I play [http://visual-utopia.com/] - its a great strategy war game.

I would like some feedback on this game... try it out and let me know what you think

This may be a perfectly innocent (and possibly legitimate) piece of wargame spam, but without a lot more detail to convince me of the OP's bona fides, there's no way I'm going to click on that link.  I have better things to do than to put my anti-virus defenses to the test.

Most of us aren't so bored that we'll click on a link just because a complete unknown describes it as a strategy wargame in his first post.  Strategy is a noun, not an adjective, and I wonder if kellaine even knows (or cares) what a wargame is.

That is your call of course.

I have been war gaming for many years.

just realtively new to war game forums on the internet

it's a real link, I just checked it out - I believe it's safe.

If you are concerned about clicking on the wrong link, there's a simple solution that takes the pressure off your anti-malware setup. Look into a program called Sandboxie, one of the favorite security programs at Wilders Security Forum. Sandboxie is free if you run just one sandbox, which is what you would use for your browser. Anything done online stays in the sandbox where it can't do any harm. I also have my downloads folder sandboxed, where I can test downloaded game files before moving them out.

In English it is perfectly correct to write 'strategy game' or 'war game'. 'Strategy war game is also perfectly clear though a clumsy arrangement. Perhaps 'strategy/war-game'or 'strategy wargame' is better, but not really.  

In any case we do allow non-native English speakers  to post here. The meaning was perfectly clear to me. This isn't French which, while a beautiful language, suffers from a surfeit of words and overzealous grammar nazis in official posts.

Your correcting my grammer?

tell me about the game

42 people from this site joined the game and no one is giving me any feedback.

Many are in my own Kingdom.

I would love to hear back from all of you what your thoughts are about the game.

From what I can see, those that have joined are having a great time with the game.  awesome...

The large backgroung map looks cool. I wonder if someone can use it for a Dominions 3 PBEM, without infringing on anything that is.

you would have to ask Zeta.

still very little feedback. but it looks like many have joined

I would like to thank everyone for their imput.

And those that have joined the game as well. more people = more fun.

We have multiple maps now and I am creating more maps to use as well.

The game is getting more exciting.

how are you enjoying the game?

I can't find a link to anything that tells me about the game and how to play it.  The link you posted at the top of this thread seems to put me right into a game with a login prompt.  There is a popup window that lists some people's comments about the game but I can't find anything that leads me to how to play the game.
