Ok, so I just found this game that's pretty neat. Thought you guys might be interested if you are bored. It's called Oil Empires. Basically you get a spot of the desert and you build oil derricks and tanks and refineries and sell oil. It's pretty quick to pick up once you figure out how everything gets linked up. I've been playing it the last few days and it seems fun. One thing though, the server is going to reset in I think a week maybe, so now would be a good time to learn the ropes and then start for real when the server starts fresh and you are on level footing with everyone.

So... without further ado here's the link:
http://oec.itch.com

Choose casual play server and if you want to be on the same server as me, choose South East Region.

Here's a picture of my empire:

What exactly is the point of it? Do you steal other players oil, or buy them out or something? There has to be some end goal somewhere...

Yeah, you can steal money and oil and whatnot and kill each others base with nukes and armys and whatnot.

It's like a text based war game, but in flash, and based around oil.

Do you get to pretend that your derricks are under-producing so you can hike up the prices right before the 4th of July too?

Just kidding Razz

Is this one of those games that you have to play continuously or you'll lose? I might check it out if I don't have to spend much time on it.

The time commitment is very small. You just check in a couple times a day. Sell, upgrade, make changes, attack if you want to. My empires getting pretty big. Most of my map is filled, I'm gonna have to start clearing trees.

I'm getting bombared by an entire cartel who are all attacking me. I'm holding out still but I need backup. I'm trying to get into a cartel that will help defend me.

What happened was some guy attacked me out of the blue, destroyed my airfield, killed all my troops and stole like 500bbl of jet fuel. Not all that bad. So I Ebola'd him back. Killed all HIS troops which was like 10 times what mine were. And I stole 1500bbl of Jet Fuel. Now he has his entire cartel attacking me but I couldn't just let him get away with something like that. It sends a bad image. Word to the wise everyone, build bioweapons. You do lose business output for a day but a single 10,000,000$ WMD can kill 1000+ units at a time.

I was thinking, perhaps create a renforums cartel?

I can't see you on the cartel listings, have you set your cartel to open for recruiting? My ingame name is "reborn" if you want to send me a request =]

No it's more like US versus US. Basically you are a contracted manager of a plot of land and the US will sell you weapons to defend that land. You fight other managers to try to take their oil and land.
