Mars 2025: The Warbook Competitor
Posted by Nick O'Neill on October 17th, 2007 12:09 PM
This morning while browsing through the Facebook application directory, I stumbled upon a pretty interesting application called “Mars 2025.” The application is a sort of role playing game similar to the immensely popular Warbook application. When you launch the application it provides you with a thorough tutorial about how to play the game. The main purpose of the game is to create your own country on Mars.
Dmitry M. Kentsis and Andrew V. Zakharov who developed the game, focused heavily of building a solid user interface. There is a pretty cool roll-over navigation menu that enables you to browse among the main sections of the game. You can do everything from choosing your country’s government type to managing the bank, military, foreign relations, research and more. It reminds me somewhat of the PC game, Civilization. Additionally, you can form alliances, declare war and try to build your own empire.
The developers put a lot of thought into this application and I think there is a serious chance of them taking a segment of the Warbook’s user base. If you are into role playing games, then go grab the Mars 2025 application.

And second, about errors - it was an facebook API issue (regarding authorization), now it should work fine.
What can be spoken about similarity - yep, we are similar but far not exact. I will post here some links for those who wanna get more info about it:

Warbook made no sense, the rules/mechanics change and screw up all the damn time. One minute you can't do something, but someone else can. Nonsense.
Mars 2025 rocks.
