Will there be mutiple alien species to choose from, will each have their strengths and weaknesses, will we be able to conquer planets, will we be able to claim control of space lanes, will we have to be online all the time to protect ourselves from obliteration, will there be a research tree similar to Illy, will there be multiple gameplay aspects like Illy, will there be alliances and will they have a limit on number of players, will there be interactive npcs, will there be a market economy, will there be quests and story arcs, will there be a gc similar to Illy, will we be limited to one account?

Why promissing to answer to all of our question on AoA here as all we wanted for long is answer about what's happening and will happen on Illiriad???
I'm kind of puzzled...

I quit playing EVE a couple of years ago because it really did not fit my playing style - exploration and trade. I hope AoA will avoid some of the weaknesses of EVE, expecially the one where every bit of "uncivilized" space is controlled by gangs of powermongers.
I like the "one player = one pilot" style of EVE, but I do not like the way you get forced into associating with others to get anything done. It is fine the corporation-building is an option, but it is not OK that the "lone wolf" player or the loosely affiliated bunch of pilots do not have a chance to go beyond the strictly controlled empires. Another thing i hate about most space games is the unrealistic physics. It is just silly to have spaceships maneuver and act like aircraft. Physics simulation is both possible and practical today. Technologies should follow a pattern and use of them should open the possibility of gradual refinement. There should not be any attempts at "play balancing" - the bane of most games. The players will do the balancing by choosing what works best and making innovations in use of what is available, the game needs to have mechanisms which allow that kind of innovation.

Can I pretty, pretty please attach rocket boosters to my Stalwarts now? And, perhaps have them ride sharks who shoot laser beams if I ask nicely? ;)

The piece touched on many aspects of the "what is AOA" question but I was hoping for something more direct. Is it only a space based FP shooter? Is there some sort of 4X component? What does it offer to someone interested in Illy other than the technology (HTML 5)? Is there a community component? Is it like WoW or ESO but set in space and with a spaceship instead of armor, swords, bows, etc...? Honestly, the last one is what I took from reading the teaser and watching the video but there are giant holes in any theory.
Has the idea of TBL been officially cancelled? What about the 100% zoomable 3D map, that seemed complete. What about progress on factions, is that over too? You mention getting back to Illy "bugfixes" but what about the rest of the proposed changes? |

One of the things I like best about Illyriad is resource management -- that is, the process of generating and allocating resources to effectively build my cities and armies. I'm not so much into the combat aspects of the game. Will there be anything to interest me in Age of Ascent?
