Pretty nice game for those who liked Heroes of Might and Magic III. It's a resource management fantasy strategy-RPG with a turn based combat system.
Here's a game play vid:
For you who hasn't played HoMam: You start with a castle and a hero and a few units under the command of your hero. Then you level your hero, upgrade your castle buildings to get more advanced units and spells for your hero, and eventually you get more castles and heroes. And since this is an MMO, you can wage wars and attack other peoples castles/mines to steal their resources.
It's pretty easy to learn, even if you haven't played Heroes of Might and Magic. I can recommend the exellent wiki and newbieguide at wikia:
There are several servers to play on, I play it on the Pandora server via kongregate. It's the most recently added server and it's not full of lvl100 guys yet.
If you like the game and plan to play it actively, you could apply to my guild splendour when you have build en embassy. Beeing in a guild has several advantages, the biggest one is that you can level up your hero the first 20-30 levels pretty fast via Guild Build. You also get help/tips pretty fast via the guild chat and backup if you're getting attacked.
If you have any questions about the game you can ask in this thread or send a PM to me on the Pandora server. My account name is VoirDire.
Gonna start when I get back from work today, i'm debating human or necro, what race do you suggest? (I've played HOMM before, so those were the races I enjoyed)
Necro is called undead in this game. But races don't differ that much to be honest,
Humans have earlier ranged units (Tier 3), so they will be a little better at aquiring resources without any unit losses in the beginning. Undeads first ranged unit is tier 6, but that's also the best tier 6 unit.
Undead have great castellian spell that makes you train units faster. Every player want's an undead or orc castle eventually to get a faster unit training spell.
Human have the best tier 10 units for late game PVP and arena fights.
did yuo know heroes of might and magic online was being tested ATM ?
i'd say that the game is less strategic (castle building and assessment) than heroes of gaia or any older HoMM but the battle system is definately more intuitive just from a glance of things

which server are you on?
I'm soon 80k fame and ready to get a 3rd castle.
I'm on Pandora, just hit 14k fame, and I'm thinking of conquering a castle. Unfortunately, the guild I'm in is under attack by Rampage (yet they haven't actually attacked yet...) =)
