Don't spend your Kreds on Caesary if you see new hacks going around. All new hacks are reported in the sticky thread. Check it out before spending your Kreds.
@wopa, you said, "When you click a guy running around your city, you get a famous quote. Hey! Wait! Aren't they all from Rome:Total War? :o" The answer to your question is "Yes" and "No". Yes, many of them are the same. No, we're not copying from TW. Instead, the quotation are all from the antiquities of the Ancient Roman period. Just Google them and you'll see who said what. FYI, we did modify a few to fit them into our game context. Cheers! :>
Like xNemesis said, always PROCEED WITH CAUTION when you're paying for something. In Caesary, the last thing you want to do is to pay for the WRONG server that you're not playing in. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
@Dali176: You left a message on our comment area saying "copied this game is stolen from evony its the same it should get removed." As developer, we thank you for your criticism but we suggest you to leave your mark on the corresponding thread where a lot more other Kongers are sharing your view: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/40-caesary/topics/85477-blatant-rip-off-recurring-voices Thank you!
@cookiehoarder: You asked, "Why the hell would I EVER pay these prices for gold?" No one is forcing you to. So I guess your question is but another exclamation of the priceyness of gold. Please refer to our FAQ for more info.. I shouted to you as well.
Xyqtt, you asked, "And other question, how did you guys get to these prices? I don't find it very realistic that someone is going to pay 100 bucks for a flash game, while a normal game is around 50 bucks." And I know this reply will get negatively rated till it's unseeable. The short answer is, "Yes!" The long answer can be found in the FAQ. CSP model proves empirically that given enough player base, few players will become premium players. They're not necessarily Bill Gates rich or sons and daughters of Rich Dads. They have their personal reasons to pay top dollars to enjoy the premium fun. We're most indebted to the ones who pay in the thousands range. They keep Caesary spinning. Without them, we cannot survive our 20+ developer team. CSP is popularized by some of the major developers in Asia. The Asian game world has never looked back since 2006 when CSP model was proven to be working. And we're just so happy it's working for Caesary, too. Smile.
Check forum post for server down time info.. We're switching the switch and router in the IDC. Check the forum for more info. Keep you updated there in the sticky thread.
Today's server lag issue was not a server loading issue. It was our network provider having problem with their "uplink". For more info, check: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/40-caesary/topics/86633-serious-server-lag#posts-1923870
@PuPuPatty: You said, "so let me get this straight.... to get the 10000 G package... you need 10000 kreds.... thats $1000 unless im just reading this wrong. thats redonkulus" That's the purpose of the pricing scheme: a CSP-modeled in-game economy--very small number of premium players to support the majority free players and the developers. In our next server, Kongregate Server 2, the pricing will go up even more. We, as developers, has to take up the role to try our best to maintain the in-game economy balance instead of blinded by money-making. Lowering the price can definitely get us richer cuz more will pay. But it's a sure kill of the in-game economy. An imbalanced server world will eventually crumble. We don't want that. :>
jukbob12: You've been in-game for less than 30 seconds. But I admire the speed you did your Tutorial. I must say that you're among the quickest clicker of game. I don't believe you read anything Hypatia told you though. And you haven't finished half of the tutorial. It means even a 5/5 tutor did no good to retain you as our player. I feel sorry for that. But anyhow, your broadband speed and your "click rate" is definitely 5/5. Simply can't imagine any of us can click that fast. I showed all of our developers that. They're all amazed! Cheers! :>
@diploms1: You've been in-game for less than 2 minutes. I bet you haven't even look at the game given that you have to spend time posting the comment. But anyway, nice effort in creating your own dress up game "Age of Dressing" though. Good luck with your own game development. Cheers!
@Fazbo: Perhaps it's better to bring your suggestions to the suggestion thread in the forum so that others can respond to your suggestion as well. Thanks!
@ReconSquad: You've tried to login 14 times without success since 3 days ago. I'm terribly sorry about your situation. I specifically ask one of our teammate to talk to you individually through personal IM to see what's wrong. Please talk to him ASAP to help us help you find out what's happening at your end.
There is a widely misunderstood equation that I've tried to explained to several new players recently through emails. We have not explained it well enough in-game. The thrust of the situation is that it's not as horrible as you think to be Conquered. Tributes is only 20% of the tributary city’s resources calculated based on the Base Production of Crops, Lumber, Stone and Iron without losing a drop of the Base Production value (cuz it’s needed to calculate the boost factors that comes in later). We often receive sovereign lord’s complaints about the meagerness of the tributes! So for many of the players who had experience playing other city-sim RTS Civ/Ev/TW/Trav/Ika, etc, you don't really suffer the ordeal being new! You'll even find individual sovereign lord be nice enough to be protective of your city sending more troops to protect you during your growing period.
