It would be nice to be able to play as a female character. Not everyone who plays is a guy, and I'm sure even the guys would agree a girl is much more pleasant to look at.
This game feels more like a work in progress than an actual game. Crusade has so many more features, and that helps to make it a wonderful game. This game isn't bad, but for it to improve, there need to be more things to spend gold on in the shop. Also, it's hard to read some of the words under the icons. Under the wiki button, it says "opens in another browser", but it's small, so it's hard to make out. Again, I love the series, so this came as a bit of a disapointment.
A tip for any player who likes to over do it. Stop adding people and start limiting your maximum ammount after you start getting lag. I way over-did it and it took 2 hours for my 7k peeps to die when it shoulda taken about 10 mins.
What is the point of this? I'll give you that the graphics are pretty, but that's all it is. There is no game here, just scenery. There's not even a way to manaipulate anything.
Just a tip: Start with getting the rudder and rely on the pinwheels to give you a boost, keeping fairly close to the ground. I was able to go 3k meters with only a couple bars of fuel, this method seems to work well.
