Well, we've had the black/grey/white background for awhile...how about something a little more interesting? I was thinking something like a tank backround image for the armies page, and a vault for the bank page. They'd need a lot more transparency to make sure you could see it, but I'm nothing at Photoshop, so I'd leave that to someone else.
And for the main page, you could use araT's picture of the earth with a mushroom cloud, slightly larger, of course.

I dunno. I know you're all stressing about new features and the stock market, but I was inspired. :o

No pictures in the back. It's only fun for a short while, but really slows down on the gameplay and hits the server hard.

Well, there goes my ideas. Is there anything we can do? It's pretty blah right now.
Not to underestimate my appreciation for what you're doing, Luke. It could just use a little make-up.

Queer eye for the straight GEwar? ;)

I think a new interface would be a great idea, but there are probably other things that should be worked out first.

Personally I think the game would be cooler if there were visuals for actions (like attacking or nuking). Most online browser games like this have that kind of thing.

Yeah, the attacking is just reading some numbers and dreading the infamous message in bold at the bottom telling you of your defeat or victory, maybe if it was even a little interactive to go along with a display, or just one of the two, or neither, whatever could work.

But back on topic. Wouldn't color work for the display, maybe blue like the forums. I don't think that would be too hard for the servers but I'm no expert.
