Could I suggest that you have a subforum "empire of the eclipse / notifications", and even just use a single thread inside that subforum so I can have it on my subscribed list : ) That could be the goto place for anything official happening in the game

And I'll just mention again, this Idevice forum app won't let me post a new thread in the empire-of-the-eclipse forum, only in general-chat. It either won't let me click the button, or gives me a popup saying "forum is closed"

On a positive note, I'm liking the game more and more. Seems to be a nice balance of small things happening instantly, and big things taking time, requiring planning a strategy. Kudos!
