Immortal King reveals more details

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 01:44 PM PDT

NGames’ Immortal Kings has revealed more details about its gameplay, in preview of the closed beta coming in September.

Players will be able to choose between serving Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. Each player will draw heroes to their aide as they gain Prestige, and may also recruit them through special expedition quests. While players will need to manage resources, the only resource in the game is silver; players will not have to worry about collecting other materials like wood or ore. Silver can be earned through taxes, trading, selling crops, mining, and of course quests and salaries.

The game will also offer a Challenge Mode, where players enter “intense skirmishes” and must clear a map of all forces before moving on to the next map.  These modes will let players get large amounts of rewards, including treasure, honor points, and heroes. Players can also join leagues of up to 50 players, who must seize farms and supplies while battling it out with other leagues for control of the map.

NGames also publishes Pocky Ninja.

NGames reveal key “Immortal King” features

More gameplay details released for Greek mythology inspired military RTS

NGames have released more details of the key gameplay features for their anticipated Greek mythology inspired MMORTS, �Immortal King�. Hitting closed beta this September, the game allows you to command massive armies and fight alongside � and even against – infamous Greek gods.

Publisher NGames, known for operating the popular Game321 portal where you can play titles such as Pockie Ninja, Navy Force and Fairy Story Online with a single account, have released more details on the gameplay features for their latest SLG/RPG MMO webgame, Immortal King.

Immortal King plunges you into a world steeped in Greek mythology, challenging you to command a powerful army of troops, become a legendary figure, and even conquer the Gods themselves.

Heroes

Greek mythology is filled with revered heroes � Immortal King is your chance to create your own!

After you have obtained the Golden Fleece and chosen your Faction, deciding whether to fight alongside Zeus (ruler of the skies), Poseidon (ruler of the seas) or Hades (ruler of the underworld) as they battle each other for control of Earth, you need to join forces with your chosen God and train heroes to lead you to victory.

Heroes are attracted to powerful leaders and will flock to join you as your Prestige raises. The higher your prestige ranking, the more powerful heroes you can recruit.

Players can also fight against other forces and obtain heroes through special Expedition quests.

Heroes are the commanding force of your massive armies. You must train and level up your heroes to ensure your army is in good hands, enhancing their core attributes and power to the benefit of your forces.

Construction

As a war strategy game, Immortal King challenges you to oversee and thoroughly plan the construction of your cities.

Unlike other RTS games that expect you to manage 4 or 5 resources at any given time, there is only one resource in IK � Silver. This single-resource system allows you more time to focus on investing your money wisely, instead of worrying about meeting several different criteria to construct a building (who makes a town centre out of hay, anyway!?)

Silver can be obtained via levy, colonization, trade, selling crops, mining, salaries, dailies, and tons of exciting quests.

Wise investment in your Temple, Training Ground, Academy and banking buildings during the early stages of play will pay huge dividends later in the game.

Challenge Mode

An interesting way to play Immortal King, Challenge mode offers a break from the normal gameplay by thrusting you into intense skirmish situations.

Players are presented with a map that they must clear of all opposing forces. Once cleared, you move on to the next areas and continue to clear them of anybody standing in your way. Success in the Challenge modes will reap abundant in-game treasures and the possibility of new heroes to recruit for your armies, making the risk well worth the reward.

What’s more, you can earn massive amounts of Honour points after defeating the challenge areas, which you can spend on increasing your level of technologies and heroes.

Battle Arrays

Immortal King is much more involving than simply sending your troops into battle and waiting for a result.

Instead, IK allows you to organise your troops into 7 different kinds of arrays, which will make up your overall battle formation. Do you form a T-type array? Scatter your troops across a wider area? Perhaps a cross-formation will do the trick?

Immortal King provides you with 137 types of heroes and 72 types of soldier to arrange on the battlefield. Clever placement of the different hero types, such as tanker, attackers and healers, will be essential to victory.

Leagues

Much like a Guild system but with an interesting twist, “Leagues” are one of the most impressive systems to feature in Immortal King.

All players can join a league and each member has a different position depending on their League Contribution. To build a strong League, you must seize farms and supplies from all three of the game’s factions, achieved through either PVP or PVE battle modes.

