Has anybody tried Dark Throne? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I've just started playing Dark Throne. It's a free web-based MMO (RPG) that uses a web interface. The game is currently in Beta, but is still quite playable. It's great fun, and I'm hooked. I started playing it today, since the WoW servers are down (which tends to happen a lot).

Anyway, I can recommend it, if for nothing else, then as a nice pastime:

Yeah

The game is actually kinda fun. And has an easy learning-curve.

But i suspect, that once you hit the higher levels, you'll get attacked a lot more by the other players, since there are comparatively few higher level players. This is because you can only attack players within 5 levels of your own.

I were a goode boy and boosted your pop to 184.

WTF? No safe period? I just lost over 40,000 gold in 3 minutes, all from the same person attacking like 6 times in a row!

Thanks

Yeah...there is no safe period. You log off with the risk of getting attacked. Then again, you get attack reports, so you can always revenge yourself.

I would never do that - seriously I wouldn't

This is actually getting more and more fun. I think I'm getting the hang of it now - it really isn't that hard to play, but I suspect it is hard to master

The key to not losing all your gold when off-line, is actually two things.

A) Don't have all your gold lying around. Bank it. If your gold is banked, attackers cannot pillage it, if you are defeated.

B) Since you'll make a lot of money overnight, or when at work/in school, you are in for an attack sooner or later. Therefore, you must build a strong defense. Don't think too hard about offense at the start - there are so many people playing this game, that it is not hard to find someone with around a million gold unbanked, but with no soldiers - i.e. free gold Go for defense af the start, since you will!! get attacked sooner or later.

This game, I'm slowly discovering, requires patience

Rome was not built in one day, and neither is an empire in Dark Throne. But if you recruit at a steady pace, and keep using your gold to acquire more miners, then eventually you'll have a decent army. The strategy needed to lvl up is one of slowly building your army, when still low lvl, and then once you are strong, you can start attacking. Be sure to build early, though. And don't leave your gold lying around.

The more turns you use, the more gold you pillage.

The official forums state that using around 5 turns will give you a nice combo of gold/xp, if you are low on turns.

No, not at all, it is much like some of the other, your territory/army/production MMO's out there.

However, there are 100,000 players on this one, so I feel a little lost in the shuffle.

I mean, yeah, it is easy to survive, and steal the odd goal from other players. But I suspect, that to become a top ten player, a tad more is needed

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

@ Asmodean: I'm interested in joining the Apolyton alliance.

I'm Segvirion.

(When I joined the game, I received nothing less than 4 invitations to join other alliances, but I chose not to join any of them. How do they do it? I mean, it must involve some automation - new user = send an invitation. I guess the game provides such feature to alliance leaders).

Ive gotten the basics of it at least at low levels.
The easiest way to make cash is attack people, but that raises your level and exposes you. While if you do not level, you can safely mine and slowly build something while staying safe from attacks.
I guess something in the middle is good.
Click these once a day to help me :

we should all post our corresponding links.
At low levels, even a +5 +10 citizens a day helps.

Tired of ads?

Oh...one other thing:

Guys, don't forget to use the recruiter. It's found in Community->Recruiter, and it's 350!! clicks per day.

But for that you'll get 250 extra untrained citizens per day, that can be converted into miners=more (in fact a lot more) gold.

Suffering from ads?

How many deposits you get in the bank, depends on what mine upgrades you have. The lowest (nickel mine) get's you 3 deposits base. The system is complicated. If you use 1 deposit, a timer starts, giving you that deposit after 24 hours. Each of the three deposits has it's own timer, and you can never exceed three deposits with a nickel mine.

Every mine upgrade gives you 1 extra deposit.

Alliances are basically a group of people agreeing not to attack eachother, and helping eachother if attacked. When farming for gold, you may want to think twice about attacking a player who is a member of a powerful alliance, since that may mean getting attacked by all members of that alliance that are within 5 lvls of your own.

Also, alliances gives a bonus when recruiting, since members can click eachothers links, thus adding recruits to eachother.
