If you do get wiped out of the game, you are able to restart your empire in another area of the
map. We’ve had a player in our preview group go on to finish in 5th place after restarting
three weeks into the game. It’s not quite a complete restart however – all your centrally
banked resources are kept in the 8th House, allowing you to cash in your banked resources for
more advanced vehicles and intelligence information.
Some of our players connect over ADSL or Cable Modem and because of this
remain connected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the game is over. They keep ToD running in
a window in the background, returning back to the game every once in a while to check on
progress, construct new vehicles and buildings and to guard their empire against
invaders.
Many of the greatest co-ordinated attacks that we have seen so far have been
planned to coincide with the target’s weekend away. There are three key things to note, which
may help you when you’re offline.
