you know how some apps when you open them say "rate this app" and have a link to the App Store, would a higher rate and more reviews attract more players?if we were to add the rate this game feature?

It wouldn't hurt. If anybody on here is passionate about the game but has already rated it: what you will need is an itunes account and computer which has not yet rated WI, you can then download the app and rate it.

For most of us this isn't the case, but if you happen to buy a new device then consider creating another email address to register with itunes, sync your new device with a computer that isn't already synced with yours or another's itunes account, and then download and rate this app!

Of course, another option would be to introduce a prompt within the game to rate the app.

It's really a shame, considering how Warfare Incorporated is one of ~8 iPhone games which is actually a legitimate RTS. Just go on the "strategy" (I put this in quotes on purpose) section of the App Store: you're really only going to see tower defense games along with other games that don't even belong in the strategy genre (Minecraft? Seriously?).

Oh yeah, let's add that to the list of possible updates.

Right now, all versions of WI since it was released for the iOS device at the end of 2008, have gotten a total of 5,815 reviews in the AppStore. The latest version of WI (v1.62) has only gotten 273 reviews. WI deserves a lot more reviews than that!!
Since it probably won't be added in the game where it pops up asking you to review/rate the game, how about a 'never ending' room asking players to review/rate WI?
