Fans of Neptune's Pride or 4X & CCG- join me in BLIGHT of the IMMORTALS!

hey all!

Iron Helmet Games (maker of awesome space-betrayal-simulator/slow RTS Neptune's Pride II: Triton) are currently testing out their latest browser-based strategy game, BLIGHT OF THE IMMORTALS- and i'm looking for a few good bombers to join a 6 player game!

for those unfamiliar- this is very similar to the board game 'diplomacy' -think of it like a simplified Civilization (and in that regard it is very similar to Neptune's Pride).

where blight differs, however, is that they've layered a CCG component to gameplay (something akin to hero units with special abilities). ALSO the game is fundamentally cooperative- it is not competitive.

i had such a good experience with neptune's pride that i ponied up for a premium account and can create my own games. right now i'm waiting on 3 players to get a larger one started, so if this is something that sounds interesting head here-

and sign up with the password 'whatsgoodmiley'

in case you're wonderingmy handle is 'tbird5000'

if there's enough interest, i'd be more than happy to start additional games- and i'm sure the devs would appreciate the extra beta testers while they work out the bugs. hope to see yall in there!

edit: BONUS GAMEPLAY PRIMER

I'm in.

The tutorial grabbed my interest, so I've signed up as the trolls.

nice! just need one more and then i'll hit the 'go' button. i'm still figuring them out as we go, but if you have any questions about mechanics feel free to ask (it's pretty straightforward).

e: alright! it's started!

we did it! thanks for playing guys- i'm probably gonna start a new one up soon on a higher difficulty. let me know here if you're interested.

also if anyone else reading this is intrigued, let me know and i could possibly set up another game as well.

I'm interested in another match.

@yothatlimp: @mikelemmer:

Awesome, I'm joined up. Thanks!

@mikelemmer: @yothatlimp:

can't stop won't stop! i'm going to set up a third game- this one will probably be a doozy (i'm hoping). i'll post the details here when it's up (if yer still n2it).

Yeah man, sounds good! I think we could do with a bit of a difficulty bump, hah!

Heh, dunno if I'm ready for Nightmare yet, but hell, I'll try it.

@yothatlimp@mikelemmer

i'm not going to lie, this will probably crush us.

same pass we've been using!

@mellotronrules: Also, I was discussing Queen's Maul and some players stated that's the easiest 6-player map.

So... yeah. We might be biting off more than we can chew.

ha, fantastic!

Hey Guys. I'm the developer. Feel free to dump your feedback here in this forum if you have any. You can also email me directly of course!

Great to see some of you jump in a second game at least!

Can you play this single-player? Looks interesting, but I don't want to jump in w/o trying it on my own first :) (also just tagging for later)

@ethanielrain said:

You can! There's a playable tutorial and singleplayer missions and everything! Still beta though, so you might see some changes.

Awesome, your game is good! I also loved Neptune's Pride as well.

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!!

nice job gang! AND we have the high score...

...(by default, we're the only ones on the leaderboard haha).

i think i'm going to take a couple weeks off, but they just added some new maps so i'm thinking i'll get another one together in a couple weeks and post in this thread. let me know if you're into it!

If anyone wants to keep playing, I've started a Hard 4-player game on the new map. Link to game is here, password 'glhb'.
