Online textbased game.

Have anyone of u ever played a textbased game? such as Travian,NukeZone,thecrims or Utopia?


anyways, i've tried them all and my favorite by all measures is Utopia You can find it on:

http://games.swirve.com/utopia ...

I haven't played it in a long time though, I just created an account 1 month ago and ended up in a decent kingdom with a great potential

the game has 2 servers, World of Legends and Genesis, the genesis server is basically a testserver where people try out different playstyles and the server admin tries out different things that might come on WoL..

You get 1 province to operate, you are established in a kingdom with maximum 25 provinces (it's usually around 20 cause the provinces are equally divided among the server) and there are about 20 kingdoms on an island.. dunno how many islands but there is alot of them..

With your province you build up your military, thieves and wizards. with ur military you protect your land and attacks enemies to steal their land although not in your kingdom cause they are your friends. with thieves you can steal money, food or other resources from enemies, you can also assassinate troops from enemies and other fun stuff very good to use if your kingdom are warring against another kingdom..Wizards help you cast spells, there are a great number of spells to cast, you can boost your defence, offence, magic defence, food production, decrease military wages, raise your military draft rate (your military is drafted from your population of peasants) you can also cast spells that will cause your enemy to loose troops every hour and spells that will kill their peasants..

Peasants is what gives you income, without income your military won't get paid and u cant attack... every province has a maximum population limit and it can be improved by several options such as Science..

Science is allocated in different categories,. there is one to increase food growth, one to increase income, one to increase population limit, one to increase thievery success, one to increase mage success, one to increase the effeciency of your buildings..

in your province you have a huge number of different buildings you can build and each one work in a different way, there are 18 different buildings and you can choose whatever building you want that will improve your province. homes gives you higher population limit, hence more peasants that will give you higher income or more troops to your military. Banks will give you higher income, Guilds are the ones who trains wizards, Armouries will lower military wage, drafting military cost and military training... these are just some examples of buildings that is really important for a province in Utopia

how does this military thingy work out then?.. you must first choose how much of your peasants you want to draft into your military, it takes a long time to draft peasants into military, first they become soldiers, then you have to pay them into going into training for different troops...

there are 5 different military troops: Soldiers, Offense specialists, Defence specialists,ELITES and Thieves. every different troops is given a different value, but a thief is a thief, it only works for doing thievery operations. it will also help you to detect other enemy thieves. meaning, if you have alot of thieves it will prevent enemies from stealing resources from you or killing your troops..

offense specialists are used to attack, they have the power of offense points,
defence specialists are used to defence, they have the power of defence points.
ELITES have different power points depending on what race you choose to play your province with.
soldiers are weak troops that you train into defence specialists, offence specialists, elites or thieves.


this game is pretty mathematical, alot to do with numbers.. if you think this is kinda interesting I can give you a more reasonable guide

cheers!

Sounds good. I'll just make a quick note that there's a text-based game that I made too, at http://playevo.com/.

I think you might be a good assett once you get to know the game well. if you want I can fix so you end up in my kd.. we have a great king and we are getting some nice old vet's in the kd to get a nice core of players..

there are lots of top players scattered among the server now playing in ghetto kd's moving around every age. my current kd is still struggling to find nice players but we have nice foundation.. we've played 4 wars this far and won 2 of them.

i've only fought in 1 war since I only created this account about 1 month ago..

the server is reset every 4-5th month so everyone gets a fresh new start with new stuff changed to the game so it's basically a different game every AGE as it's called.

there are a bunch of different tools to use for the game to make it easier, there are independent homepages dedicated to the game of utopia..

http://www.utopiapimp.com allows you to setup your kingdom and gather enemy intel.

http://www.utopiatemple.com .... find lots of neat stuff about utopia here.

http://utimes.org/ this is the unofficial newspaper of the game Utopia some vets of utopia has created this for people to follow what's happening on the server such as top kd's wars, alliance wars.. there is also some strategy guides. other tools etc..
