Just thought I would remind everyone that the game will be reseting on the 1st of April.
What to expectThe new ports will be in the game, but they are going to be very rare and valuable. I think we will see some new strategies relating to these ports. Hopefully trading will last a bit longer with them in the game.
Colonists limits will be raised a bit. And maybe the bonuses. I like to see a game finish near or above the 100 mill point mark and the changes with the planet limits last round made that a bit tougher.
New things coming to the game There will be at least one new probe added perhaps 2, so be prepared for some interesting new tools.
If all goes well a surprise will be coming to the game... Can't tell you what it is yet... but will raise the evil addictiveness of the game even higher.
I want everyone to be warned in advance. The game isn't necessarily set in stone at the start. There will always be some changes that maybe happening through out the game. Usually changes are limited to bug fixes and non-game killing changes. The game is a fluid organic beast.
If your going to set a strategy of play based off of a single element of play, you may find your self in a pinch to win. The best strategy is going to be a well rounded playing style of a combination of Trader, Builder, Attacker and Defender. The overall goal is that not a single style of play can enable you to win. Skill sets and teams should cover all 4 types of play.
PJ may add to this post with any information pertinent to any changes in the game.
For those who want to know when something is added, we have added a twitter account of
aatrade or in twiitter speak @aatrade we have also designated a twitter group as
#aatrade not much there yet. But the plan is to use the channel to monitor game info and to post updates etc so players that monitor twitter will know when a change happens. Hopefully it will be a worthwhile tool for us.
