Why not have a review or something done by someone popular on youtube?
Sing O! Muse, the incompetence of shihab, that brought countless ills upon his teammates. Many a brave bomb run, it sent hurrying to pods; many a con did it leave prey to enemy int whores, for so were the councils of his commanders ignored, that the moment he entered in his ship, he flew circles...

Website clicks mean very little. Paid ads will get clicks.. What matters is actual results, at least how many downloaded the game at a minimum. I realize there was probably nothing tracking these prior to the server switch though.

That's correct, if you look at the piwik analytics with a filter on refers facebook.com, it looks even more devastating...

Would be nice if Dome would have used this to track users from that campaign:

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

I give so much respect and gratitude to Ashortdude. He's really done a great job making and remaking these banners. Not to mention the banners and posters he's made for Allegiance for many months.

I've only used the blue banner so far, but will focus on using the yellow one in Facebook ads this weekend.

Please don't hesitate to use these banners on your own personal sites!
i like the TF one the most btw

I feel very similar. Although I haven't put any cash towards any of this.

The key mapping needs to be fixed. Has been for 10+ years. The chances of Jonny newcomer wanting to stick around more than 10 minutes. Screwing around with the keys. Is very small, at least imo.


If someone knows how to do what is needed (providing its not too complicated). I would be willing to learn to get it done.


It is a small issue causing a big problem. Can we get a default keymap that everyone will agree on? Not a chance in hell with the people I have played with. I do believe we can get a "Better" default keymap that will be much less of a problem for newcomers.
