Dark Throne

[Goofball]

Hello all. Dark Throne is a text-based MMORPG that you play through your browser (no down-load/installation required). I've been playing for about a week now and it's a good way to kill a 1/2 hour on your lunch break. Go check it out, it's free to play. Also, if you decide to sign up please do so through my link below, so I will get in-game bonuses for recruiting.

Thanks.

The games are great.. i played utopia for a long time and the other big one on swirve.com. No time now, sorry Goof, no props.

Well I linked with from your post yesterday Goofball - already up to level 8 - not a bad little text based game.

Its to bad some others linked the site in the Frontroom of the tavern - you probably lost a couple of other hits.

Here is my link - some of the current players can give me a recuit by hitting the link.

Should we start a total war alliance on the site -

Hi Red, glad you like the game. But where is your link?

I think we should start an Org Alliance. I am currently in another pretty good alliance called Green Wind, but I believe a player is allowed to be a part of up to three alliances.

I believe you are correct - in one just for protection right now - but actually looking for one of the better ones

And yes indeed an Org alliance is possible - if you feel up to starting one - I will gladly join it also -

And I reset today because I realized I selected cleric finally - yuck wanted Human Fighter so I can go on the offensive always.

Just FYI, there's a TWC alliance I'm currently a part of.

Hi Kaiser. I just accepted your invitation to join Deadmen Inc. Did you know it was me you were inviting?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Yea I knew

[Goofball]

Fellow Deadmen:

I would not advise picking too many fights at this point, the risk is not worth the $$ you make. Make sure you register your personal link at both the public recruiter and the Deadmen Inc. recruiter. Then make sure you "make your clicks" (yes, all 350 of them) every day, clicking first on the Deadmen recruiter, then on the public recruiter. In return, you will receive about 200 citizens every day over the course of the day. Train most of them to be miners. You don't need a huge army to have high offense/defence scores, but you do need good weapons: longbows for defence and longswords for offense. In the course of my spying, I saw a guy with a very small army, but his offense rating was over 100,000 due to weapons (I am assuming).

It took me a few days to figure all of this out, but since I did, my mining income has gone from 300,000/day to 1,700,000/day over the last two days. Now my strategy is to sit back, train most of my citizens as miners, and spend all of my excess cash on weapons and upgrades. Having said that, I am pretty much a noob at Dark Throne, so everything I have said above may be off base.

[nokhor]

when i hit about level 9 or so i began realizing that i was leveling up too fast and that others at my level had more infrastructure and hence much more offensive and defensive power than i did. so i am trying to slow down my leveling and build up my infrastructure. but once i get like 30 turns, i find it very hard to moderate myself and not go raiding.

[Crazed Rabbit]

TWC= Total War Center. The alliance is called TWC Alliance.

I would also recommend upping your mining. I'm pulling in 3mil a day now just from mining. I'm level 8, got their after picking on 0 defense people with lots of money.

My strat is the same as Goofballs: watch the money roll in, up the defense, then offense, attack and level.

I just transferred you 20,000. Sorry it's not more, but that's the max you are allowed to transfer in a day.

Hope it helps.

[Snowhobbit]

Well, to me it's a lot, will spend it to get some more miners, have about a 150 untrained men

[Crazed Rabbit]

20k will be coming your way shortly (t-3 mins)

I haven't spent much time here this week, and so thought I would pop over as I am off for a few days, and was surprised to find this thread, as I was going to look at the DT one in the front room.

So far the TWC Alliance is doing quite well, and gradually increasing members, and helping each other out. And I must say I am quite enjoying this game. I have just made it to level 17, after about 2 1/2 weeks.

Here are a couple of quick tips.

It's already been said, but use your recruiter clicks as much as possible. You can make 350 a day, and get 1 credit for every click. You can get back up to a max of 250 citizens a day from the recruiter, as other people use theirs and so your credit is used up. So if you click through the max for 5 days, you don't really need to for the last 2 of the week to get your max amount of citizens.

Don't go for a large army of unequipped troops, buy the most expensive upgrades you can at the Armoury for all troops.

I am gradually adding more tips, as I get time, over at wipeout140's site, follow the link in my sig if you want to check them out. Go to the Forum there, and checkout the MMORPG Forum. Also, some of us have posted tips in the TWC DT thread, so check that out as well if you want.

Is there an official .org alliance yet, if so, I would be up for joining it, as the only alliance I have decided to join so far is the TWC one, and you can belong to 3 (none of the other invites have appealed to me).

[Redleg]

Hit my link again whoever reads this thread - killed to many of my spies again. LOL

[Goofball]

Okay, after the frenzied addiction-induced obsessive play that usually takes over my life for the first week or so with any new game, I finally got my character up to something resembling respectability:

Offence: 43,000
Defence: 150,000
Level: 23
Population: 2837
Daily Income: 6,617,376

Then what do I find out? While reading through the Dark Throne Forum today, I log into the thread discussing the upcoming release of Dark Throne Gold, scheduled for "early 2005."

Then I come across this little tidbit of information:

"All accounts will be reset with the release of Dark Throne Gold."



AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Redleg]

:

"All accounts will be reset with the release of Dark Throne Gold."



AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

LOL - then rushing to attack others is not such a bad thing then.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

What are you guys talking about clicking things?

And how do you join one of them there alliances?

I'm Eightball_DH in DT.

Please help me (a little)!

Thank you.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I think I understand the public recruiter thing.

When you click, you get "credits." [EDIT]The ratio of clicks to credits is 1:1, apparently.[EDIT] The number of credits you have is related to the number of people who click on you - if you have more credits (from more clicking) others will click on you and then give you more citizens.



Clicky!

[Ja'chyra]

I'd join an org alliance if anyone starts one, or let me know and I'll start it and send out invites. My char name is Aeil.

Oh, and please click my link (heh, that sounds more than a bit perverted)

Well the ratio is 1:1, although you can give 350 clicks a day, but only receive a max of 250 citizens back a day.
