Grand Strategy has never been very good

elmago79 · Post by **elmago79** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 3:33 am

Grand Strategy sucks. I joined but quickly discovered it's quite limited when compared to CC. And CC is getting better.

well i have 2 games going on grand strategy and CC and I don't see much difference between the two. maybe Grand Strategy looks better. prettier pictures for the units.

CC has a lot more games you can join and it loads faster but grand strategy has more different ways to play. grand strategy also has a bunch of really big maps, seems like hundreds of countries.

also CC has forums

map design was poor
web page structure very messy
scoring a joke
messaging bad

I agree (especially that the scoring is a joke). I have also tried LandGrab and I don't like it very much. The map quality is poor because anyone can put up a map - Maps there don't go through any type of screening process like they do here. (I even submitted a Chess map that i have been developing (but i havn't had much time to work on it recently) there to test playability).

conquerclub wasn't on wiki until fairly recentlty but all the other internet risk sites were and probably had been for a while, i put cc on to the list of unofficial risk sites (dough someone changed what i said within a couple of days). Its pretty crap that the other sites got advertising for ages (i assume) and we were taken off so soon, i havn't tried all the other sites but waw was nowhere near as good and dominate had no free play option so i didn't try

Hmmm...

I actually found conquer club through wiki back in june, and it was the first on a list of risk variants. Perhaps it got deleted somewhere in that time period but it USED to be on there!

surely the traffic just shows that our members r more addicted to the site than others

we just hav a lot of sad members like me who spend far to long refreshing the games page to c if its my turn yet

All the links to risk-variant sites got deleted from the page some time ago - apparently they violated Wikipedia's guidelines - there's a long (& not that interesting) discussion about it on the "discussion" page.

My god that's one boring discussion...

Fantius · Post by **Fantius** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 10:45 pm

I'd be curious to see a graph of the number of conquer club members over time. Does that information exist?

AndyDufresne · Post by **AndyDufresne** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:28 pm

I thought it would be interesting to revive this...as we often have 700+ users online at a time now, and we are close to 1000 at our peak.

ConquerClub is that wonderful blue line.

As you can see WAW is that green line across the bottom.

LandGrab.Net is the red barely above that.

Flopping through and above those is DominateGame.

And DenizenGames, for many months had the up on CC, but since Dec. we've grown and grown higher and higher above the competition.

Those "spikes" are every Monday.

niiice graph.

Fireside Poet · Post by **Fireside Poet** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:36 pm

Strange ... that upswing coincides with the number of RT games I play.

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:41 pm

wow very good, now try google vs conquer club!

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:43 am

Im not surprised by CC dominating... in fact, look at the other sites.
I visited waw site today:

Total Players: 335. Online Now: 3
Current Server Time: March 3, 2007, 7:30 am

^^ defunct site.

Then I visited the upgrade account page... and then I was shocked!

- with a free account, you can play 5 games, but you can read only the chat and the forums...
- the premium account costs 25 USD / year (Me >>

)

CC may have expanded the market. Learned about it along with a half a dozen new regulars from uselesstriviaman, who post a message about it to a small message forum in January.

I'd not played an online risk game before CC. Probably wouldn't have wanted too.

The ranking system here is absolutely hilarious. I think it's the new maps like World 2.0 and Middle Earth and other user generated maps which makes the difference for me and other online Risk newbies.

Ham · Post by **Ham** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:14 pm

I dont know how to display the graph but I check to see if CC is doing better than Hamsterdance.

Hamsterdance had more hits than us for a month.
Didnt expect this. Check it out.

I found CC through a link at the bottom here

P.S. Is tribal wars a pure risk site, or does it have different games, too?

Tribal Wars isn't a risk site.

I found CC from W@W...

Tribal Wars isn't a risk site.

Ya I know. I was just finding out how much bigger Tribal Wars was than us. Plus quite a few of us play there so I thought it might be nice to know.

good news guys.

Just checked we now beat a certain citrus fiesta in hits.
