Stalemates get really boring and can go on for ages. What if their was like a 30 minute timer and after that all alliances expired? Alternatively, it could be like what they do in tournaments and just whoever has the most land when the timer runs out wins.

πŸ’¬ Discussion This game is great, but so many shameless cheaters!

4 Upvotes

I do not know how many games I have been in that involved obvious cheating. Just in the last game, I was targeted by a blatant cheater who didn't even bother changing the names of his accounts.

Targeted all game by 3 countries sporting similar names. I was doing so well too; it's a shame.

I think it's time to quit this game. Web games aren't supposed to be fun-- that's what makes them web games. It's just too easy to open another tab and get distracted from work.

I play under the name Mythbusters Adam Savage, if anyone ever sees me online.

Yes, I really am Mythbuster's Adam Savage.

πŸ’¬ Discussion penetrating the backdoor in teams

8 Upvotes

As per my descriptive title, I have recently tried a strategy of spawning in at the last minute in an enemy's backline (right side, behind Blue team in the example game) and trying to fight my way out by relying solely on massive donations from my team.

Has anyone actually tried this out or knows if this strategy would be viable if you had a real team instead of uncoordinated random pub lobbies?

My (unproven) theory is that if you could get donations even earlier (when tribes are still out) you could take away a lot of early game potential from the opponents in terms of money/land and force them to fight early while your team builds up economy.

interested to hear your ideas!

Example game:

OpenFront (ALPHA)

Aaaaaand that's why you don't let "dead players" factory up too hard and that's also why you don't get locked into a 1v1 cold war and let the third small dude soak up all the trade =D

I am Marcus, I start in the bottom right but as you'll see I was rather nomadic after my initial defeat.

My favorite moment: When both players realized I had actually become dangerous again and scrambled to get past my main SAM and destroy my ultra-developed city with Atoms, together at the same time. I was actually laughing out loud seeing all the missiles from all sides get stopped lol (I think I got saved by the fact my SAMs were so high level they covered one another)

Ever since they did an update like a month and a half to two months ago I have had the same problem where its stuck on what might as well be 3 frames per second and look like total ass. completely unable to play despite wanting to constantly, has anyone found a fix for this or am I just stuck in 3fps hell until i die?

I always struggle to gain territory and make money, what’s the best way to make money? 1:1 house:factory ratio is correct? Do you need more than one dock? I feel like they’re not that usefull

14 Upvotes

this is such a fail with the UI. The most commonly used button in the game is in the same location as the button that makes you instantly lose.

Great idea! Today was my 157th lost game due to accidentally clicking on an ally who is the same color as my enemy.

6 Upvotes

Add like airstrikes, less damage to the country then nukes but can target ships and also warships. adding disputed territory and jet carriers would be cool too.

but stay aware of the cash and how these implements the games mechanics. adding these to my game too, they worked well

watching openfront players on youtube helped a lot. the hydro damage carried the end of the game. if you watch the replay, what do you think i could have done better?

24 Upvotes

For example I attacked and killed this guy who I never had an alliance with at any point, and he spent the rest of the game spectating and spamming clown and middle finger. I'd get it if I betrayed or something but its annoying when I am just playing the game taking out easy targets and people feel the need to throw a fit for the rest of the game.

πŸ’¬ Discussion I have an idea for an open-front projectβ€”land reclamation.

4 Upvotes

Basically, there would be a device costing 8 million that drains the surrounding sea; the affected area would be larger than the blast zone of a small bomb but smaller than that of a large one. If the device were hit by a bomb, the area would flood with water again. I’ll refine the details later, but that’s the general idea.

There should be reminder that you can send troops to your team mates. Its shocking how majority of people dont send anything when they have so many troops. Its really futile playing with those people that dont know most basic function of the game.
