When you consider some of the things that have a Wikipedia page, I don't get why WarLight doesn't have one. Anyone want to work together to write one?

to write a wikipedia page you need a few decent sources to prove notability. don't know if that is currently possible.

A game website talked about WL somewhere I forget the link.

were on Forbes list of 20 to watch too

Can't find the link have you got it?

Wow thanks.

it is would be easy to do but for someone to actually do it would be another thing.

Also, Fizzer would have to do some of the more in-depth writing meaning more work for him but at the cost of more publicity

@ Arun you wouldn't be able to use the toucharcade link as its downloadables not info if I remember correctly

You're right, but it has a review you can slip a tiny quote into ;) This is what it says (not too bad actually):

WarLight is a customizable Risk-like strategy game where you compete with your friends to conquer the world. WarLight features: - Asynchronous games: WarLight games can be played at your own pace. Your friends don't need to be all be online at the same time. Take your turns when it's convenient and WarLight will wait for you. - No microtransactions: WarLight won't let you buy your...
way to a victory like other free-to-play games. You win or lose WarLight games based on your strategy, not your wallet. - Faster games: All players can take their turn at the same time, which allows WarLight games to move along significantly faster than other Risk-like games. - Customizable: WarLight has a very flexible engine. When creating games, you have hundreds of settings you can tweak to create anything from a minor variant to a whole new experience. - Maps: WarLight has hundreds of hand-made maps to choose from, with more being added all the time. Or you can design your own! - Strategic battles and tournaments: WarLight has a finely-tuned 1v1 and 2v2 experience, which makes for great competitive play. - Cards: WarLight has a variety of cards with varying effects, like the Diplomacy Card, Spy Card, Airlift Card, Abandon Card, and more! - Luck is controllable: The luck modifier allows you to control how much luck affects your game. - Tournaments: Create your own tournaments and compete! - Ladders: WarLight has three ladders, which are competitive arenas where everyone competes for the top spot.

if you go to the about page on here it says the exact same thing


on a side note... anyone want to take credit for this?

I thought it looked familiar because I've been on TouchArcade regularly in the past :(

Not me, I swear!

So basically I have the wikipedia template written out just need the content to fill it... if someone wants to write stuff here about WarLight stuff (History, Gameplay, Tournaments, Ladders, Settings, Forum, etc.) I'll check back later, add it in and then start working on the verification process

http://habrahabr.ru/qa/826
"В крайние месяцы периодически захожу на Warlight. Это — онлайн развитие, причем очень удачное, классической Risk.
Т.е игра очень «логическая», но при этом серьезное значение имеет понимание психологии других игроков.
Но это ни разу не MMO, что мне лично больше по душе, потому как не требует обязательной ежедневной траты времени.
Русскоязычных игроков мало, много поляков. Основной язык — английский."

http://www.wykop.pl/ludzie/SuperZelazko/
"Internetowa gra strategiczno-turowa, twoim celem jest przejęcie pól przeciwnika dzięki bonusom. Walki toczą się na mapach Europy, Azji, Polski itp. Żeby móc grać multiplayer trzeba się zarejestrować."

This is why our game is so international, these two websites attracted the 4th and 5th most players to Warlight out of all websites.
Reddit attracting the most and Forbes the 3rd most.

If you still need some international sources.

Edit: Master Ree translates the first one, the second one is as follows:
"Online multiplayer turn-based strategic, your goal is to conquer the enemy fields through bonuses. Battles taking place on the maps of Europe, Asia, Polish, etc. To be able to play multiplayer you need to register."

Wow, I never knew about this, that's cool. I just checked analytics and only about 1000 people clicked that link, so I don't think the article was that popular.

They talk about it as a "cloud app" -- but this article pre-dates the iOS and Android apps, so I guess they're just counting websites as an app.

I wish. I can barely afford my rent.

When you consider some of the things that have a Wikipedia page, I don't get why WarLight doesn't have one.

Wikipedia has pretty strict notability requirements. A few years ago I remember WarLight was rejected, but I hope that changes one day. Feel free to try!

If we knew how many players there were it would be useful to compare it to other games that do have a page :) Pretty please?
