Autoplaying animated shorts of mp4 for posts, bit like gifs but smaller and with better quality. (E.g. atm you can embed vine; but they have to be 480x480 which is a really odd size)

Example uses: Indiedb.com

And: Indiedb.com

As outlined in our principles: Illyriad.co.uk

Pay-To-Win
Yes, the dev team has bills to pay and mouths to feed but so, actually, do the players.

Games that allow "Pay-To-Win" are short-term and self-defeating for everyone.

For features like towers, castles etc you may want to look at Poisson Disk Sampling. Its like random but with a minimum closeness constraint - which preceptually seems more random and helps with clumping.

A good resource is: Devmag.org.za

The perlin noise + poisson shown on that map may also help with the terrain.

Yes, this is our 8 tournament. There are normally several months between them; as with 62,825,769 troops killed in our last tournament, the players need some time to rebuild.
