Might & Magic: Heroes Kingdoms browser game recruiting!

[Pheran]

Nice to see you guys again, invites sent! By the way, there are 6 open slots and 7 pending invites, so get a move on people!

I found out that the alliance limit will raise to 21 when we get 50K points. Not sure what happens after that (another member every 50K points?).

EDIT: By the way, ATOT is now ranked #3 on the server, and we're not even full yet!!

I must have been looking at dated info when I posted that, because now there is only 1 free slot and 5 outstanding invites. Also, ATOT is #2 and is within striking distance of #1!

Obviously, the alliance is going to fill shortly. With everyone playing, it probably won't take too long to hit 50K and get an extra player, not sure what happens after that. I'm sure we'll have a few folks who decide not to play, so after a while I'll purge the inactives to free up more slots.

Could do two alliances.

 

[shortylickens]

I think I'd rather just play Heroes.

This. If we did another alliance ATOT2, ATG, ATL&R

And we all have a mutual understanding that these alliances coexist, it would easily make us the most powerful super-group in the game. Heck, the ATOT group alone is poised to take the highest rank.

I think its definitely a good idea.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

yeah we need to. esp by the time people are ready to start military operations - dont want to target friendlies. any volunteers on starting a 2nd alliance?

 

[thecoolnessrune]

I'm willing to do it. Any consensus on what it should be called? Just call it ATOT2 or maybe something else?

 

[snoopdoug1]

I signed up - snoop_ATOT is my name

 

[Jetster]

It looks like there is enough demand for a second alliance, so let's get it going. TCR, since you volunteered, go for it. I'm assuming you can leave the alliance without me kicking you out. I think the name ATOT2 is fine, and it should make it obvious that we are affiliated. Also, having ATOT2 led by Pedobear will be amusing.

The only bad thing about this is that the game gives us our own in-game forums, but now they will be split across 2 alliances. I don't think there's any way to avoid it for now. As our rank increases and we can accept more players, we may be able to do a merge in the future.

The departure of TCR will free up one additional spot in ATOT, but here is a list of players that still haven't gotten into the alliance:

Ns1
PhoenixLOL
eldavojohn
waggy (I'm ASSUMING this is our waggy, but he hasn't posted here)
nightfox89
melty75
snoop_ATOT
jetster10
warlar
lareau

Any idea how old this world is? Are looking at all new players or are there vets in here?

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Haha, it shows that it will take 24 horus to leave the alliance!

Hmm, I wonder if I can boot you faster, let me try.

EDIT: I'm afraid not, oh well, ATOT2 will have to be established tomorrow. In the meantime, keep playing! We're in a tight race with Shacknews and The Brotherhood for the top spot!

 

[Ns1]

I tried to accept the invite but it woudln't let me

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Yes, I'll get ATOT2 established as soon as possible. I've been playing a bit so my withdrawing might hurt our ranking in ATOT. So I ask that by the end of next week people should begin comparing themselves as I think we should maintain the strongest members in ATOT1 by the end of the newbie period. We'll let new players and the ones not playing as often comprise ATOT2. Depending on how popular this becomes we may need more.

Also, this morning I noticed a change in fighting in that you can now conveniently subtract or add a critter to your fighting stack with quick toggle buttons and also a "quick optimize" button. Good additions.

Now I wish they could let alliances align with each other. That would be the sort of mass-empire complicated politics system that could make for awesome relations strategy rather than just trying to build a whole bunch of little groups.

That's probably because ATOT has 20 members until TCR/Pedobear finishes leaving (in 24 hours), so we are at the limit. As soon as he is out you can join either ATOT or ATOT2.

Well, I've cleared out that immediate area around my city. And i'm not strong enough to kill anything in the forests.

So I'm kinda just stuck building and upgrading mines, since you can only recruit a few units every day.

Make sure you build your second recruiting structure ASAP so you can get more troops. I'm trying to get enough resources for a Crypt (zombies) right now.

Tip of the day: Troop Upgrades!

Here's something useful that is not at all obvious. Each faction has upgradeable recruiting structures, for example necros have a graveyard (skeletons) which upgrades to boneyard (skeleton archers). That much is apparent, but what I didn't realize is that once I've done that upgrade, I can go into the recruiting screen and upgrade my existing skeletons to skeleton archers! Put your troops in town (not on a hero) and go into the recruiting screen. Look along the bottom row, and any upgradeable troops will have a little up arrow by the bottom right of their icon.

This is about to help me kill off some nasty infantry in the forest, since I just upgraded 38 skeletons to archers.

 

[Malak]

This game is rather.... slow. Has anyone played this?

I'm not exactly sure when it was created, but this world "The Song of the Dryads" is pretty new. In fact I think the whole game only launched in the US on August 9th. Some beta version was previously available in France, UbiSoft's home country.

I noticed that we were number 2, briefly.

it seems that when the alliance gains 50k points, we get one extra member slot.
