I can't see me paying <s>more than a dollar a month</s> actual money for a game I can only play 20 minutes a day.

Did they plan on charging? This IS EA we're talking about.

I think they're doing the free, but with micro-transactions thing (buying diamonds).

Re-attacked the dragon today with 45 beserkers.

I lost 1, and the dragon died.

Looted a small artifact, 880 gold, then small amounts of the others (66 to 200)

Well y'all figure out our game plan for the Day 1 reboot, and tell me what I need to do. I assume we will try to cluster on a single continent? Let me know how to do that.

Also, we should start as close to opening minute as we can.

This game really needs a "marketplace" like almost every other resource balancing game in the world so I can sell excess of one resource to buy more of what I need.

Yes, yes it does. It's very odd the way they do the trades right now.

With no market, you do avoid the hassle of an unbalanced market though! The Chineese will rape the servers for gold, devalue it and only the mega rich can buy stuff. No market means you only produce what you need and there's no rich people.

So far, the only thing I see that you have to pay for that you may not be able to do without is the defence minister. I guess he's the guy that warns you of incoming attacks or something. You can build watch towers that increase the amount of warning you get. But I don't see how to get the warning, unless you have him. If that's true, I'm not going to waste resources on watch towers cause I'm not going to give them any money.

The other for purchase stuff seems to be for auto maint while you're AFK and increasing your build queue.

I cannot stress enough that this is EXACTLY the same game as Evony. It's a complete ripoff. The worst part is that based on what I've seen so far, Evony might be a better game.

Well, evony and LOU are both rip-offs of Travian.

Became a Baron today, and found a level 2 dungeon with dragon. Recruited 25 beserkers and 25 mages, going to see about going after it tomorrow.

I skipped going for Level 7 and continued building my infrastructure. Maxed out my buildings making wood farms and a stone farm. I killed my first dragon with 61 berzerkers. I should wake up tomorrow morning with plenty of resources for level 7 and building up my wood farm even more.

Resources right now are:

w - 2185/h
s - 1272/h
i - 521/h
f - 64/h
gold - 157/h

Gordon, on continent 41, is reachable by water. Leisher, who is also on 41, is not reachable. Looks like being next to a river on the region map actually matters.

1555 / 1274 / 405 / 175 / 51

I spent too many resources on bldg stuff like barracks/stable, should probably be focusing on resource bldgs, but those are boring.

I was a little concerned about the use of items for people to get far ahead, but looks like they're constrained by mana, so at least people cant just buy their way all the way to victory.

Someone in the chat window asked "How do I get out of the Alliance I joined?"

I said: "Say 'I resign from my guild.'"

He did. It was funny.
