Talk:Artillery game

message: A game which could be listed on this page if anyone here knows it is a space based artillery game. I forget the name unfortunately, but if someone has played it they know the one i mean, your ships sit on planetoids and launch all sorts of ordinance at eachother, which is affected by the gravity feilds of the surrounding planetoids. Free game with online play, one of the best artillery games i ever played, i came here in the hopes of finding a refference to it as i have forgotten the name, or where to find it.
Yea, I know the one you mean. I actually came here looking for that exact game. I'm sure it's called something like Terra <something>, but I'm probably wrong. Anyway, I'm going to continue my hunt and when I find it, I'll add it here. :)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Scorched earth.png

message: I found somewhere between 10 and 20 references that called individual artillery games a "strategy game" (e.g.: X = strategy game, Y = strategy game, Z = strategy game). However, there are few/no references that explicitly refer to all artillery games at once and say "artillery games are a form of strategy game". As such, someone removed my references because they felt I was violating WP:SYN. Similarly, there were 3 or 4 references that referred to specific artillery games, calling each one a shooter (specifically "trajectory shooter" or "ballistics shooter"). I removed these specific references, in an effort to be consistent about the WP:SYN policy. I personally would prefer we include all the references, because I think it's better to violate WP:SYN than it is to violate WP:VERIFY. I think it's better to have references that refer to individual artillery games than no references about artillery games at all. But if we have to be strict about WP:SYN, then I would ask that we treat all references consistently. Randomran (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Worms1 screenshot.jpg

message: I've been doing some research online and am unable to find any concurrent evidence that MicroForum had anything to do with publishing Tank Wars. Wasn't this title released purely as a shareware game by Kenny Morse?

thread_title:  Unverifiable information for certain games 

message: This is a tough article to verify, because it's such a niche genre in terms of audience, and was largely founded by independent game developers. But I've tried to track down some references for further use.

Haven't had a chance to go through all of them, but I'll find time to pull out some verifiable information at some point in the future. Randomran (talk) 20:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  references 

message: Artillery game is not a strategy game, but a tactical game. Strategy would involve large-scale decisions and planning long-term goals, while tactics are more focused on limited small-scale actions and effective utilization of limited resources (in case of artillery game, these would be the weapons and the tanks). Win the war, it's strategy. Win the battle, it's tactics. Kotiwalo (talk) 09:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: [Posted after many, many months.] I still maintain that it's a glorified, turn-based shooter. No strategy or tactics involved. SharkD  Talk  03:43, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strategy -> Tactics 

message: BB artillery games follow the "worms" fashion, in that you control creatures, not tanks (and hence, don't need "fuel").
Arcanists and "Wild Ones" (for MySpace) are there. (notability of Wild Ones is questionable) Yura87 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 23:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
