People will be able to attack others' territories, correct? And take them or something, I don't know. Include the maximum of content that allows interaction, joining clans, selling things on a market, stuff like that. Sounds reasonable. People will be able to attack others’ territories, correct?

Some people can't work at all when listening to music, they think it's too distracting. Really good tracks there, especially justice. The track Genesis is my favorite justice song. I type faster when listening to music with a high tempo. I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm trying to type to the beat. I usually listen to deathmetal, so you can imagine how fast I type ;) hehe. Thanks for posting, looking forward to seeing some progress on your game.

RJD2, Battles, and Justice are all integral members of my coding music. I also tend toward Air, Flying Lotus, and lately, The Ruby Suns and Calvin Harris. A lot of jazz and classical too. That Royksopp track is awesome. I have a bunch of their stuff, but haven't really listened to it. I'll definitely have to check them out now. Thanks for posting! Good picks.

Technically you first have to click the 'friend', and then click attack in order to attack the friend. Thus giving the player more time realize what he/she is doing. However I do agree with you that they should be some sort of determining factor. Maybe with an alley in your party, you can shoot them up to 3 times before they turn against you, but everything else would only take one hit. What are your thoughts on that?

What ought to be taken into account is the strength of the attack as well as quantity. If I shoot a strong ally with 110 hp and do only 1 point of damage it shouldn't bother them as much as if I shot a person with 11 hp and cause 10 hp of damage. Of course, if I continue to shoot the big man <b>then</b> he'd have reason to attack me. And they don't necessarily have to be your enemy the entire time, just until they get over themself (if they get over it).
