In order to capture and retain those people, the site has to have more eye candy. It's absolutely critical that it holds the attention of new users long enough for them to actually take a turn.

The simplicity and the lack of eye-candy is what made me try CC and made me stay. The internet is full ...

Horrible. Have no idea which game is which. Maps are difficult to distinguish and when you do, I don't know which one it is if I have several games on the same map.

After 10 seconds of looking I still don't know if something has happened that requires me to open one or more games and check. Even I ...

First of all, thanks to DoomYoshi and everyone running the passport contest, it's been awesome!
I've really enjoyed it, it's really got me reinvigorated!
So this got me thinking that I would gift a membership to my friend (the one who got me started playing). He hasn't played in almost a year. I ...

Yes, it is very annoying to have to keep logging in time and and time again. I fail to see how this is improvement, but I guess it is. It's just me ... not understanding (again).

It may have been slow before, but at least I didn't have to re-log in every few minutes. Couldn't even get troops deployed without getting kicked out in one game. Hmm, I think it was actually the only game I've taken turn in so far after latest "improvement". But as the headline proclaims, improvent ...

However, I really do not see the logical need for the UI changes that have been made? I thought this site was designed for adults & young adults to enjoy a good ol' game of risk? To me it now seems that the target market has changed to 4 year old illiterates. Dear god this site has gone seriously ...

Lokisgal hit the nail "Why change something thats not broken". It's not the first time. Seems to be new CC policy. "Change is good". No matter how much worse it actually gets. Yes, people get used to things, but not everybody has the time nor the interest to keep relearning everything time and time ...

MrPinky , no offence taken. I should perhaps clarify a few points:

1) I do net pretend to speak for all "non-enthusiasts". I stumbled on the discussion and just tried to present a point-of-view that is missing from it: a (one) voice of a player that is not so deeply immersed in the discussion and ...

I appreciate the effort to make the site and the games better. I do have some concerns about how the site is changing, though.

I enjoy playing the game but have never been a hard-core expert in all the many varieties of Conquerclub games. I seldom read forum pages and when I do read I don't ...

I thought CC had been hijacked, when I saw the front page.

Sorry to say but it is just awful. It's difficult to believe there is a good strategy game hiding behind it. There was nothing wrong with the old one. Rather bring that back than this.

Swedish chef is great -in Muppets. Here it creates confusion, especially for beginners. Of course if the game is to be an insider joke and not open for all... Looks more like Dutch than Swedish btw, but maybe that's the idea, I don't know. Anyway, get rid of it.
