Hate the web client?

I can throw an IRC client your way too!

There is even a telnet client too!

So much text! so much waiting! the suspense is crazy!! CrazySuspence! (that was on purpose!!)

apparently I never tried the web client in anything but Safari and it behaves...Interesting. I'll be correcting that soon

Fixed! had an id= instead of a name=

Safari didnt mind however fox and IE did

May 04, 2008 CrazySpence link

How do I sign up for this thing? I click on the new player tab and nothing happens, the page just kinda reloads.
I'm using IE and Firefox btw.

it'll add you with that name and password

How do you build vehicles?
I already built a jeep factory and hired the 500 workers. Now what do I have to type to make them? "train", "hire", and "build" don't work.
Nov 03, 2008 CrazySpence link
every jeep factory can build 1 jeep per hk based on 0 favour

so wait until house keeping and you should have a jeep

the "info" command will tell you when the next housekeeping is, they are every 2 hours

check out the market "r m" to look for units for sale by the game

the "help" command ill also list commands that aren't covered by the manual

if you haven't seen the manual yet it is at http://doomsday.philtopia.com
Nov 03, 2008 Shadoen link
So I can only make 1 vehicle per hk?

edit: I did read the manual, but there are some things it doesnt mention :/
Nov 03, 2008 CrazySpence link
1 vehicle per factory, i for example have 15 tank factories right now.

Actually as it states on the forum (doomsday forum) it was down for upgrades as i prepared to launch 1.2.5 which I just did

fresh new round as I won the last one (w00t) so anyone playing will have to newplayer again have fun!

You bastid! :(
Its gone, everything's gone. I already had a massive army strong enough to take you on.
Nov 09, 2008 CrazySpence link
Military only gets you so far. Shuttles and missiles win/lose the game!
Nov 10, 2008 Touriaus link
argh....I did all that reeesearch...
Nov 10, 2008 CrazySpence link
you never even expanded your nation...i assumed you werent actually playing.

if you expand your nation you can have all the topics researched in less than a week

you can have enough researched in 4 days to build all the good military units.

The essential point of the game is to become the first nation to escape doomsday which you do via shuttles and once that happens the earth gets killed by a roid and the game restarts

Currently an average game of doomsday is only around 20 days. However with more people it tends to last longer due to the presence of more missiles. So newplayer and start again and maybe you'll be the next to escape doomsday!

btw if you have spucks telnet plugin you can play inside VO with it connect to philtopia.com and enter your playername and password

Well I can't play it all the time, and I wasn't sure how to expand, low population etc. I didn't realize the game was so short :/ thats no fun.
