imagine an iphone app for stone walling alerts!
what other game out there is like that?
wall/news feed updates of when you get grabbed and make kills
much more fun than 'susie q planted corn and bought a pig' (farmville?) at least in my opinion...
add in news feeds of end of set milestones, that if you have a facebook it can display on there as a gift or something.
allow people to send recruiting requests in facebook, "join my awesome clan in this awesome game!" like those 'click to find out if you're a a vampire' dumbass fluff thats on there
the more news you get going to facebook feeds... free advertising right?
hell, hook the fluff up to a twitter account too, so that country update milestones get tweeted out "bobby now has the fattest country on the team server!"
i could totally see that garnerning more interest in the game from the new generation of net users without detracting at all from the actual gameplay experience, and it would be free advertising for the game.
people these days seem to love constant updates of everything thats going on
add in a graphical image of your ruler, so that when people search your kingdom they see your custom little dude you made. let people design the body and clothes and crap ? it could store to main account so it stays set after set... or have different ones for different servers.
random little graphics for attacks could be cool based on the results. add an image of a cheesy looking cartoon marketplace on the public market screen. cheesy looking cartoon fluff graphics seems to do well on a lot of those popular games out these days (evony,farmville etc)
hell you can advertise the game as an evony like game you can actually win. evony never ends... i tried it for a few weeks til i realized i wasted that part of my life... you build up an empire and once its as big as it can get, you just kinda sit there. and then go make another in a new server. so make a little graphic that expands and grows based on the types of buildings you make, your military counts and land counts, with a little missile silo showing your stockpile...
some ideas...
