I'll pass -- despite what they claim on the indiegogo page, this IS going to be a "pay-to-win" game in the sense that in order to compete at higher levels you have to buy a larger 'data plan'... one can argue semantics, but that's all they are, semantics.
- artchiv 12y agoEven if Screeps had one fixed plan, it would still be possible for anyone to launch "ally" programs on behalf of several users and thus get the same total CPU increase. However, keep in mind, that Screeps is not about having many creeps but about controlling them properly. More CPU, more rooms, and more creeps often don't offer any advantage over another player if you can't manage all this.
- ultimape 12y ago"in order to compete at higher levels" implies that the we are talking about the players who can manage all of it. And if people can just 'ally' like you suggest, then isn't that the same as paying to win? Its not like this is EVE online where corps paying for newbies to play with them is fun and part of the gameplay appeal.
