I was invited to WarLight by a friend and together we brought in 11 other friends.... Unfortunately, there are only 5 of that group of 13 that still play..

I love that there is a clan for the staff :p

There should be a reward of sorts for inviting players to warlight... assuming they stay active for at least a year. I know there is an achievement for "A player you invited grew to lvl..." and there would be ways to abuse it for a prize. But some small 'token' or 'commission' for bringing in another member would be appreciated.

I only found WarLight because of Kong. I told some of my friends and only 1 is occasionally active.
Someone might need to improve the wiki (warlight.net/wiki/) e.g. minor edits such as wording, spelling and grammar.

I invited a friend.. didn't work well..

I invited my brother and two others, the other two are inactive but my brother still plays actively

What I've done so far:

• All the double redirects from the wiki are gone! (12 Jan 2015)

zxctycxz got me into warlight. We got about 10 friends on, but they gradually stopped after a couple of weeks. I tried to get my cousin on but he might be too young to understand it well.

DanWL, The wiki could do with some styling to suit the warlight.net website.

Maybe one of the staff could put the wiki on warlight.net as another main tab and remove help, as all help really says is 'go to the wiki' :P There should also be a link/tab to/for the blog somewhere.

It would be great if we had some strategic guides on a specific tab. We have a few posts in the forums and a Google Document out there, but no official place to put them.

someone should share that google doc with me, mail me whoever you are

I didn't know there was a warlight strategy google doc, sounds great!

Kasp and I have been discussing whether there would be a way to make that into a collaborative, evolving document. The work that Mannerheim (Odin) put into the original document cannot be understated, but I'm sure we can work on something with broader scope with enough input. We will make a post and invite people to take part soon I'm sure.

Mercer, with regard to software solutions to improve activity for WarLight, I think a "global" chat system integrated into the multiplayer and possibly community tabs of the website as well as on the app would add another dimension to clan rivalry, collaborative map and scenario development, and ladder discussion, and just general chit chat which should increase retention of new players. I remember thinking that the community was like a ghost town when I first signed up. I know that there is an IRC, and I visited it once but it was woefully under-attended, the key is that you have no choice but to be in the chat room(s) when you load up the website.

My brother found out about this game on a site calle 'onemorelevel.com'. The site only had single player (It's still there if you wanna see it) he told me about it and we played occasional games until we found out about the actual site where he soon left. Afterwards my sister and my brother again strted playing and we had many fun 3-way games but my sister got bored which lead to my bro getting bored.

Now it's just me and they still don't play even after seeing many updates

I totally agree with this. A chat bar on the side of the page would be an amazing addition!

Yes, that's the one! Studying that document is a very good idea for any aspiring Warlighter.

I have known warlight for years, and my activity is in bursts of a couple of months, followed by a few more months of no activity. This recent burst I did a series of real time imperium romanum games so im sort of an expert on that map and that template now. I could study the guide, but I don't know if this sort of seasonal activity change would work for me to be a good warlighter.

I think a key step to advance in this outreach is the Warlight app

some players only play on the app on a phone or tablet but others (like me) only download when i'm on the move (and too paranoid of getting booted) I unistall the app after i use it because it takes up a lot of memory (downloading maps etc).

I think if some bugs were sorted out and everything looked a bit more neat (like the website) and simple then we might have another audience of players.

In order to compete at the top level, you need to play every day, and you need to work to improve your skill every day.

I think the clan system needs improving...

@ TeeMee123 I can't permanently change the style of the wiki page. I'm not an admin. I'll just improve the content.
