    what about a game of snakes, where you need to get the food to let the building grow, and the buildspeed per food you pickup multiplies, when you die the multiplier gets reset again.

    Wouldnt actually wanna see this lol

    I totally agree. Maybe the snake idea would be even better than tetris...as the snake grows so does the building. If you die, you just start the snake over but with 5%-10% less "progress" on the total building. To clarify:

    Total construction ------------------ Snake Length
    0 ..............................................................0
    10 ............................................................10

    oops...dead snake!

    9 ..............................................................0
    19.............................................................10

    Larger buildings would take more "apples" to complete :^)

    Any way you can add up points and subtract a small value for failure would work

    sorry MrBojangl3s didnt mean to steal your idea but if you look at the time of our posts mine was one minute after yours so I think I was writing mine when you posted yours. I guess I didnt see yours so I kept mine there other wise my post would have just agreed with yours.

    It's ok pickajoe, I'm glad that someone agrees with me! I personally think that their shouldn't be a game when you build, or if there is, it should not be related to building. I don't play empires to play 35 games of snake. If you want something to do, WATCHOUT FOR THE NADES!

    I think Build animations are the best way to go here...

    what about a selection of short pornos? surely with that coming up on the caculator everyone will be going engy ;)

    i like the idea of animations though, obviously it wont relieve the boredom but itll definately look good

    Yeah, but everyone likes different styles of porn... except its a (un)proven fact that only gay men do not like lesbian porn... Kinda ironic aint it...

    I have an idea for a minigame, Some of you may remember the source mod Hostile-Planet which was to be an mmo. If you did'nt know the password to lets say a crate or a door, you could hack it which was broken down into a nice minigame which was a pipes clone.

    Heres the old promo video:
    http://www.empiresuniverse.com/hp-movie1.avi
    You had to connect the numbers via pipes in numerical order.

    I think a pipes clone minigame of sorts to build stuff is great, pipes is easy, fun, and very simple

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

    Got your attention? good. The main reason for despair is not having the repair upgrade. Not getting the repair upgrade is stupid. Therefore despairing people are stupid. :D

    I still like the idea of having the players actually carry things around the building. :p
