That's right ~~achimp~~ I made a web-game. It's WW2 themed and is influenced heavily by Company of Heroes so if you like that you may possibly enjoy this too.

The basic premise is that you gain resources over time and can spend them on units and weapons. Once you feel you have enough units you can move out of your home country and attempt to kick other players out of the other countries.
Each team scores points depending on how many countries they control so the aim of the game is to keep control of as many countries as possible for your team. I'd be very interested to hear any feedback or suggestions anyone can offer:

Nice work, but unless you include Japs or Yanks, I'll be passing on this.

It won't let me login. Keeps saying login failed

Hey, a World War 2 Real Time Strategy game?

That totally sounds like a completely interesting way to make my penis bigger!

When you registered did it confirm that it had worked? Because you do not have an account in the database. I did a whole load of changes to the authentication system yesterday so I'm really hope I haven't broken it.

I guess my browser fucked up or something. I just registered again and it looks good now!

Uh oh, Guitar Woman - the pretentious aspie faggot that criticises anything she doesn't understand - has spoken. May as well just shut this whole thing down and start again. Sorry to have wasted everyone's time!

Need more Germans

How could I be expected to wrap my mind around the concept of building a million units and then clicking on the "kill everything" button

Clearly, StarCraft is the passtime of gods

Dude we all know that WWII style games aren't your thing, so not exactly a news flash. MM created a game and is simply asking for testers for Christ's sake. Go in the thread that was meant for bitch*ng and moaning about video games because that's what it's there for.

Try it or don't, but please just shut the fuc* up in this thread.

If this game was about collecting resources to make clove cigarettes and My Chemical Romance cds Guitar Woman would be all over this.

Good point. I've added a little message to the registration page that informs new users which team has the fewest players which should hopefully encourage new people to keep the teams balanced.

Tadao · #14

Lol I signed up for Germans because I knew no one wanted to.

MattJack · #15

I would have went Germans if I had known before. It is something like 6 v 1

I found a bug that lets me get the best weapon right away.

MetalMilitia · #17

One thing - this is actually hosted here:

So it may be a a little slow at times. Truth is I have no idea how well this rubbish server will cope with any number of users but that's all part of the test so just give me a shout if it's retardedly slow as I'd be interested to know.

Also feel free to tell me if anything confusing/counter-intuitive/rubbish as the site is still very much in development and some parts may need work.

~~Is it showing your munition as 100 from the get-go? I think I've broken something.~~

~~Ah crap no I see what's going on. Thanks for the heads-up.~~

Fixed now.

Internet Explorer:

I'm seeing in some of the text fields that letters like p and j get cut off a little when they're on the bottom line.

Also on the Manage Company page, "resources" and "requisitions" are misspelled. I checked dictionary.com to see if it was some bizarre british spelling, but they said no.

MetalMilitia · #21

Haha, fuck. I can't believe I didn't check I spelt that right. It's going to be a bitch to change requisitions as it's used in loads of functions and shit.

Btw, when you post a bug could you tell me your browser also, cheers.

Zomboid · #22

There should be a little "click to close" button or something for pop-up windows. Like in the war room or whatever it's called.

Tadao · #23

I've got a German in Firefox, IE, and Opera now.

MetalMilitia · #24

With the overlays (message/attack etc) you can just click anywhere outside of the main bit and it will close. Are those the things you mean?

I think you're right though as most people would probably expect a close button.

Yeah at first I was like wtf how do you close this shit. It wasn't hard to figure out, but it would be nice to have an X
