Yeah, I agree. I'm 150th on the birth queue now and seriously does that mean I have to wait for 150 women to get pregnant? Seriously? I think the problem with this game is that the long wait means most players would quit even before they were born.
If you guys really want a game that is very similar to Battlemaster, just more complex, check out my topic about Star Wars Combine. When you start out, remember to join a faction (preferably Tresario Star Kingdom) and you will accumulate millions in no time. See you there!
Played it, rubbish game in my opinion. Waited years for combat to actually be implemented, and when it was it was a giant disappointment. Production/Item creation allows for nothing interesting or exciting either.
