[SURVEY] Would YOU invite more players to Totem Tribe II?

 To be honest, I am not sure at all that I would like to invite people to play this game. It is extremely time consuming - I feel I have to be on "24/7" in order to expand and not being "eaten" by neighbours and bored warriors. But it is also very addictive + one makes good friends on the way too and that is really nice. I would prefer it to be a better balance between warriors and more peaceful players. New players must get frustrated with sometimes little space for expansion plus all the time and or money it takes to upgrade everything. I know it has to be like that, but I hate all the waiting. I guess I prefer games with a clearer story line and a lot of puzzles to war games. I have been thinking of leaving this game many times - too time consuming - but I am still playing, having a nice time, chatting with my alliance, reading the chats etc. and wondering if I ever will find all the caves. Addictive - Oh yes. 
When it comes to the gifts for inviting players, they should be so good that it somehow pays off to have friends play too. I haven't played long enough to know what all those gifts listed can be used for.

Thanks for making this game - and for inviting me to play it. I enjoy it (even though my comments above could tell you otherwise) and am glad to get new friends across the world. This is the first time I play such a game, and I am learning a lot from my friends. Thanks again.

I very much like the pattern. So far, I've got only one minor tweak ,but I really want to see it implemented: My own first siege unit is often a Ballista, not a Ram or Catapult. I think that ought to count for a reward.

Or, I should have added, Greek Fire.

I don't think it is too crowded in the west of the continent where new accounts start up. The game is crowded only when veterans start actively in the beginning of each alpha stage. You have to keep in mind, that not all new players dig the game, a lot of them quit for various reasons (not always game related) making room for others.

I don't think crowding is that big of an issue right now, but the game can be competitive, there is no point in hiding that, that's part of it's charm.

That sounds like a cop out. I opened an account and landed in the west and was completely surrounded. Most of the comments are regarding the overcrowding. Please don't dismiss that with calling the game competitive. We all know it's competitive. The idea is to get new players and the best way to do that is to get them hooked before they realise how competitive the game can be. Break them in gently, realistically speaking

I'd like to be able to invite a friend to play whether I get rewards or not, but having rewards is a good incentive for players to choose the best candidates to invite. 

Also those people who say they don't know whom to invite, or don't have friends, etc. - propose the list of gifts which will motivate YOU to be more creative about it and invite someone despite the fact that there is noone. Don't be afraid to ask for more items,  just be specific :)

Add lots and lots of keys and herbicide to each gift.

I restarted my hero and landed in a new sector and on clearing the fog of war found myself to be surrounded by at least 6 other players all within a 13 by 15 square. That's 195 square map with 6 players in it, that's an average of 32.5 squares each to build in effect.

When you build your 2nd town and try and start a 3rd town it states that you need 15 Settlers or a further 44 squares in your original town. As you can see with the above, it's going to have to be 15 further settlers to go any further Town building wise.

One town is so close (only 3 x 2 in square lengths) that on day 3 we have both already lost out on squares to each other. At present, I have lost 6 squares as I am slightly more developed than him. He's lost out on 2 squares, however, his next expansion means that he misses even further squares and his culture is only at 60 at present.

Give me another couple of expansions and that squashes me up to 2 more other towns which means more squares lost.

I think one of the problems is allowing people more than 1 hero, that takes up space. I've seen people with up to 4 Hero's and there's possible more people with more than that. Limit people to 1 hero, that would free up space.

i think the hero level rewards are too small, as it gets really tough to level up after level 20+ for most players, i would say add extra items, like small packs at 30+. The rest i think fits in just fine. Could also add in keys for the eggs :)

Well I think you should start off by rewarding a blueprint for every new player someone brings in then proceed with your rewards progression the way it is. If you don't want to use blueprints then maybe a figurine would work too.

I would invite everyone I know to the game, because it is really fun and I would love for my real life friends to join in on the fun.

The rewards are nice, but the real "reward" is having friends that are playing too.

I do like the idea of keys as a reward. That would really motivate me to invite others.

I love the idea of being able to customize my hero.  Your offers are getting better :)

As someone mentioned, a level 50 hero takes a lot of time and effort.  Maybe a prize "bundle" would be more worthwhile, something like you get in a Pysanka.  

You know what would be really cool?  A special "critter" that you can add to your army that you can't get any other way or in the cash shop.  I recall some really neat critters defending some towns in prior alphas :))))

Just an idea.  I'm sure you haven't received enough of those yet :D

I enjoy the game, however, I find it very competitive and if you can't play 24/7 you will get behind. So no, I would not invite any of my friends. If there was a version like TTG then yes, I absolutely would recommend it. As of now, my family members are already upset with me for spending too much time on the game and not on the real life.

I would love hero customization items if they were available in the store.

Great idea---love it!

The monster idea is GREAT, but i think of the animals more like an achievement itself than an army troop. Maybe a late age zoologic to keep them safe and that provides small boosts to culture? i would hate earning a dragon and loosing it just because someone decides my town is in a bad place and attacks me. If you were to add them, i would add an option to exclude them from the attacking/defending troops,like the shelter, to make them just a "decoration" for your town

PD: This is a good moment to suggest a small quest about the real nature of the dendrogs. Are they plants? or animals? or none? Be creative and let us learn more about Teya, we dont know anything besides what Groomus tells us. Maybe a life researcher npc... or maybe it can be introduced in the main story somehow?

how do I send an invite? my sister in law is a train wreck and needs something to do, lol

she also likes these types of games

Yes, the motivation is getting really good :)
