"Having people working independently on AoA is only going to free-up more resources to complete the things we've promised for illy, and after the world record attempt in two weeks' time we'll be fully back on with illy bugfixes."
What about moving towards open source for illy? I bet there are several players in the community who would be glad to help with bugfixes and even help towards making new content. Not sure how you feel about this, but thought I would put it out there. Looking forward to trying AoA, looks right up my alley.

In illy the most cities per player is 10- Whats the limitations set on a player in AoA?
Illy is a game of patience - it takes time to do about anything in here. In relation to that- Whats the AoA game gonna be like as far as overall time it takes to build your fleet or empire? If I play everyday multiple times a day can i reach the equivalent of 10 cities in a month? a year? I dont want to leave illy as ive got alot of time vested in the game already- but theres only so many hours in a day

Is it just me is the video's fault or at the moments of sliiiightly faster movement the edges of the screen failed to render as fast creating an effect like looking the game through a parabolic mirror ?
Personally I got dizzy by that effect, but then again I avoid many games for that reason ... but other people might find it annoying as well ... |

  Just like a "before and after" ad ! ahahahaah :p |

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?

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? |
