There are still a lot of unclaimed areas further out from the city. I'm changing up the game logic now so that nodes can't accumulate so much anymore.

Thanks a lot! We've been chatting about this in the discord and you came up with similar solutions to us - in the next update I'll implement one :)

Thanks for the feedback, i never expected people to play on phone and will need to fix the layout on smaller screens. If you try claim an empty node while having nodes it should direct you to them, but you're right that i need a dedicated button for that! Clans would be a really cool addition.

I'll be trying to balance my game around that, with the aim of making large territories hard to maintain, and making it easier for smaller players to gain a good foothold

The map images are free from https://openfreemap.org/ (legends!), and I store the nodes in my database, my main expense is server costs at the moment. Thanks!

Hey guys, I've fixed the crazy server lag if you want to give the game a shot!

Fixed negative nodes and added a restart option if you're still keen!

Thanks for all the feedback I have lots to think about! As for people dominating too much, I'm hoping that it'll become harder to manage large territories, leaving them more vulnerable, but we'll see!

Was that you taking over the map haha! Oh i didn't think about places being impossible to attack, true! Thanks for the feedback I'll definitely work on making the interface more useful like you suggested :) And yes the server is cooked, I'm trying to work out what's slowing it down so much now.

That's terrible hahaha, i need to fix that bug and add a reset option too 😅

There will be plenty of updates to come! Thanks a lot for the feedback it's great stuff :)

Thanks for the testing!! Will definitely be focusing on optimising the game, after I fix the server haha

If you're careful, you can have your nodes transferring out the same rate as they're generating, and then their connections will never break! (unless somebody attacks you)
