Consumers (Enterprise included) now want to pay x amount per month, instead of expensive license fees up front, even if the monthly cost ends up more than the up front cost.

Frogboy, thank you very much for posting this, this great insight into the inner workings of a game dev studio. To put things in perspective, I am a Product Development Manager for a solutions company, and I mostly deal with enterprise software. When we got going, we weren't doing software, but I started coding some 'mocks' which took hold in the market.

That way you can see that a city is missing an available essence at a glance.

-Agree on the way that army strength is calculated. I've had armies listed as 'Strong' that could easily defeat Epic. I think what needs to happen is the following: If you have a Mage in your army, the calculation needs to factor in spells, available mana, etc; Healing can easily increase the strength of your army by large amounts in the early game; There needs to be an improved algorithm to help the AI determine army strength when attacking, suc
