hi everyone

i've exiting news. but first some background information.

i can still remember that some members of this community me included have tried the browser game desert-operations.
at that time it wasn't playable at all. at least for a blind user. the buildings you can construct hadn't any labling so it was a lot of clicking and hoping you open the correct buildingtab. last year in april me and a friend looked it over again, and at that time weren't any improvements made. so i opned a topic on the forum and wrote a ingame message to a admin. i haven't got any reply and i went offline for other business.

now ... at least one year later i logged in again and i was really surprised. in positive. now my screenreader can read wich buildings i have in my base, and when a building needs constructing still i can read it, something like ... build a simulator ... i don't know in english because i am playing on the dutch server. but i asume this mentenance has gone through all servers.

goal of the game:

you'll start with a set of several thousands of dollars and no building. you've to build a command centre. and while you're building that a general takes your hand and guides you through the basic steps of building your base. it takes a lot of time before a building is completed or several buildings are completed. it will take much less time to build a house instead of 90 houses.

the goal of the game is to develop a good strategy were you can climb the ranklist with. you can attack other bases, or you can build a huge army to surprise a attacking army.
it is up to you. but in the netherlands we say the attack is the greatest defence.

you can see the best for yourself.
and if the buildings aren't labled we all can make a topic on the forum of our own country and shout out for maintenance.

i am not sure if it was my shout wich made the buildings labled. but it could be.

i am using jaws 13 and one of the latest releases of internet explorer.

of nvda, hal, window eyes, system acces i don't knjjow anything but i think it works the same.

the layout is a bit of finding out where you are, you should getting used to it.

but in my oppinion it is completely playable and in my case accessible.

Hi I checked out the site. It took me to a page, and it spoke a language I can't understand. The second time I clicked on it it took me some site where it listed some muds and online games. I'm not sure what to do. I'm using Mazilla firefox

Hi. I tried signing up but no luck. Even when you click on the US or UK link, it's still not in english. Which is sad because this game does sound good.

I'm gone for real :)

i'll check it out directly and report back to you

hi

@wp85

i'll hope you're going to love it as much as i do at this moment.

i logged in three ddays ago and i have near 89.000.000.000 dollars in my stash. and never got attacked the year i hadn't log in.

but you haven't to build everything yourself. i attacked other cities when i got a army. i have 2.000.000 soldiers and 500.000 para-troopers.
i don't know if this is a known word in english. but soldiers who drop out of a airplane with parachutes.

i've done 5 attacks so far and obtained near 100 skyscrapers, 80 munitionfactories etc.

so you can capture buildings of other cities.

i get near five million every 10 minutes, but my military costs are 4.5 million so i receive 500.000 every ten minutes. the para-troopers cost more every 10 minutes than my soldiers, but are more powerfull in attack.
and tomorrow i'll sell some of my soldiers to trade them in for troopers what carry rocket launchers with them. these are even more powerfull than my para-troopers.

i am near 200.000 points. you'll get points for attacking succesfull, building structures, training military. you'll lose points for a failing attack or buildings that are captured by others.

i am playing three days, lost 2 battles due to my failing army and it's failing structure, but i won 5 battles and i am not attacked. not yet at least.

but i hope you all will like it and hopefully when it gets more blind players it will get a database entry because everything is accessible.

exept the worldmap ...
but you can search targets in the ranklist. so the worldmap isn't that necesary

So I went to the site. It says I can use my facebook acount to play. So I gave it my log in info. So when I go back to the site. it says welcome back but as soon as I hit enter on the play game button, it switches back to a foreign language. Do I need to choose a country before I start playing?
