Middle Age Games

Strategy Browser Game – The brand-new free-to-play strategy browser game Forge of Empires has literally turned the gaming scene on its head. Within the first eight weeks, one million users had already registered for the real-time strategy game for the chance to build their own medieval empire. We couldn’t ignore the hype and have tested the game out for ourselves. Here is our report… Official Forge of Empires TrailerPLAY ONLINE FREE Game Concept In this free-to-play strategy browser game Forge of Empires (FoE for short), you build your own medieval empire. As you progress, you will need to protect yourself against enemies, form alliances and master different historical ages. Exciting Changes in Eras: Just like in the well-known Age of Empires series, in Forge of Empires you begin in the Stone Age and only have a few buildings and units at your disposal. By completing missions and researching new technology, you can quickly progress to the next historical era. With each new age, your empire changes its appearance. Buildings become more modern and advanced and the citizens become more civilised. You, of course, also have access to new units, buildings, research options and missions with each new era. With each new era you must focus on making your empire as powerful as possible, able to compete not only economically and militarily but also technologically. Hungry Citizens and Diligent Workers: As the head of your empire you are responsible for each and every task. Your people need to have regular access to nutrition and living space, as they could otherwise stop paying taxes or emigrate to neighbouring empires. There is another advantage to having happy inhabitants: They increase the speed of research and production. As the research of new technology, production, trade, military and unit development are all vital for progression in Forge of Empires, it becomes more and more important to pay attention to just how content your citizens are. Teamwork and Trade: If you are wanting to progress a little bit quicker in the free-to-play strategy browser game Forge of Empires, you have the option of forming alliances, or rather guilds, with other players. By doing so, you also have the ability to help or get help from other players in times of need, speed up the construction of industrial buildings and establish trade links. These alliances aren’t only for protection and trade, but allies can also be called upon to support you in fighting other players and guilds, as well as taking over new cities or whole continents. Of course, it’s also a lot more fun to play together and get connected with other like-minded players. Heroes, Adventures and Quests: Alongside these features, the strategy browser game Forge of Empires offers a very extensive quest system. Enter into countless adventures, defeat bandits in the wilderness or conquer areas and natural resources together with your heroes. There is a specially made quest map for this very reason. This map shows the continent, where your empire is based and the surrounding areas, which you have already discovered. Bit by bit you can add additional areas to your empire and finally even take over whole continents. What’s particularly exciting about this feature are the encounters with bandits. These take place in a kind of grid map, just like the one seen in the classic strategy games like Heroes of Might and Magic. Special FeaturesHistorical Eras: Progress through different eras and enjoy the constantly changing appearance of your buildings and units Countless Possibilities: Build hundreds of unique buildings, units and wonders, and research new technologies and upgrades Exciting Quests: Experience exciting adventures with your hero in countless missions and find a diverse range of helpful items along the way Regular Updates: Regular events and updates within the game (e.g. Holiday and Festive events) make sure you never get bored Free-to-play: Play the game for free with thousands of other players and choose how you want to lead your empirePLAY ONLINE FREE The Bottom Line We’ve made our decision. The free-to-play strategy browser game Forge of Empires is without a doubt one of the best and most extensive strategy games, which is currently on the market. The already well-known game studios InnoGames has produced yet another hit, after releasing such classics as Tribal Wars and Grepolis.

MMO/Strategy – One of the most iconic fantasy series of the past years has now received its very own browser game. Game of Thrones is coming to your PC as a free to play strategy hit. Despite the coming winter we went ahead and checked it out for you. Here is what we found in the war-torn continent of Westeros. But neverless, you need to try it yourself, it is worth it. We’re absolutly into it! Official Game of Thrones TrailerPLAY ONLINE FREE Game Concept The Game of Thrones browser game is best described as a neat little mixture between city building and strategic combat elements. As one of the aspiring lords of Westeros it’s your duty to not only take care of your people but also raise powerful armies to defend yourself against countless foes who are lurking and waiting on the far edges of the realm. Meet all the unique characters from the series and put them in your service to overpower your foes in the fight for the Iron Throne. Grow a strong economy: There is a lot going on outside your castle walls but before you can even think about tackling with these issues, you have to make sure that everything is in order within your own walls. Raising an army isn’t cheap and the gold that you need to hire soldiers doesn’t grow on trees. Neither does the food or the metal that’s needed for their weapons. In order to have the required resources when needed, you have to make sure that your own castle is well equipped for upcoming wars. Building mines, lumberyards and farms is only one way of providing the income needed for upcoming battles. Having a strong economy that can endure the hardships of long military campaigns will eventually turn out to be insanely important. Only the lords who understand that will be able to pass the test of time and put a serious claim on the Iron Throne. Massive battles: Once you secured a steady supply of income it’s time to raise an army that the world has not seen before. Building infantry barracks is the best way to start out and while you initially only get to hire archers and basic footmen, you will eventually unlock more powerful units along your quest in Westeros. The interesting part about all this is that you can and actually have to put up your units in specific formations, to put the unit’s characteristics to best use. Having archers in the front line is most likely not the best idea for example Furthermore you can attach some of the most iconic characters to your units, providing them with extra buffs. We had Sansa Stark leading our army into battle at one point. Save to say that Lady Sansa really has come a long way since season one. Conquer your rivals: Growth can be achieved in two ways in Game of Thrones. Either by solely relying on your home grown economy or by taking the fight to your foes and raiding their supplies. As you imagine the second option is the more profitable one. The implications are clear. Always be on your guard when your army isn’t home because threats are lurking around every corner. Thankfully expanding your defensive options is also a thing that you can invest to while your army isn’t home. Therefore it’s highly advised to keep a close look on your surroundings when leaving your base or otherwise you might regret it. Special Features of Game of ThronesFree-to-play: Just sign up and you’re good to go. Game of Thrones is completely free to play. Grow a strong economy: Elevate your kingdom into new heights and rise a powerful economy that will provide the necessary resources for your war efforts. Massive Battles: Rising an army is one thing but putting it to best use is another. Play the strengths and weaknesses of your units to your advantage and overpower your foes. Conquer your rivals: Take the fight to your foes and raid their supplies in order to boost your own growth throughout your campaign.PLAY ONLINE FREE The Bottom Line Okay, the Game of Thrones didn’t reinvent the genre of strategy games but given the fact that it’s the officially licensed title, it manages to leave a strong impression. The overall vibes are fitting and meeting all the characters from the series, like Melisandre, Sansa and all the others, was quite nice – especially since the last season of the series is still a few weeks out from now. Dabbling around in Westeros as one of the many different lords, competing for power with others really gave us the feeling of what it could feel like to fight for the Iron Throne. Gameplay wise the base building is pretty solid and the same can be said for the whole strategy aspect of the game. In this regard we can recommend this game without any doubt, especially in times where everyone is waiting for the conclusion of the series. Full Review

