Doomsday now has an achievement system, there are currently only 20 achievements to start but I'm sure more will come in the future.

Also a new web client has been created to replace the awful one on my blog.

Full story + clients: http://www.philtopia.com/?p=961

telnet doesn't seem to be working, refuses connection

curse you and your ancient client requirements!

also curse the fact that I just took the damn thing off debug mode, so whatever you did. Do it again!

For anyone who has never played here is off the top of my head feature list

"so whatever you did. Do it again!"

Well, thing is I hadn't done anything. You announced it was up, so I tried telnetting to it and was refused. I tried again later a few times until I posted here.

Works now though.

Would be even better in color.

but then I am neglecting the colour blind, I cannot be that cruel

You can always play the game on the new web client under the Ms Pacman skin if you need to be surrounded by vibrant colouring

When I say it would be better in color, I mean things like coloring the research percentages based on how far along they are, making the lines of tables a different color from the table content, making commands be a different color from the results, etc. Things that enhance readability, not useless peripheral colors.

Such a feature would probably need to be optional though, since undoubtedly there are those who would find it harder to read that way than it is now.

indeed

i'll just put that request over here behind the next vendetta online feature update

I see I missed a lot when I was sleeping...

you seem to be doing alright regardless of the late start, besides the game is set to limited shuttle mode it could go on for another week or 2 easily

It's pretty easy to claw your way up from the bottom. The game starts off slow because nobody has any territory or men or money, so they have to accumulate the hard way. When you start late though, there are a bunch of people ahead of you with plenty of land and money, which becomes yours when you defeat them. And there are usually a number of bots and newbs occupying the lower and middle ranks, who are easy picking for climbing up to the top. Which is useful when you get annihilated.

Well I finally won some ground. I wish there was a way to check and see how many soldiers i have on payroll.

if only there was a report units

lol thanks :P

When will the npc factions claim their homeland?! I want to destroy them >:D

New version and new round of Doomsday!
