The other 2 spells are from a different school - you'd need to train your hero in the corresponding career to get access to those. For example, the Necropolis faction gets access to dark and summoning spells, but since my mage hero is only trained as a Dark Mage he can only use the ones from that school.

no, they are all light spells. Check the link.

interesting, just gained 2 levels (to 6) after finishing a battle. even more interesting, looks like i got some magic armor out of it and a comment about receiving recruits due to the battle.

I'm down to 4 squares with enemies in my 1st town. I think I've found a couple of local inactive towns to siege/take over once my newbie protection is lifted. I really just need to get my gold production pumping. Only making about 14k/day now.

All the discussion that was happening here is rapidly migrating to our MMHK forum; please see post 401 in this thread for details on how to join. Battle plans and other alliance matters are already being discussed there.

Also, there are currently less than 4 days remaining of newb protection. In this coming time we will be doing a final reorganization of the playing field for those who have decided they want to play and those who have decided they do not want to.

Please, if you want to play, PM me or Pheran here and ask to be included. Me and Pheran will (hopefully) have some discussion about what we are going to do about all this, and whether or not to still consider opening an ATOT3.

If you guys have been playing the game and still want in, now is definitely the time to let one of us know :)

I have found that patience is a virtue in this game. Don't go into battles unless you can win them with low casualties, even if that means sacrificing honor. This is especially the case at the beginning where you will have units gifted, won, or from heroes that you cannot easily replace (e.g. Griffins for humans, ghosts and vamps for necros, etc). You should guard those carefully and try to only use them in cases where you will not lose any, such as overrunning the last stack.

Shoot for the level 2 recruiting buildings and you can upgrade your existing level 1 unites by hitting the upgrade button on the recruit screen for that unit. For necros, skeletons upgrade to skeleton archers, which is really really useful. Better yet, it's free. Once you get zombies, convert all your skeletons to archers and you should have quite a force of shooters.

Since the pace is so slow, I haven't yet found a reason to take anything but the maximum amount of time to construct a building or a mine. It takes longer, sure, but you've got time to kill. The savings in gold and resources is great, though. At max time, a building only costs 80% of the normal gold. You'll find that you will be out of gold most of the time anyhow, so anything you can do to conserve it is worth the time.

none of my level 2 unit upgrades are free, but they are "cheap" I'm mages, so perhaps your free upgrades are a necro benefit?

say i have a stack of 50 lvl 1 gremlins. upgrading them to master gremlins (lvl 2) is ~2.5k. that's not bad, really, when each master gremlin is 226 gold. maybe it's a wee bit more to upgrade, but I did turn a stack of ~40 stone golems into 40 obsidian golems for 4k. again...cheap, but i'm always running paycheck to paycheck. that really slows me down on mine upgrades in the like, considering how often I log in, and what I can spend on each upgrade

i push my buildings to the longest build time. it takes 1.2 days now, for level 2 tower and such...but that's may play time anyway. :\

if you go to the stats window, look at the top where it shows your ranking in each category. your ranking (in each category) is based on a total number of points (for that category), and each level in that ranking has a point threshold. once you pass that, you get the next level, and a gift.

that level threshold is posted at the top of each category as well as the reward for getting that total number. the alliance just passed it's own alliance ranking total (ATOT, at least), and so every one gets an attack bonus, of some sort.

Yeah I saw that about the ranking think later after posting. So you know what point level you need to advance, you just have no idea of what gives you points though. :)


I'm selecting longest time for buildings and mines, but not because of a desire to not have it done sooner rather because it somewhat reduces the gold cost. And at the present I'm still spending the gold as fast as it comes in. Another day'ish and I'll have all my mines improved to level five and can then collect that quest bonus, but after that mine cost are crazy. Of course I'm starting to get the ability to construct some of the more advanced buildings and they also are starting to get to crazy resource requirements.

What realm are you all on? I started on The Gremlin Uprising using the OPs link, but don't see any ATOT alliance.

That's not the one we're on. It's called something like song of the driads.

Right - dare we join the other as well? :) I think I'd do much better the second time!

I know I'd do far better with a restart.

ATOT2 is also VERY spread out right now (laced all around ATOT); we might look at a reorganization anyway.

The Gremlin realm seems pretty young. I started friday afternoon and by today I'm ranked #198 in domination, #94 in wealth, and #82 in honor.

Guys, I think there has been a slight amount of confusion resulting from this post - if you are already in an alliance, you don't need to PM me (unless you are registering for the forum). I think TCR was just looking for folks who haven't gotten an alliance slot yet.

You guys are welcome to play on the Gremlin server (in fact I will create another MMHK forum area for you if you like), but I'm not starting over now. We haven't even gotten to real combat yet; there's a whole lot more to learn about the game before I'd want to start over, and regardless, the season "reset" after the War of Tears will eventually start us over in some fashion, assuming we are still playing then.

I'm fine with either one; if we restart we should do as a group though, so we end up close together. I'm also fine staying put.

I say stick out Season1 as a learning experience and then we can rape everyone season 2
