This game takes you on an incredible journey filled with adventure, danger, and many surprises. Immerse yourself in the history of Seven Lands and experience the legend directly in your browser.

Seven Lands is a free to play browser-based gamein which you roam through the depths of a troubled country, perform tricky quests, rage in the arenas and gather items.

In Seven Lands you begin your adventure in a torn and tortured land of mystical rituals – on an adventurous journey.

This dark and fantastic world awaits militant challenges, but you must also show commercial skills and keep a cool head when solving the puzzle.

In Seven Lands, you have the choice between four nations, each blessed with powerful skills. Whether you are a human, dwarf, elf or orc, your character progresses in Seven Lands, formerly Dunwich, and you experience epic battles with monsters and other players.

Each character has his own fighting style and the choices are yours. Depending on how you you settle your combat strategy and tactics, and adapt to your opponents, you can totally qualify yourself in the battles and fightings. If you are PVE fans, you can resort to explore the unknown enviroment, and slay monsters using different skills you learned, while if you are declinded to play in an Arena, then you can go to battle against other players who want to compete with you.

The German beta is live, while the English version or global version is not yet confirmed.

People often start playing Kingsage for the first time  on a brand new world, I did myself. It’s not always the best idea though, new worlds are very aggressive and even very experienced players sometimes struggle. The important thing is to get most benefit from those early days when conquest protecton is in place to get you off to a good start.

During your first week you cannot be attacked by anyone unless you yourself attack. You can however farm abandoned settlements with no penalty. This is followed by 30 days of conquest protection. For the first week then your priority should be building up your mines and warehouse.

Look around your map carefully and check the location of abandoned settleements. If there a some in easy reach then you can add a barracks and train some squires. If not leave the barracks until later. Also look carefully for a nearby very small inactive settlement. You will need this during the conquest protection phase.

As you get towards the end of the week start building up the hideout. No need to worry about the wall just yet but you can start improving your barracks and troop levels. These should be squires or berserkers for farming at tihs point. No rush for defence troops since you have no real need to defend anything.

Once your attack protection expires the fun begins. At this point you may well find yourself under attack from other players either just to steal your resources or to keep you weak until they can take your sett. There are three things you can do to combat this. One is your hideout will keep some resources safe. Build it up and use up your resources as fast as possible so there is never much to take. You can also build up your market. Put any excess good up at a silly exchange rate. That will keep them safe and if you’re lucky someone may even accept!

The final thing to do is keep your troops safe. You don’t want to lose them at this point since you will have need of them later. This is where that very small sett you located earlier comes in. whenver you go offline or are under attack send them there as support. By this point such a small sett cannot be attacked due to the 10:1 rule so they will be perfectly safe. A sett that is still under attack protection can also be used.

Don’t forget to build spies so you can keep an eye on your neighbours. Now is also the time to start building your wall and training more troops so that you are ready for business.

By the time your protection runs out you should have built up enough to give any local farmer a nasty shock and hopefully will even be in a position to conquer another sett of your own. Remember also that conquest protection only applies to your main sett and it isn’t lost if you take another players sett so you may even be able to expand before your protection runs out. You can take an abandoned or the second sett of another player even if he is still conquest protected in his main sett.

If anyone would like to try it out then http://kingsage.org/ is the place to start.

Each month we will do a event where people can win a classic game.

The fringes are populated by a volatile mix of pirates, miners, mercs, cutthroats, and Kilrathi, all struggling to make a life for themselves.

In this open-ended game you can choose from many paths. You start with a rusted scout ship and a handful of credits in your pocket. It isn’t much, but the universe is there for you to explore in search for profitable opportunities. Become a patient, law-abiding merchant, a smuggler far away from the normal space lanes, a pirate preying on the weak, or a professional mercenary hunting down criminal scum.

Halfway May Rainy and Zet both developers of The West where giving out hints what would come in version 1.32

From Developer Rainy

After releasing the patch 1.31 on german markets we figured out that we have to make some changes to the crafting system.

