ZoopTEK server is back up! Coniclysm high scores, Mastery, and PBON are all back and ready to rock!

It appears that while I was away for the weekend, the power supply for the ZoopTEK server went kaput. It will be down until I can procure a replacement. This unfortunately means that Coniclysm's high scores, Mastery, and Star Fighter Duel 3 will be down until then. We apologize for the inconvenience.

An epic battle broke out between massive alliances, and then a massive backstab at the very end! Great game everyone! Check out the previous game's statistics here.

Game 208 is a large continental map with several dozen small continents to conquer! Watch the seas!

Two nations, Lair and Red Egg Delicacy dominated the last game pretty quick. Small maps such as the previous are pretty darn cutthroat! Check out the previous game's statistics here.

A new round has started today, this time a large inland map--a bit easier for newer players. Start your nations now!

The album featured in Coniclysm was officially released today!

If you enjoyed the music in Coniclysm, like the idea of orchestra-meets-electronica music, take a listen!

The previous round was mighty epic, with two huge alliances at each other's throats!

You can check out all the statistics from the previous Mastery round by clicking on the Mastery Past Games link now located at the top right of the site.

Start your new nations now! The world will fill up mighty quick... the competition for world domination will be great!

Mastery game 205 has begun! It's a world map! World maps are huge games, so gather your friends and create your nations now!

I have also updated the Mastery dumps--so you can learn how you got crushed last round!

Hey all!

The new Coniclysm update is going swell. We hope to get it up early this week! It has 70+ achievements, greatly expanded online high scores, and a bunch of fixes (thanks to our fellow addicts :-D)! Keep in touch!

Easiest way to stay in touch is become a fan of ZoopTEK on Facebook and/or Twitter!

There has been one issue with Coniclysm dealing with initializing audio we cannot fix, because it is not an issue with the game, but the player's system. Due to it being fairly common, we have created a Coniclysm Troubleshooting page. We will list other common errors there.
