Re: your favorite multiplayer games
 

I'm currently in love with this game:



It's like a simplified Civilization but massively multiplayer. I mostly play it while I write or code since there's quite a bit of downtime.

Your game sounds like the best part of Tabula Rasa, Ide. The thing I loved about Tabula Rasa (and it might be the only thing I loved about it) was taking bases. Come to think of it, that's one of the things I loved about Dark Age of Camelot, too. I must just like taking things.

Well, not that far away from a mud, since it's all about typing the right words:

Good one kodath, so it's online Pictionary basically? There were a ton of players on when I just checked.

Mina, that game reminds me a little of Travian -- though it doesn't seem to have a military component, is that true? (and what happened to your nick? Milawe?? 8|)

I played Travian a bit and simply couldn't get into it. Way too much downtime and waiting for resources.

It does have a pretty heavy military component, but I think people are less war crazy than the ones in Travian. (Of course I say that when there's a World War going on on my server.) Also, Travian was more about your individual plot of land. In Ikariam, you share your island with several people, and you usually find a good group of people to work with. Your political skills seem to matter a lot more, and I just enjoy the heavy trading aspects. You could go all out warlike, too, but that takes a whole different strategy.

Anyway, it's my "game of the moment". It's lovely for people who are building, coding or writing because there is plenty of downtime, but you could work on the politics for hours on end. If you decide to give it a try, drop me a PM. I have to say that Ikariam has inspired a few gaming ideas for me!

Also, interesting story about my nick... Actually, it's not interesting, but it's a bit personal. :)

My favorite RTS multiplayer game of all time has been Total Annihilation, and now its successor, Supreme Commander.
