I have no major accomplishments like Aicy, who's one of the best zergs in the UK, but I have played a lot of RTS's in the past, such as BW and WC3. I was never near the status as a "good player". I'm just a casual guy who plays for fun and competitively amongst friends. With that being said, it doesn't take much to be good at LWG because of the simplicity of the game with very few unit interactions and low APM requirements. However, it can also be said that the game is a bit counter-intuitive when compared to popular games like SC2. It's a bit frustrating to hear people say "the game is like SC2", when in fact, it is more similar to WC2, where both players have access to the same units, so good on the OP. The game indeed has the potential to be a casually competitive game, but we'll see in the upcoming patch, where the problems of a "never-ending game" will be addressed. The amount of players right now playing at the "good level" is very low, as there are more Bronze players than Diamond and above players. This I feel is a huge problem for newcoming decent RTS players as they will immediately find the game boring with little challenge. | ||

If you needs someone to play with just message me if Im online, my ingame name is SlammerIV. I loved BW and i played a lot in the past. I also checked out LWG and it is a nice game but unfortunately nothing for me in the long run. | ||

We all thought you were a fantastic player, as seen from the OP video. I was really impressed. In fact xccam wouldn't watch anything without Aicy, veni and you, YummyBlaBla. Only tashadan said never heard of you before, well which is true, none of us know you from the BW scene  Yes, naturally for a new browser game there aren't many good players, but like us can just play play with their friends who are at our skill level, which is why we have to gather our friends from TL and other places. How is it counter-intuitive? | ||

Houses are 125g now and most units are more expensive now,which results rewarding the player who wins the fights more. | ||

I'm not sure how the price change in units will affect the game yet but houses were just too expensive | ||

I used to play this a bit when it first came out but I was always extremely frustrated by that. e: well Firefox works at least, guess I can use that. Huh, that X thing never bothers me, I find that firefox has a far greater issue where Shift click brings up a context menu, which is borderline unplayable as making buildings and shifting workers back to mine becomes a huge pain. | ||

Seems fun and well made. Also really EZ to run and get a friend to join you. Heck, you only have to provide a link. All in all that's a huge plus! | ||

Note the game works best on Chrome, other browsers can be laggey or have more annoying UI stuff. | ||
