I dont regret the money I did spend on it at all. People will bash it because it's a microsoft studio game and they're "Money grabbing" (You know, that's what people do when they make a game FREE, they grab your money aparently.) But I think its great, heck, it's free so you've nothing to lose.

I was enjoying this when I was playing it, but got distracted by other things. Have they put an Auction house in yet? Needing to use trade chat was almost a game-ruiner for me. I could be convinced to play some more if there's some decent trading options though.

Also, Empire Points are available for GFWL now. Pretty steep price though, I'll pass and earn them in-game. Of course I've put a good 25 hours into the game and only won 30-40 empire points, and it costs 900 for a civilization. Hoping it gets easier as I level up

Is there any way to boost empire points?

There is no way to boost EP. When you hit lvl 40, you can join in on the Alliance Wars. As long as you complete quests that earn you Alliance Points, you'll earn EP. I've gained about 1,200 so far.

Also, having to chat to sell items being a game ruiner is sad. It takes all of 5 seconds.

You can always delete an empire and re-start... points are attached to your gamertag not any civ.

A note though: I'm at 407 hours played, granted a good 100 of that is probably idle time but it's an epicly long game.
Life, it's funny that way.

I haven't looked into this too much. Is there much pvp or cheevos tied to pvp? I'm much more of a pve type and hate games that are heavily pvp...

Is Alliance Wars solely PvP stuff? Since I'm not a huge fan of that.

I guess I should give it another chance since it is free now. I played it back in the beta days and thought it sucked, maybe its been updated enough for me to enjoy.

my favorite rts game is Age of Mythology

I would love to see more RTS games on the 360.
Well technically Civ Rev wasn't RTS since it wasn't real-time it was turned based, but still. I want more

You do quests and earn Alliance Points. At the end of 24 hours, 7 days and 30 day periods, you get Empire Points.

Not sure if PvP matches earn you AP since I really don't care for PvP. I know you can earn AP from Crete and Legendary Quests for your Alliance along with Skirmish Hall.
