Eli, nice going. Looks like your kingdom is having a great age.

We are too - we're not in the world land or networth charts this age, and we're low down on the world honor charts. This age we went for war wins and have racked up nine of them with little trouble.

1st is 15:19 with 10 wins
2nd is us (24:2) with 9 wins

** Summary **
We gained 4591 acres.

say, do you recommend this game to me? Is it similar to simcountry.com?

Lemmy · March 15, 2003, 11:46

Nooo, this is very different from SimCountry, much simpler, and more focused on teamplay.

And off course it has the fantasy theme.

And it's much more fun!

You should try Az.

Lemmy · March 15, 2003, 12:42

How much fun it is depends whether you're on the receiving end in wars, or on the giving end

Zopperoni · March 15, 2003, 19:27

Give it a shot, Azazel.

The new round begins in the week of March 31st, that's the best moment to start playing.
[The rules won't allow you to carry over your account in the KD you end up in if you start now, so it's best to start at the beginning of the next round.]

And if you need help or have questions about the game, the regular posters in this thread are all experienced players

I'm surprised, I haven't done too poorly for my first time around. 1000 acres, ~150,000 nw. In the Battlefields, no less!

Don't worry, though. I'm sure I'll find a way to shoot myself in the foot here sooner or later.

What you need to look at are the world dwarf honor lists.

36 Nuclear Smurf (3:2) Dwarf No Smurfs Love You (3:2) Britannia (#2) 3150

I'm also on the lists for my race but I'm lower down.

71 GhostOfChristmasPast (24:2) Elf Ghosts of MYTH (24:2) Britannia (#2) 3046

Forces from iKilledOurKingHaha (3:38) came through and ravaged our lands! They captured 458 acres!
We lost 350 Archers and 586 Berserkers in the struggle.

This is ****ed up.

Zopperoni · March 19, 2003, 04:16

Hm, it seems I made a mistake in looking at the calendar.

Azazel, the new round starts in the week of March 24th, not the 31st, sorry.

It's unfortunate, but this is fairly normal if you have good honor.

Last age, I was not attacked for WEEKS. Then in the last few days of the age, when I was a Count, I was hit 2 or 3 times in the last few days by honor hunters. At one point last age, I had almost enough honor for Marquis, but honor hunters put a stop to that.

Eli · March 20, 2003, 06:12

Well, I managed to grab 450 acres back ina single hit so it's not a big deal now.

Which wasnt worth a **** since as soon as the buildings on the new acres were done I was hit for another 450 acres.

We(KLA) and a few other top kingdoms are bringing down a top kingdom who tried to feed on another top kingdom and take KLA's #1 spot in the world's kd nw charts. It seems that Myth joined the war against us.

More from Mehul :

Quote:

As mentioned above, we don't expect to make major changes this round to Utopia. Some potential changes include:

* Tweaking of war benefits / drawbacks to discourage "fake wars"

* Unique elite costs for each race

* The ability to generate Elite Units through long-term building investments (similar to Science)

* Additional tweaks to happiness, attack gains, etc.

* Race changes have not yet been looked at, but Faeries, Undeads, and maybe Avians will likely be improved.

zopper, once again we may have an opening for you...i am starting to take it personally now :P

the smurf squad is making waves in utopia..albeit, still little ones, but apparently we are getting a rep!!!!!

go smurfs go!

finally up to viscount again....a 500 acre grab on a marquis will do that for you hahahahaha

then they ran the fools.....too bad, we would have grabbed alot of honor from them

Zopperoni · March 22, 2003, 16:24

Hm, I am in dubio.

On the one hand, I don't want to leave, but on the other hand, I do want to be in a KD where I can break my Marquis-record.

Perhaps, if my current KD ends up on WoL next round (not unlikely, since we're only with 17+2), I can play in both KDs

War4ever · March 22, 2003, 22:09

i love afros :P

Eli · March 23, 2003, 03:06

More about the next age :

Quote:

On War Benefits & Drawbacks, we're looking at some combination of higher elite costs, higher science costs, lower specialist costs, lower science decay, lower income, and lower maintenance. We will likely pick some combination of 2 or 3 of these to add into war effects.

We may expand all Armouries to work as Halfing Armouries currently do.

For race changes, the primary change will likely be dropping elite costs for some of the weaker races and raising them for some the current top races.

We are also looking at expanding the exploration pool and reducing the overall cost of exploring (both in gold & soldiers).

As mentioned earlier, this next round will have very limited changes; the current round was primarily ended early due to a combination of scheduling issues and the extensive downtime mid-game.

More will be posted as available...

Zopperoni · March 23, 2003, 19:22

YES! For the ninth round back-to-back I've reached Lord (or higher)!
