hi all!
or maybe need to think about why so many empires going to be abandoned.
I see some reasons.
1, when players log in to a restarted realm many of them check the skills of the generals first (after build palace) what is random generated. if we find it useless we are abandone that reg immediately.
2, the same case if there is no good special resources around the empire. because we think why we should start a reg with useless generals or no good special resources around the empire? and you can bet on that diamond players do the same, because they wont invest into empires like these.
there can be a solution for the first case, to choose the inborn talents, or at least one of the two. but only when the game starts or restarts.
for the second case I think its more hard to do it, but what if we have opportunity to choose our own place on the map when game starts or restarts?
and there is connection to the real life, because all nomad tribes and nations choosed that place to their settlements what they find good
(or found cities) for example I am hungarian and my nation did a long-long journey until they found the good place for the country. its called country conquest
or you can give us the opportunity for resettlement like when we found colonies or found trade posts. but this case the whole empire will travel to the new place. there can be price for that by 4 kind of resources.
and I have a further suggestion connected to this. since I play this game I am waiting for real colonization, real conquest of new territories. we need sea and rivers and lakes to the map
we can have brand new special resources like fish, crab, clam what will give us similar bonuses like wheat or rice. and also important because of trade. (river and sea routes) then we can train explorers, build ships and do discovery journeys to expand our empires and found colonies. there can be quests in achievements too. then we will have fleets and there can be sea battles too. or with this features you can develop a v7 for us, or v6 colonization
I play strategy games since 20 years because its never ending love
and imperia online can be the best online strategy game ever! it has the most reasonable fund to advance more better
I am pretty sure those who play IO most of them grew up on Age of Empires, Civilization, Total War series and games like these, and we all dreaming about the perfect strategy game what wash together these classic's best features into a real time strategy game.
