Kaol, welcome, and Dragonlance rocks!  What's the basis for your series?

Well I guess here goes.

My name is Sanjay, and I live outside of Houston, Texas, home of Super Bowl 38.  I am Indian (Asian), but was born in NY.  I am a student at the Art Institute of Houston, studying Culinary Arts.  I hope to one day become a renowned chef.  I'm 26 years old, and my hobbies include music (all sorts, but mainly rap), movies (Bruce Willis rocks), and fishkeeping.  Oh, and of course, cooking.  I don't know what else to say, so I'll stop saying it.

It is, smi, but people are going higher than that on the low off-chance that the KoC admins will see fit to raise that bar a bit...  If the age was going to last a lot longer I could see this happening, but if they're already talking about Age 3 I doubt they'd be making any more major changes to the current system.  It'll be over before they raise the cap, I'm betting.

That's the theory I'm going with.  Just because an army may be better equipped doesn't mean the tide can't change in some way; this is their attempt at throwing variables/unknowns in.

So this outage I am experiencing right now is possibly the new server going in?

I guess that means no KoC for a couple days?

Wait I've got one question that I'm not understanding about the upgrades.  Does it calculate it (the 25%) by any fixed variable or is it based on current status?  What I guess I"m asking is would it behoove me to get my SA past a certain point and then say I want 25% added to that, or is it 25% of something I had at some point and the timing of my purchase isn't taken into consideration?

Hehe, hope I didn't make that confusing, my mind is a whirlwind sometimes.

I'm ranked in the 6k range now, Woot!

As soon as I get enough for level 8, then I'll be back down to 30k again.

Oh well, that's how the game goes now i guess.

Wasn't unit production maxed to like 22 a day or something in Age 1?  10 really does suck, makes it so you have to rely on clicks to grow substantially.  When I had 22 units a day coming in it was enough for me to not have to beg everyone I saw online to click my link.  Here lately that's just what I've been doing... "Hey do you have a couple minutes?  Can you do this extremely mundane task of click, wait for the server, keep waiting, yeah the server's have been down lately, what do you mean don't IM you anymore?  I thought we were friends?!?"  Needless to say, I wasn't getting alot of clicks...

*shakes fist silently at server outages of the past week*

That's a relief.  I have one officer, non-orc, but he's got several officers, and I was worried that their race would affect my membership into TGA.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm glad it's finally up.  Now I can go on with my daily existance.

Well now that I can actually log into the game, I've gone from say the 30,000 range ranking all the way up to the 11,000 range rank.  Finally I can improve my army and progress back to the top where I belong!  Look out orcs, here I come!

Sorry about the power trip, I'm just excited that the game is running.

I guess I got involved with the game about 4-5 months ago, so I was in Age 1, correct?  I don't even know anything about Age 0, if you're being serious.  Sorry, guess I'm a newb.

Well it sounds from a previous post that this was the way it was at the onset of Age 1.  If Age 1 ended up so great, then I'm willing to bear with Age 2 while they work out the kinks.  What's the story behind the outages in Age 1?  Might as well entertain us with stories while we wait for it to come up.    

If I could log in maybe I could find out how I'm doing in the game...
