Found this game on a popular site. Are people just able to make games that look and feel like others. I know of several other games that are similar to KoB and OE.


http://www.addictinggames.com/shockdefence.html Its not as good as random defense since the graphics on it suck.

You can't protect ideas unless through patent (which most games won't qualify for). You can copyright expression which would be graphics and potentially things like a build tree, etc., and you can trademark names and logos. So, basically, a game idea/concept can and is often copied. KoB was a twist on a popular idea. OE was a significant twist, but still falls under the category of the empire-building wargame theme.

I had just saw that game there and thought somebody didn't go through much work to change it. I think even my dumbass could come up a better twist than they did tongue.gif

the towers specify if they can be used for air, land, or both. I think you're talking about the air only one smile.gif
