pretty fun but too easy
this is a pretty fun game, know what would be even funnier? A sequel featuring double the stuff : D Only thing i have to say though is that it was easy enough for me to beat it the first time so a little more challenge in the next one, because a game like this really deserves for the author to take the time to make a sequel, would be a good idea.
Good replay value; challenging.
The minimalistic yet appealing and elegant fast-paced gameplay makes for a great game. Great work!
== BUGS ==
Noticed a bug where the amount of resources added per week doesn't correspond to the amount displayed on the interface (happens with almost every government). Pretty annoying on the higher difficulties where you sometimes have to carefully micro-manage your resources. This bug happens in both the NG and Flyborg.net versions.
Maybe it's a browser-related problem? I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6 ENG.
== TIPS ==
Winning a gaming with a kleptocracy government IS possible! Here's how I did it:
Map: I
Starting point: Northern part of the largest island, near the ore resource and the river
Immediately build a mine, then a dam. Then work your way towards the ore deposit on the nearby island. Afterwards, build a TV station, a farm and two quarries. Build 2-3 coal power plants and maybe 1-2 farms.
As soon as you have enough resources, build a city or two and a college. Keep spamming coal plants (always on hills) and quarries to produce ore as quick as possible with some farms to keep your populace from whining. While you build all of this, first make your way towards the southern river of the largest island and build a dam and a mine south of it (build roads if you have to).
If you're having problems keeping the people happy, quickly colonize the second largest island and build a second TV station.
When you've more or less momentarily stabilized the situation, quickly build a fort, a Faux News TV station and start building nuclear power plants to replace your coal plants.
Keep practicing until you get it just right and you should make it. I won a kleptocracy game at the end of the 25th week.
Misc tips:
Don't build junk factories, they're huge resource hogs and don't help much if your populace is starving or dying from brown outs.
Never have more ore stored than what a building requires. If you don't know what to build: coal plants + quarries and fine tune number of farms
1 coal plant = power for 2 quarries
I didn't use biodome farms or factories when playing kleptocracy. You can try using them but I found out that quarries + farms work just fine.
pretty good
its challenging but very addicting.GOOD JOB!addiction is the key point of makin games.the more addicting the more people wiil play it.and again good job.
Good game, got potential... Shame that everything goes way way too fast... 8 weeks until coal runs out... So that's 12 seconds to collect enough resources to build a green energy source, find a place to build it, and build it... Yeah...
