Tour of Generals


admin

1,260 views

For the past few months I’ve been working on a little side website project. The website is a browser based tactical war strategy game called Tour of Generals. The game is a Risk like strategy game that uses Google Maps and it involves creating, moving, and fighting armies and capturing territories on the map. The game has a wide variety of real world maps to play on including the United States, Europe, Asia, Germany, France, and lots more and many options to customize each game including the ability to set the turn frequency rate from anywhere to 1 minute turns to 24 hour turns. Players can play in multiple games at the same time so that while you’re waiting for a turn update in one game you can be active in another.

I had the idea for Tour of Generals and have been going over various concepts since around June 2007 but only recently started coding on the site in September 2008. A few moderators Cyber Nations and friends began alpha testing the game in early December 2008 and have really had a blast tearing each other apart, although I’m usually the one doing most of the tearing. :P I'll be managing CN:Standard, CN:TE, and Tour of Generals but we decided to keep the CN forums separate from the ToG forums.

Today, with the arrival of the new year I’ve rolled the game out of alpha testing and into public beta so if you’d like to play I welcome to you check out the site and sign up for free. Tell your friends and see who has the best tactical war strategies among you. To help you get started please read over the About Tour of Generals section and watch the demonstration video. Since the game is so new if you have any problems please report them in the Report A Bug section of the forums.

Ok so I tried it, and I'm kinda addicted to it >.>... I haven't given any other strategy online game the chance since I started CN, I was even hesitant to play CN:TE, I didn't want my game play to be distracted by other bull crud. But because its you almighty admin I gave it a try, I absolutely love it, seriously, its great, its like risk but 100% better and I can play when I want, I don't have to play every day like CN, my awesome CN, lol. Its very simple but thats the great part, you can come in, watch that video, read the about section and get right into it, A+ material admin, I'm happy I got something out of reading your blog (other than your awesome knowlege, and a PM from you (again, my peace flag should have been in..... nevermind))

The only thing I can think of is....

Maybe a discount to CN players? or free? to players who have been playing a long time?

Edit- or even players who have given donations to the game before *cough*

Also, you need some sort of booting method for games, people can just go in your game and go in-active, and then you cant launch the game, its really annoying when that happens. Also, I think there should be some 1v1 not ranked challenges between friends, and on that, I really think there should be a pause button that both have to agree to so that it pauses the game, this is good because when you wake up you don't have 100 turns (if your playing 5 or 10 minutes) because that is just annoying, whoever wakes up first wins?

Also, I think I found a glitch, when you have moving is half a turn on and you accidentally click the move button twice, it takes up both your turns, which absolutely stinks because you don't get that many turns if your playing a 30 min or higher.

Oh, and another cool Idea I had for it was like teams, I have met some cool people on the game and it would be fun to work as a team to achieve victory.

Edit- I was also thinking about the ranking system, and if you lose a game I know you lose, but shouldn't you get less points deducted for the longer you have been in the game if you lose? if your playing 10 people in America per say, and you get to the final two, that is really good! I think you should be either rewarded points for that or get no points deducted, although you can still have the loss added onto your permanent record :mad:

And current win loss: 3:1 -for me :)
