Review of ZeldereX:
Tick-based game
Every 20 minutes you get more oil, money
Economic and military
Money buys stuff including military
Military is used to attack and gain money
Vast research options
Improve troops
Add offensive weapons, defensive weapons
Improve income
Lower cost of goods
Nice clan structure
Easy to recruit and spot teammates
Needs improvement in the helping others aspect (being part
of a clan doesn't seem to afford any protection or benefit)
Basic military and attack setup
Put your heroes in charge,
put them in a vehicle and hit players close to you in rank.
Building and upgrading
Certain buildings are very important and others are not.
Premium options
Buying cash (which I hate!)
Additional buildings and research options

Review of AsoBrain:
Games available:
Settlers of Catan (Xplorers)
SET! (Match!)
Barricade (Roadblock)
Carcassonne (Toulouse)
Java-based
Simple ranking system
Active forums with Tournament details
Uses ports 1981 - 1998, so firewalls may be an issue
Normal long Java load time

Online experience with AsoBrain:
Carcassonne, I mean, Toulouse
Played against two others
Easy to play and score
I didn't have any problem with setting it up or having fun

Settlers of Catan
A plethora of map setups
Allows for a lot of replayability
Easy to setup
AI is ok at trading
As good or better than the official Settlers of Catan by
Microsoft

Online experience with ZeldereX:
Easy to play
A lot of attacks
Only way to really get ahead seems to be to purchase
money
