldier dead on his knees with the back full of arrows? well, that is the real Imperia, dark, violent with all the horros of medieval wars, the fun part, the "thing" that gives the game the imersion it had.
It started that way and now look more like a game for kids, are you trying to get that kind of market? Remember who have the money, its not them but the older players.
I really wish you guys good luck, i know all the changes that are coming and would love to be here trying them, but i cant look at all those colours and fancy butons... its not a medieval conquest game anymore.
Epic! I adore you!