1. The cooldown of all useable products will be reduced to 10 minutes (written before)

2. We will reduce the difficult of the starting recipes that means you will need less products to craft the start items until a skill value of 100

3. We want to add some more start recipes which will build an own chain for example: You do a job to get leather after you found one leather you will be able to craft it to “better” leather. This “better” leather can be used to create “much better” leather with “much better” leather you will be able to create an item to use. As you can see with that chain you will be able to find just one leather and craft 4 times. (These chains are planned for every profession until a skill value of 25 or something like that).

Changes in crafting frontend:

I have made some changes to crafting frontend. First i converted it to the new screen layout. Second you will have a better overview about what products you need and which you already have.

From developer Zet

Here’s an example for 60 different avatars that’ll be available when changing to the new system (click on the picture for a larger version).

There are of course many more combinations (there are over 70.000 combinations possible already and there’ll be even more!) available, so there’ll be plenty of possibilities to customize your character the way you want.

And once Again from Developer Rainy

After successful release of the patch 1.31 on some german worlds we started to work with 1.32 (of course we also doing bug fixes in 1.31  ). With 1.32 we want to convert as many screens as possible to the new screen layout and window manager, some of them will just converted others will be completely reworked in order of that i have two screenshots for you.

For your information about the updates we started to translate 1.31 for all languages. We will finish the updates on german worlds this week. After that we will update other markets when their translations done.

Story

The sound of the turquoise Mediterranean sea softly swishes in your ears. You proudly look down on your town, which is thriving with life. Business and economy is booming due to your close relationships with other cultures and your modern army has very powerful alliance partners.

In Ikariam you lead your subjects from a small island race in antiquity to an up-and-coming nation. Dive into historical village life with its carefully constructed buildings and streets. The island view will inform you which of your neighbours are fighting against harbour blockades, attacks or an occupation.

Expand you capital city, research new technologies, found colonies, or populate more islands. Rely on trade or make more profit via strategic warfare. Regardless of which route you decide to take, your success will only be guaranteed with allies.

Features

• Simple introduction: Your town will thrive and you will overcome first hurdles very quickly if you have a pioneering spirit. A few clicks on your 3D-buildings and your loyal advisers and you will always have a good overview of the situation. Yet soon it will become harder to provide your villagers a better life with just modern buildings and inventions.
• Cooperative Game play: Maintain good relationships. Share your resources with island neighbours and boost demand. Form culture or trade treaties with other players or confederate in an alliance. Support each other, otherwise your people will soon be doomed to their downfall.
• Strategic Warfare: As a warlord you have to control the country as well as the sea. Occupy foreign towns and fight with allies at your side. Refine your manoeuvres and find out which ones can get you the most resources with the fewest losses.
• Advancement through research: Numerous clever researchers are developing advanced machines and dangerous weapons. Aside from military, cultural and economical achievements, some visionaries are also ahead of their time. Steam giants, hot-air balloons or even paddle wheels for ships have been sighted.

It will be brought online at 06:00 UTC

You can join Lord of Ultima here.

There will be no more naval blockades, instead both towns and harbours may be occupied. To gain full control you need to do both. In addition rebellions will be conducted without a wall which will put an end to the ’1 spear’ rebellion. The occupation will remain in place now untill the rebellion or ‘free town’ mission succeeds so it will no longer be possible to avoid double cost by queueing troops during a rebellion.

There are a number of other changes so for more details including the changelog look here.

While Playfish has been working on finishing up Leaderboards, They also been working on a new Property Card Request feature. This new feature will enable players to request particular Property Cards from their friends, and the friend receives Monopoly Money in return from MR MONOPOLY.

When you’re looking at your property cards, there will be an ASK button right next to the Gold Purchase button. Here’s a screenshot of me mousing over the ASK button.

After you’ve clicked on the ASK Button, a screen pops up that will show you some friends that have that particular Property Card. If you’ve only got a few friends, you can invite friends to the game through this screen as well.

