Well, what can you do? It has a learning curve, and if the player isn't willing to put in the time for it, then they'll leave. The game is confusing and too fast for new people, and they all leave before they get the hang of it. I'm not the designer, so it's not really up to me nor do I really have an answer that doesn't change the gameplay itself.

When we had new people at playtests, we'd give them a short example of how the game went, and then they'd play for real. They either stuck with it or never came back.

This is probably a good lesson that people prefer slower paced games. This should be evident to everyone who saw multiplayer gaming go from the fast paced style of Quake games in the late 90s to the slower paced FPS games that were ushered in with Counterstrike.

Nah, I'm not whining about the pace but my inability to move quickly in the game for first few hours.

Mootant. You should try Fistful of Frags then.

It has slower phase than Empires.
