Forge of empires: Resources

Hail to all Kings and Queens,

I hope all of your empires are flourishing and becoming stronger day by day. My empire is a slow and peaceful with only few huts till now. For any empire to flourish resource are required.
So I though of putting all kind of helpful resources for all of us in one place.
So the biggest place is home site itself
http://en.forgeofempires.com/
You can browse through the page and get a feel of the game and its features. Again admire graphics.

Next is the blog of the game itself. Its always up to date and you get to know a lot of upcoming features and help in the game.
http://blog.forgeofempires.com/
There are multiple categories under which the posts are made like new feature, general, game etc.

Once you are in the game you can find the biggest help link in the left bottom corner of the screen. Its "FORUM" link. The direct link is http://forum.en.forgeofempires.com/forum.php

There is lot of content present in forums which you can go through but to understand the game .
I would recommend this thread to understand the basics fully
http://forum.en.forgeofempires.com/showthread.php?1551-Draft-Guide-for-beginners

If you cant go through the whole thread no worries but keep playing and you will start learning yourself.
Let me know if there are more relevant resources in comments and I will update the posts
Keep enjoying and playing

First day at work!!

So after a day of admiration of the graphics I started playing. I think its very very slow start but the its a start.
As soon as we start the game we are greeted with gritty looking face "Ragu"


Straightaway he has a task for you. A regular one, build houses for the people to stay and enjoy in your city.
It's a very easy tutorial and doesnt allow you much to do anything of your own. So build a house from the build menu and then get rewarded.

You cant help to notice that there is going to be crunch space in this game. I built my first house and then started thinking what are the penalties if you have to move your structures around. But as of now I have learnt there isn't much of a penalty.

Next one is build a hunter and two roads. There is some inverted question mark hanging on my houses but nothing happens. I will go ahead with further constructions and you go ahead with yours. We will meet when we have some constructions finished

My hunter is ready and sleeping dont let urs one sleeping


Dont forget to leave your experience of the game.

Begin: Forge of Empires

There has always been tickle inside to look for empire building and strategy games. This led me to tumble on Forge of Empires. Thanks all to google chrome web store. I am inside Forge of Empires.














I have burnt my hands with lots of browser based games earlier and literally burnt time(AoE online, Tribal wars etc.). So first step to start this game was to read the reviews. I went through  the comments on chrome and they looked very promising. If it would have been the same where you should have a following and friends group. But nothing here till now.

Enough of it. Lets begin. As I went through trailer I could clearly notice the quality graphics and the efforts put up by the developers and I couldn't resist installing it. It reminded me of my Ceasar days. Here is the trailer


Begin the game is easy, create a username and there you go. First time it takes some time to load but there onwards the game is running fine. I am still admiring its graphics. Tutorial and game beginning is staraight forward for a Age of Empires kind of guy.
Untill next time let me admire the graphics and I will update soon.
Keep reading