Once you have clicked on the ASK button for a particular friend, you’re now ready to make a post on that friend’s Facebook Wall asking for that particular Property Card. You can customize the post with a message of your own – this is your chance to be as persuasive as possible to get your friends to help you out.

This feature is coming soon, Playfish is finishing up some parts of the feature right now. They are also tinkering around with the amount of Monopoly Money given to the player that sends their property card to a friend.

What do you think of this soon to be update to Monopoly Millionaires ?

Monopoly Millionaires brings the popular boardgame to facebook. Monopoly is a board game that is purely based on economics and has been one of the popular board games worldwide. It is simply addicting and there’s a very small learning curve. Beginners can easily pick up the game if they would want to.

The facebook game stays true to its board game counterpart and for those who would love to learn and enjoy the game, a very nifty tutorial has been added which brings you to speed on the different aspects of the game. Playfish has managed to turn Monopoly on its head and remake it into a social game.

The original look and feel, the basic mechanics of gaining property, building hotels, rolling the die and moving the Monopoly movers, tapping the board with each move is retained. But instead of playing against your friends, each player has their own board to customize and visit their neighbors to roll on their boards.  The player gets a number of rolls each play session that regenerates over time.

When the player lands on a property, however, instead of being able to buy that property or paying rent should it belong to the board owner, the player gets to select one of four cards in a mini-game and either walks away with a property card or not. Rolling doubles gains you another roll and you can get also land on “treats” that randomly spawn on boards for cash, rolls or property cards.

The player draws Chance and Community Chest “cards” in a similar four-card mini-game when they land on those spaces and pay a train fare when they land on a train station whether or not it takes them to another station. Like regular Monopoly, players also get sent to jail and get the chance to roll doubles to get out.

Some people might think that there is so much to absorb in Monopoly, well truth be told there’s quite a lot but Monopoly Millionaires takes care of that by providing you with a very comprehensive walkthrough that gets you up and running in no time.

If you’re familiar with Monopoly, then you won’t be having a hard time getting with the game, just remember that just like the real thing Monopoly Millionaires is a social game so you need to invite your friends to really enjoy the game. This game is targeted for those casual facebook gamers. It is Monopoly down to its very core.

Monopoly Millionaires is a free facebook game published by Playfish EA Interactive .

Pawn Stars: The Game is an adaptation of The History Channel’s popular reality TV show produced by A&E Television Networks.

Build your own pawn empire from the ground up. Haggle with customers to acquire inventory, consult with experts to determine market value, upgrade your store to accommodate more inventory, clean up items for increased profits and rise to the height of Pawn Stardom.

Gameplay in Pawn Stars: The Game revolves around the player running their own personalized pawn shop. Players can choose from a selection of sales clerks to be the face of their shop and then must deal with a continual stream of incoming customers who want to sell their possessions. Haggling is done with a sliding-scale system, and offers that are too low will cause the customer’s mood meter to drop. When that happens, the customers will provide a clue that makes it a little easier to work out how much they’re willing to pay. Purchased items can then be displayed on store shelves, and new offers come in for them regularly. The player can accept these offers at any time, but many of them are far lower than the prices they will have paid for the item in the first place, in which case they’re better off waiting.

The game also provides a series of facts about the items that come into the store, including historical context of antiques and related trivia. All items are taken from past episodes of the show, so there’s the possibility of learning while playing, making it particularly suitable for players with an interest in history and antiques.

Lord of Ultima will bring three brand new worlds online on Thursday the 19th of May.

This time will be a new German World,Welt 7, and two brand new Spanish Worlds, Mundo 4 and Mundo 5. They will be based on CEST except the Mundo 5 which will the first “Mundo Latino” based on UTC-4!!

The worlds will be brought online at the following times:

• Welt 7 - 08:00 UTC
• Mundo 4 (España) - 08:00 UTC
• Mundo 5 (América Latina) - 14:00 UTC
