Why I believe Politics and War is a successful game
Having been a part of several other simulators, I will say PnW is by far the best by in game content.
I love the fact that there are alliance banks. The economics are so much different and you can control so much more with the markets. The manufactured resources and regional resources add something more than other game's selective resources. It is by far something which really keeps people interested early on.
Something else is the Improvement Gameplay. I have to say the idea to link power with cities is something which makes improvements so much better than other game's versions of improvements. Production options, Commerce, disease, etc: make cities much more important and also add to the gameplay.
Also, an active admin makes it so much better
The politics of this game are in my opinion much different, and because of that it makes guessing political situations much more interesting. Paperless treaties, raiders, merc alliances, etc: more interesting things I dont find as much in other games.
I have had a few other people in other games tell me they dont want to do PnW again cause they tried it in Beta and didn't like it. I have asked why and they dont have a clear answer. Seeing the game from this view is something I have tried to use to get more people to try it out. BK people did, and now we love the game more than others.
(I wanted to write an easy first blog to get my blog rolling So probably not very much interesting stuff in this one).
I will ask though, in the comments, are there any other things about this game that you think make it successful?
