Talk:Artillery game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A game which could be listed on this page if anyone here knows it is a space based artillery game. I forget the name unfortunately, but if someone has played it they know the one i mean, your ships sit on planetoids and launch all sorts of ordinance at eachother, which is affected by the gravity feilds of the surrounding planetoids. Free game with online play, one of the best artillery games i ever played, i came here in the hopes of finding a refference to it as i have forgotten the name, or where to find it.
Yea, I know the one you mean. I actually came here looking for that exact game. I'm sure it's called something like Terra <something>, but I'm probably wrong. Anyway, I'm going to continue my hunt and when I find it, I'll add it here. :)

Another game which could be mentioned is Death Tanks. That was a real-time multiplayer artillery game on the Sega Saturn. However, it was only released as an "unlockable" inside other games. The first one in Powerslave, and Death Tanks Zwei in Duke Nukem 3D. It is said to be very fun (supporting up to 7 players simultaneously I think), but I have never gotten to play it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Scorched earth.png
Image:Scorched earth.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Removal of "shooter" references
I found somewhere between 10 and 20 references that called individual artillery games a "strategy game" (e.g.: X = strategy game, Y = strategy game, Z = strategy game). However, there are few/no references that explicitly refer to all artillery games at once and say "artillery games are a form of strategy game". As such, someone removed my references because they felt I was violating WP:SYN. Similarly, there were 3 or 4 references that referred to specific artillery games, calling each one a shooter (specifically "trajectory shooter" or "ballistics shooter"). I removed these specific references, in an effort to be consistent about the WP:SYN policy. I personally would prefer we include all the references, because I think it's better to violate WP:SYN than it is to violate WP:VERIFY. I think it's better to have references that refer to individual artillery games than no references about artillery games at all. But if we have to be strict about WP:SYN, then I would ask that we treat all references consistently. Randomran (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
