But the Game administration is Gone with the Wind.. They treat their clients as garbage..If you start playing and quit before you get too good at the game and never Upgrade the Accnt you can have some fun than. Don't get involved into politics and dont get to be friend with the Top players as they are protected by the administration and they can cheat.. while you will never be able too.

I’ve only been playing it for a few days, so I can’t say how great it is yet, but it is interesting so far. This one is different from the previous two games in that the game is continuously running. You start out with a colony on one planet and you build structures and research technology in order to improve and expand your control. Each thing that you build or research takes a certain amount of time. You can actually watch the clock tick down until you can do something else. Each building costs an amount of credits, takes energy, and requires citizens to run, so you can’t just sit there waiting for the timer to run out. You have to plan out what is most important (economy? technology? expansion?) and spend accordingly. So far the game is cool, but it does look like more of a time commitment than the others. It’s also a fairly new game, so documentation is a bit limited. [...] [...] AstroEmpires The game I’ve started most recently is called Astro Empires (see the more detailed post about AstroEmpires).
