Empire & State (in Links)

Looks pretty neat, it's some kind of crazy multi-player RTS. I tried playing it, and would like to warn you that it is a bit CPU intensive. It's an browser embedded java app. But it's pretty sweet so far.

I know the guy who was the chief developer over there, I actually interviewed for a job there too, but I'm not awesome enough yet to get a job there. Maybe when I'm done with my degree. ;)

Let me know what you guys think.

From the screen shots it looks nice, but im more looking for gameplay videos which there seems to be a lacking.

Shall we invade?

I tried playing this. While the concept might sound intriguing it was kind of really boring to actually play. Fighting was just you going off and attacking some square where you get to choose from three random ncb chars to kill (who are all actually exactly the same) and click attack until its dead or you are low on health. The jobs it was hard to understand how it worked really and weren't actually interesting at all. It was oh I have enough energy, click, job done energy gone that's it. Maybe once there is an economy and real politics and things allowed in the game it might be a bit more interesting, but as is its totally not worth my time.