Fantasy Browser MMO – Games in which you are responsible for a city or settlement have always been something we really enjoyed playing. With Elvenar, a brand new free to play fantasy browser MMO from InnoGames, we finally managed to get our hands on one of the most promising titles this year. We tried out the Beta and here is our report. Official Elvenar TrailerPLAY ONLINE FREE Game concept Elvenar is a free-to-play fantasy browser MMO in which you are responsible for the well-being of the citizens within your settlement. Either by playing as a human or elf, you are in charge of the whole settlement. Distribute your scarce resources in order to build a thriving economy, explore the hidden areas around your settlement and discover dangers and riches alike. By finding the balance between economic and military expansion, you have it in your hands to become the most successful governor in Elvenar. The basics of economy: In Elvenar it’s all about your resources. Since you start out with only your Main Hall and a few coins and some basic construction materials, you have to find a way to turn your plot of land into a prospering settlement. Finding the right balance between income in the form of money, happiness of your citizens, generated supplies and the strength of your army is not an easy task. In that regard Elvenar really caught the spirit of games like The Settlers and other similar titles, since even though most of the actions take a fair chunk of time, the overall gameplay and economy building has a strong resemblance to the fathers of the city building genre. One step ahead through technology: Bringing a knife to a gunfight is usually bad idea and it is the same in Elvenar. Staying ahead of your opponents is as important as continuous improvements to your resource generating buildings and unit producing structures.  To be able to do so, you will eventually have to research new technologies, such as the secrets to process steel, which will allow you to cast steel bolts for your crossbowmen, powerful military units that have specialized in ranged warfare. The same applies for your economy. New technologies will eventually lead to a significant boost of your overall production and therefore allow more investments for your military operations. The options seemed countless, since the complete tech-tree in Elvenar contained dozens of different options for potential upgrades. Explore the world, acquire relics: Another key feature of Elvenar comes with the exploration of your surroundings. By sending scouts out into the wild you will eventually find other players and other points of interest on your world map. By visiting each of these locations, you get the opportunity to acquire certain relics and resources, both needed to improve your settlement. Unfortunately these relics are often guarded by monsters and unless you basically bribe those fiends, you will have to fight them in order to obtain the relic. If you decide to fight them, you get the options to manually fight it out or just by letting the computer take over. Usually it is a better idea to fight it out manually, since as soon as you got the hang of it, you will find ways to minimize your own losses while taking out your rivals. Special Features of ElvenarFree-to-Play fantasy browser MMO: Elvenar is absolutely free to play – Just sign up once and you are good to go directly in your web browser. Economy management: Manage the economy of your settlement and lead your people to prosperity. Research advanced technology: Unlock powerful technologies that will help you to further improve your army and your economy alike. Explore the world: You never know what you will find. Explore the world of Elvenar and find hidden relics and devious beast that try to stand in your way.PLAY ONLINE FREE The Bottom Line The free to play fantasy browser MMO Elvenar is a game that has this very unique soothing touch. You play it, listening to the relaxing music and while you rearrange the layout of your settlement, you completely forget the time. A characteristic feature of a good game actually, and that is what Elvenar definitely is – a good game. Even though it is still in its Beta, you get the idea of what the game will look like once it’s completely done. Especially in terms of its tech tree you get the impression that Elvenar will be a game that could be played for ages- especially if you are looking to build the perfect settlement. For many other the game has the potential to be that kind of game in which you login occasionally, checking for the well-being of your people, while waiting for the next upgrade to happen.
