No this is not a spam post.

What the heck is this game being advertised right now on ENworld? I attempted to figure it out from the site but did not make to deep.

some kind of RTS game in a MMO world? And you use money to buy land? Seemed really odd.

I was wondering the same myself. I guess it's supposed to be some kind of online strategy game, but going by the first ad that was used, I'm not sure it's any good. You know the one with the woman in the... robe..that's a millimeter shy of being, shall we say, Grandma unfriendly? It's all because of the Cleavage Law of Gaming: the amount of bare female skin used to promote the product is inversely proportional to the quality of said product.

My wife walked in to my man cave and thought I was looking at Porn on ENworld. Everything's ok now

Nothing's even exposed. You could see far better/worse (depending on your outlook) at any public beach, or on TV. If the ad had a shirtless man, would she have thought you were looknig at gay porn on ENWorld?

In one of the ads, I recognized buildings from Age of Empires 2.

From far away it looked rather risque. no biggie.

The cheesecake is pure advertisement, nothing to do with game.

Im having a good time with it so far. You build up your cities and armies, ally with other players and/or wage war against them.

The combat is completely abstract and the game merely compares the forces and gives you the casualty/victory report.

You build farms, lumber mills, stone quarries, and Iron mines. The resources trickle in. After a week I gain 14k food; 32k wood ; 27k stone and 15k iron per hour.

Build Barracks, Academies, Warehouses, Housing and city defenses (traps, guard towers, catapults) each building can be advanced to level 10.

Building structures or learning techs takes between >5min to 36 hrs (level 8+ walls)

You get a week to build, then you and other players can attack each other directly - successfully attacking another city means you loot his resources.
Otherwise you can attack NPC cities. Taking over a city has lots of restrictions, and is done only rarely.

Its more like a facebook game (ie mob wars) than a RPG.


Hope this helps.
