The signups for Round 2 will begin on July 10th at 6pm GMT.

There are no major changes before this round, but we are always looking for new suggestions in the suggestions forum.


Last round didn't go quite as we had hoped, there was a much lower turnout then expected, but we wont let that bring us down!
Round 2 will hopefully see more of you inviting friends to play as well as maybe some old players returning, you never know, we are starting during the summer holidays after all!


We would also like to mention that we are working on a new design for DarkBattle (finally) which will be accessible from http://beta.darkbattle.net at any given time during game play. It should be noted that this version may have bugs and be inaccessible at times, so it is advised that if you wish to test the new one and give feedback, also use the regular game portal for now.

We hope that with a new sleeker more user friendly design, we will be able to attract more users and make the game seem more attractive to our old users as well.

Of course, new design means new documentation has to be written, so if anyone is looking to help out, now is the time, you can head over and check out http://manual.darkbattle.net and see how the current setup is, and get a general idea of what kind of information is looked for in a manual entry to help new as well as old players.


Now, more happy news, the site is scheduled to be completed for Round 3, so Round 2 will most likely not see a 100% complete version put live on the main game. It should be noted that we intend to create a toolbox for our users to use when planning out tactics or future planetary expansions. Expect some great new features in the future!
