SO IT BEGINS

Remember, all actions must be sent to me via PM. You may choose to reveal your troops and treaties if you wish. Your starting resources are what you will get daily. You are all being PMd about your bonuses now.

Edited by President Whitmore, 06 July 2009 - 11:20 PM.

[UDP]

Still not sure how to win exactly, or how the fights work. What's elite training? Also, can we take other cities in our own area, and is there any purpose in doing this? Can each city train its own troops? Do you get more resources? Are days real days? If not what's a day? (I really hope a day isn't an actual day, or this game might take several months to finish)

Currently there is no win scenario. There will be several scenarios added in the 2000s era (We are currently 1700s). Elite training boosts the ability of your troops in combat. Training is automatically given to your troops. You can take over other cities in enemy territory, currently grey is off limits. There is a 10 day no-offense to all players. Combat is city to city, or ships to cities. When you deploy troops, you tell me in which city you want them placed. Days are real days because we have users from several different areas. There will be buyable buildings later in the game, which will include ways to boost your resources.

[IrishSpuds]

if this does take +1 month, i think the rewards should be upped a bit.

Also, what exactly are we supposed to do at this point? Do we send you what we would like to do with our resources? Also, do they replenish every day or something?

Initial amounts are what you get daily (so if you don't do anything, it stacks). You send me what you'd like to do with your resources, you talk to other players about treaties, and start planning.
