let us use EA's own Slogan to help Emperor

[Navaros]

"Challenge Everything"

that is EA's own slogan.

so therefore, EA must not mind when we challenge them to patch Emperor.

[Nyarlathotep]

Added to that, I have sent them an e-mail a while ago in which I offered to take on the support for EBFD, via Game Heaven or via here. As you've guessed, I never heard anything back..

... sigh ..

nav your hoping a little to much

nav your hoping a little to much

the time for hoping is long past

now is the time for action

It sounds good in theory, but theyll just ignore us. They basically disowned emperor in favour of the C&C series.

Put yourself in their shoes... You have games which are selling much better and which earn you more money.

Some kids from some forum challenge you to patch emperor.

What will they do? My guess is theyll laugh.

[alchemi2]

You never know less you try! seem to rember that attitude when WOL went down but a biy of pressure i few request and hey presto.

If you don't know you can't fix it and if noone care that it's broken why bother. :-

How long has it been that emp has been unsupported ? Was there an upcry thing when it was announced ?

[gangsten]

i play emperor on XP ,  and got some friends who also use xp . . . . . . ..

[Inoculator9]

Nyar, you might be able to go through Gob to get the TS area here of Game Heaven officially crowned Emp support forum. But of course my knowledge of Gob's old contacts is sketchy, and who knows what happened to them :P

EA's CEO is possed by hitlers ghost :O!

[Iain McNeil]

I doubt that will happen as IG created Emperor for Westwood/EA and IG no longer exists. When they went into liquidation we managed to persaude the lead programmer to join Slitherine, but that's not much use to you guys :(

Your company likely to make an RTS like emperor then?  ;)

[Iain McNeil]

Maybe one day, but for now we're making empire building strategy games like Spartan - http://www.slitherine.co.uk/spartan/spartan.htm

[Necroticon]

Plug, plug, plug.  ;D

[Iain McNeil]

We can't afford a PR agency yet so its all down to us :)

Maybe if you buy our games, then we'll be rich and pay someone else to do the marketing ;)

[erjin999]

Well, it makes sense to plug em here. Targeted DIY Marketing. Except, it would not be easy to get me on a turn based strategy game, when I am so hooked on RTS games.

I would play another RTS even if it wasn't based on the Dune franchise (be better if it was !), so long as it played similar to Emperor...

[alchemi2]

Used to like turn based stratergy myself till played dune2 megadrive hehe and then emperor but keep up the good work and what the hay i'll give spartan ago who knows may change me back looks good but i'll have to buy ait and see. :)

[Necroticon]

Dont worry, im just having some harmless fun with you.
