The stone masons and wood cutters turn up today over some silly dispute. she also keeps asking me to give her money… it’s quite a pain in the ass. She keeps asking me to make upgrades to my castle and town, as it does not fit her “standards”. The princess is anything but happy that I rescued her. I think I will assemble my army at once and set out to win her heart. Finally, a fine lady to help me rule over my simpletons. I was told of a quest to rescue a princess by my trusty advisor. I hope my new, big, strong friends will protect me, especially as I am new and my town is but a child. Thinking about it now, I should probably check my own defences to make sure they’re sturdy. Knowing what the enemy has will allow me disperse my soldiers in a more strategic manner. This is a good thing, because a castle can be attacked from the front and two sides. This will allow me to plan future attacks more effectively. They tell me they can spy on neighbouring castles. Some strange characters have turned up at my tavern. My enemy never saw it coming! My soldiers returned with some decent loot which I used to build a brand new tavern for the townsfolk to meet up after a hard day of work. Maybe I’ll find some friends out there? In the meantime, I thought I’d raid a nearby castle for the fun of it. I’ve also ventured out into the big, bad world. You know what enemies hate? A spear to the face… I’d like to see them try anything now! I trained some spearman to protect my people. My advisor tells me my town has grown to the point where it is in need of defence, so I built a barracks. Hey, taxes are taxes, and the royal coffers need filling… permanently. He promises to rattle my citizens of their gold. I also got asked to register my account officially and you know what? I got a whopping 300 rubies just for doing that! I was feeling particularly happy, so I built the townsfolk some brand new houses with my newfound riches.Ī tax collector also showed up. It disappeared after emptied, but reappeared a few hours later with even more cool things! I wonder if this is some sort of daily bonus for my hard work? Upon arriving at work today, I saw a treasure chest that had some neat loot inside. People turned up and needed a place to stay, so I built some dwellings too. I started out simple – building a few farms, woodcutters, and stone quarries to get my finances flowing. Holy smoke I’m running a town now!!! It’s a lot of pressure and responsibility, but I think I can handle it. I took to my diary to document my experience… After you’ve levelled up a little though, things get a little ridiculous. Actions take a few short seconds and everything costs only a fistful of gold, food, or stone. The game starts out alright, opting you to get your town up and running. Unfortunately, my time with Goodgame Empire hasn’t swayed my decision one bit. I’ve since moved on with my life, deciding that such titles were not worth my time because in the end, building something for example, takes far too much grinding or time. Simpsons Tapped Out for example, kept me distracted me through countless study sessions and exam periods back when I was in varsity. I’ve had my fair share of experience with titles in this genre. On paper it sounds alright, but the free-to-play nature really ruins the game in the end. You can construct buildings, produce resources, research improvements, and even set out to destroy, or ally with those around you. Goodgame Empire is a free-to-play (and pay-to-win), browser-based title all about establishing a perfect kingdom. All of the above is possible in Goodgame Empire – provided you have lots of time to spare… or a particularly fat credit card. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to be a king/queen of a bustling kingdom? Have you thought about keeping your townsfolk happy, or imagined the admin of dealing with daily riots? Perhaps you’ve pondered conquering your neighbours and beyond, plundering the land and cementing your name as one that should be directly associated with fear.
