View Profile K let's get a poll started on whether or not we think this should be free, be included or be insanely expensive via empire coins so that no one will want to purchase it.
Because this is obviously not a biased survey.
Also there should be an ability for fire types to burst into fire and go into suicide rage mode.

View Profile Before people start going on about a 4th empire, I really think we will keep 3, like SC and other mentioned RTS style game, this is the best and what was intended for this game.

View Profile Yes, I think so too. Having 4 makes things a little too complicated.

View Profile Possibly.
The Elemental race will most LIKELY be included in the monthly payment of 3.99 which would give the player membership.
I agree,
For 1 reason; if it is free I think around 80% of non members will ditch order and play elemental/lore empire
The remaining will either quit or play elmentals.
Then order will almost never be played making it like 2 empires again

Depends on how strong elemental is (say, if elemental was like chaos and you need lots of micro to be good at it, some players would be elemental, and the no micro players would play order).

View Profile Soo.....
I wonder how much crazyjay is going to make off of this new empire. Estimates, anyone?
$2000, each month?

View Profile 0$ every month to 30$ a month,
Reasoning: Tec says the empire will most likely be added to the current membership. People who can afford it, buy it. People who can't, don't. There are some people who can afford it, but haven't, but now there is two empires in the deal, so they might start buying it.
Btw this doesn't count the people who currently buy it, right? Because technically he isn't making money due to the third empire, but instead to the current deal.

View Profile Well, during Alpha, Chaos started off as 4 dollars. Also, if they'd wanted to make money they're just have advertisements from other companies before the game loads. They'd make a killer off of ads. Then, we wouldn't have to pay for these Empires. Personally, I think that you will have to pay separately for each empire so people would still play.
And I really think that it should be free though :)

View Profile I still think that using empire coins to buy this empire would be highly profitable.

I was about to say, I allready know alot of people are cheating to get 75 free eCoins per account. I don't use the facebook version because the ads slow down the game.
IMPORTANT ERROR TO PATCH:
There is a way just to quit/block and join again so you can give someone infinite eCoins

View Profile Actually, I never upgrade anything as it is a waste of time. They don't actually help your units in any way.
