Yes, a city can trade only in the province it is in and with the provinces it borders, by building cities in the bordering provinces you can make a trade chain and extend the reach of trading. The 12 city cap is still here, as the game progresses maybe the cap will be raised, but right now its a must for three reasons: - So that Veteran players dont get a too big advantage, imagine someone with 50+ cities  - To promote Alliance gameplay, and work together towards world domination. - It can get tiresome to manage too many cities. | ||

Don't really understand the specifics. How far away can they be to trade? Like 10 land tiles away from the city? Does upgrading market only allow for higher quantities of trade between cities? | ||

Not land tiles (land tiles are the hexagonal tiles that can contain a city or an army), its provinces (quadrants, sectors, howewer you want to call them ). That means you can trade in your province (the entire map that fills your browser screen) and in the provinces bordering it. When you look at the World Map provinces are the big squares. | ||

What does an experienced general do? Are there any bonuses with it? Also, can you combine two of your armies in the fields to make 1 big army? Or do you have to go back to a city and combine. Does trade bonus means that you get better deals in the local market? Like you can buy/sell at a better price than someone with lower trade bonus? | ||

An experienced general give an advantage during battle (it is calculated along with other advantages like army morale). Armies can be combines in the field using the "Transfer units or resources to (commander name)" link, this can only be done if the two armies are near each other. The Trade bonus is used to balance all other bonuses as it is added to them (Woodcutting, Stoneworking etc..), tiles near the sea have a bigger trade bonus to compensate for the fact that they dont have any other bonuses (other than the Fishing bonus). | ||

Edit: Also, when does the next line of defense fights in melee? Is it when a group of unit dies and a hole opens up, then the units next in line goes in the front? Or is it only when the entire front line is wiped out? | ||

Edit: Also, when does the next line of defense fights in melee? Is it when a group of unit dies and a hole opens up, then the units next in line goes in the front? Or is it only when the entire front line is wiped out? The move cooldown is equal to the slowest unit in the army/fleet. This opens interesting strategies with fast armies consisting only of cavalry that can outrun normal armies. A group of units that is placed in the formation second line will go to the frontline as soon as the group of units in front of it dies. | ||

Does siege units do splash damage, that is hit more than one group at a time? Also how is damage calculated in here? Does each unit have its own health or do they have a pool of health? I'm guessing it's the latter, as otherwise those 17k dragons can only kill 1 at a time >.< | ||

As for the damage its a little bit complicated, units fight in groups up to 100 units and the resulting casualties are calculated using many criterias (Attack, Defense, Morale, Special abilities). The Combat Mechanics section of the guide explain it in a more detailed manner. http://www.arcadiaonline.org/guide.php?loc=combat2#guidetitle Also no splash damage for siege, their main role is to destroy walls. | ||

Or will you be dragged no matter what into world scale conflict ? You can create a strong kingdom by simply expanding peacefully, however there is no guarantee that another player wont try to take what you have accomplished with force and you'll be forced to defend yourself. BTW war has broken out between two of the top alliances in the realm, Troll and Equestria, expect some battle reports to give you an idea what combat is like in the game. | ||

IGN is TribaL The nice thing about games like this is that the best way to play them is to log in a few times a day (but a normal play session duration is a few minutes), so you can sneak and play during work/school Things get more intense during wars. Anybody remembers playing Ogame and setting your alarm clock to wake you up during the night for a sneak attack? Well I do However in Arcadia Online sneak attacks while someone sleeps aren't as efficient as in other games, since the siege timer makes it impossible to blitzkrieg a city. But sneaking in an army on their island while they sleep so they cannot intercept you with their fleet is an efficient way to avoid a naval battle, I just did that :D (while my alliance mate got his entire fleet destroyed because he tried to land yesterday.) | ||
