I have progressed very fast in this online -age of empires- type game. If you enjoyed AoE you should try this game and pm me or if you already do play. We need help taking over England!

played for months but stopped when 1 house was 20 times the power of any other XD

Played it a while back.

Was a leader of one of the main factions in the strongest house.

Game is VERY diplomatic, and VERY time consuming if you want to be at the top.

If you don't have the time to put in you'll need to spend a lot of $$$, but if you have a LOT of time then you don't need to spend much.

The biggest problem is you need to be scouting 24/7 if you want to keep up with $$$$$$ spammers. So you need to scout EVEN more than they do with their constant speed boosts etc up. Thats really the only way. And that means being active every 10 minutes. Also you'll need to be around all the time to wathc for NPC rat castles etc appearing.

You'll need to be trading CONSTANTLY buying low - selling high etc also.

One day I just realised it was more of a chore than a game. Yes I had a lot of power, I could have a hundred players destroy one guy if I wanted.. but most of the game is just behind the scenes diplomacy with other houses. And later on, dealing with NPC castles gets VERY tedious as they are pretty tough, and if you dont destroy them they will start breaking your buildings (and walls) which take forever to rebuild later on.

great analysis. you exaggerated on the AI tho, I find they are not so tough to defeat and I even tend to keep them around for experience. they don't do much negative other than a ransack here and there. it is very time consuming tho.

Exactly. They ransack. Which can cost you days worth of real time building production (uncarded).

Similarly, you seem to be forgetting that if YOU don't kill them then YOU don't get the reward, and someone else will. That is not good if you want to stay at the top.

Also, if you have large resource banks they can fuck that up too. Especially when they don't give a fuck about which resource costs more/less.

Basic pig castles, even larger ones aren't really a problem. Wolf castles? Gonna cost you a LOT of troops.

I must be doing better then you had =P

ransack doesn't cost me much unless its the slight chance they destroy any FP production buildings. usually some apple farm or stone quarry gets destroyed. that really doesn't matter to me. its worth the honour and since most of my villages are complete I cant fit any more buildings so to have to remake one is just click and wait. not that im depending on that building. and to destroy the castles really is easy, it only costs gold and nothing else if you are the steward of a parish. my parish works like a team usually my faction leaders send me the report and I just destroy the AI. using vassals to destroy wolf/bandit camps so it doesn't come from my own castles etc. and "staying on top" is an impossible thought to me and with that idea in mind of course any player would quit. you can be a king and get voted out 30 min later. the only way to really run the world is being the house controlling the world. and that would consist of a team of over 200 players. they would all be the best not any single one player.







I don't use tokens just cards. to be a "card-player" only costs a 2 time fee of 4.99 in order to become kingdoms veteran lvl 10 (14 cards a week) I actually still have my original token from those 2 purchase. 3 months - ill probably use 2 15 day vacations when I use my 3 month token hah

good trade. took 10 min to set up, but paid as promised.
