this is half the help tutorial read bits of it u will understand the aim of the game

 

What is the purpose of this game?

This game is a simulation of 18th century warfare, both on land and at sea. You will be one of the thousands of officers in the army or the navy of one of the more than 50 countries in the world.

Together with the people in your country, you aim to make your country the most successful of them all. Whether you are in the navy, fighting for domination of the seas and oceans and securing transport routes for your countries army, or in the army, fighting in cooperative strike to capture cities from other countries, you will form an important part of you countries success.

This Beginners Guide explains the army part of the game. Your task is to rid the forests of robbers, raid foreign villages, attack enemy officers that have their camp close to the border, or even attack and possibly capture a city of another nation.

You are helped in your quest by your soldiers, who will follow you in whatever you plan to undertake. You can hire them in the city castle. Don't hire too many, cause the salary of a low-ranked officer might not allow this. And don't do stupid things: you might get them (or yourself!) injured or even killed!

How do I earn money?

There are 3 ways to earn money: Through your basic salary. Every half an hour you get your salary, and pay the salary of your soldiers. What is left of your salary you can save for later. If you get to a higher rank, by gaining enough experience (XP), your salary will be increased.

The other way is through battle. If you capture enemy soldiers they can be ransomed by their officers. If you lose a battle, your soldiers may also be captured.

Apart from your own income, you are also rewarded for the merits of your country. Every day you will receive some amount of gold depending on the amount of cities your country has and how long they already occupy them. In each city you can see the value you will get each day in gold from this city. This value increases by 5 every turn it is occupied by your country and is reset to 0 when the city is taken. Next to that you also get your share of the tax paid to the country by merchants. You will receive these amounts at 06:00 game time.

How can I earn XP?

For every battle you get some amount of XP, for a hard battle you get in general more XP than for a very light one. There is a lot of randomness involved in this though.

Apart of this there are several cases in which you can get bonus XP:

When you defeat another player: You get more XP for defeating a higher player. If you lose, the defender gets the XP.

When you defeat a city (as part of larger army): You get more XP for a larger city and for a higher rank (being that with a higher rank you probably contributed more to the victory than the lower rank in the same strike force).

Why can't I buy all types of units?

Every city has its own supply of soldiers in the castle. It's possible that the unit you are looking for is not available in the city where you are. In that case, travel a bit around the country and you are sure to find it somewhere. Every 6 hours there's a chance the city will get new soldiers to hire.

Note that only a few unit types are available everywhere; apart from these universal unit types there are special units for continents and countries (check the Army reference guide for more details). Make sure the unit you are looking for actually does appear in cities of your country.

Can I get special units from another country?

Actually, you can. If you capture a city of another country that has a stock of their special units, you can buy them in this city. However while you are holding the city, it will be supplied with your special units so you get them only till they are sold out.

Where did my soldiers go?

Soldiers don't desert you anymore if you run out of money to pay them. If your troops are gone, they will have either died in battle or you would have had to dismiss them.

Where should I attack?

In the beginning, it would be wise to stay in the relatively safe market or forests of your own country. Also, look at the situation; don't go rushing in a camp of robbers with only a couple of apprentice soldiers... On higher ranks you can defend your beaches against pirates or the surrounding lands against robbers and barbarians.

When you climb the ranks you'll notice that you don't find any robbers in the forests at all. This is not a coincidence; by then you already have build up enough reputation for robbers to stay out of your way.

This is the moment to wage yourself outside the nation's borders. Again, don't attack other countries cities as you'll most likely get slaughtered going there alone. Rather raid some neutral villages. Raiding villages is easy, they don't give much resistance, however this is not without risk, as you have a chance the village will be helped by a nearby captain, or even a general...

Once you have reached the rank of Lt. Colonel you can initiate invasion armies. This way you can combine forces with other players to attack the cities of other countries. It may be wise to do a bit of spying before you send you and your subordinates to a possible death...

Regardless of your rank you also have the following options:

Attack players of your own rank and higher in border-cities (you have a chance to capture them and get half of their gold). You can only attack players of countries that have a real war with your country.

Join a higher officer in attacking a city. If you are part of his army when he takes over a city, you will be rewarded by much more XP than you can get in ordinary battles. You can see whether armies are being prepared when you go to the city castle. You must be at least 3rd Lieutenant to be able to participate in armies.

What do I win by attacking?

In many battles you will not earn any gold, but you will always get XP points for you and your soldiers. This will make them stronger and it will lead to your promotion. If you are promoted you get a higher salary and can hire more soldiers or promote more of your soldiers.

In wars any battle you win against your enemy makes your country stronger and the enemy weaker, bringing them closer to defeat

Seems a strategy war game for me. Not unique by the style but maybe by the code. I'm not aware of an existing engine which offer such features so for me, if you want to have something similar you will have to code it yourself.

When I asked for a sum up I did not mean copy and paste the tutorial... I mean a quick sum-up of what it's about... There are things like solar empire where you built up space ships, and attack people like that. Infrastructure on plans etc... Could be adopted for a land based army game?

Cornnub: Sorry but it seems you want to have a game without making any effort not even the effort to search. FORGET IT! That will simply not do it, you will have anyhow to learn how to code, learn how to secure, how to advertise and how to manage your game (without talking about even maybe how to manage your server(s)). So start slowly, learn and do it yourself. Check this article: http://makewebgames.io/content.php/142-Checklist-for-your-game-development and that should explain you what I mean by start slowly.