Each league can accommodate up to 50 members, who will engage in massive intense battles for control of the supplies. To help you on the path to victory, you can check the full attributes and forces of the competing heroes using the latest webgame technology.

Immortal King is releasing soon!

NGames will reveal more game information in the build up to the closed beta launch this September.

Greetings from Face of Mankind!

In this email, we will detail the new services and major enhancements introduced in Face of Mankind, a unique science fiction massively multiplayer online game set in the 24th+ century, as well as the changes that will be released in the next few months. For those of you that do not already know, Face of Mankind is now under a new development team (Nexeon Technologies, Inc.) that is dedicated to delivering a great gaming experience for all users. Face of Mankind's official website (www.faceofmankind.com) and forums (forums.faceofmankind.com) have been given a complete makeover as well.

The noticeable changes already implemented on the current Face of Mankind website are as follows:

Account Portal

We have completely redesigned the account portal. The new portal integrates billing, so you no longer need a separate billing account. Also, the various support sites will be integrated shortly after launch. Our aim is to provide a unified interface for servicing the various aspects of your account.

Website

The existing website will be updated with a new look and added functionality. It will be a one-stop location for new and existing players to get the latest information about Face of Mankind, access their account, learn about the game, download artwork, wallpapers, screenshots, view a beginner’s guide & tutorial videos. Along with this change, we will be standardizing the use of ‘www.faceofmankind.com’ instead of ‘www.fomportal.com’.

Improved Forums

The new forum system allows you to login to the forums with your game account username and password. This means that your account name and player name will be tied to your forum account. All permissions and groups will automatically update, according to your faction, rank, and department in-game.
Some of the new in-game features that have been implemented in the past few weeks are:
•    Implementation of New York City: Brooklyn!
•    Implementation of New York City: Ground Zero!

•    More Frequent Patches and Bug Fixes.
•    More User Control (Faction, Department, Group and Cell Leaders).

•    Account Portal Integration (Forums, Account, Billing, and Support).
•    New players now begin with a starting apartment in NYC – Brooklyn.

•    Implementation and expansion of a game tutorial for new players, so the transition into the game is now a much easier process.
•    Major revision of the Most Wanted system.
•    Implementation of Murder Identification Cards.

•    Implementation of forced roleplay names.
•    Complete revision to the prison system, including working off penalty points while logged off (premium accounts), mining rocks to reduce penalty points faster, and more!
•    Implementation of the "Fugitive" tag that escaped prisoners are now flagged with.

And many more features that you can find here: http://forums.faceofmankind.com/forumdisplay.php?11-Patch-Notes
Some of the upcoming changes you will see in the following days are as follows:
•    Community Newsletters

•    Frequent Development Blog Updates
•    Customizable Apartments (imagine placing your own furniture and other unique items!)
•    Addition of More Colonies
•    A new item store, which will feature new clothing never before seen in Face of Mankind. This will include a full array of shirts, pants, coats, shoes, formal, casual, and retro clothing. Other completely new items will be introduced, too.
•    More User Content
•    A new and improved mission system that features a mission log, mission rewards even if you are arrested by the Law Enforcement Department, and more!
Now that we have given you an idea of the new and improved path Face of Mankind will be taking, we hope that you are as ecstatic as we are about joining in on the fun. We have begun advertising and marketing the game on a large scale and we hope that you and your friends will join us.
As always, thank you for your time and remember that a Dolly Inc clone is available for you if you wish to play. We have plenty of space available in our clone banks, so again, don’t forget to invite your friends!

Overview

Golden Age Overview

Golden Age is a browser based side scrolling RPG-style MMO. Following Molay’s documented outrage at baseless arrests of the Knights Templar in 1307 A.D., Golden Age introduces a fellow knight said to have received a map to a lost continent from Molay himself. At Molay's request, the knight secretly leads 400 Knights Templar to safety in these unknown lands.  Players enter the tumultuous Golden Age setting shortly following the Templars' discovery and colonization of the mysterious treasure-filled region, and must defend their developing fortresses from oncoming waves of greedy plunderers. Players will take their roles in Golden Age as one of three distinct classes of citizens.

  • Knight Templar – Based on fictional members of the real historical Order who fled persecution in France in search of a lost land of gold and treasure.
  • Ibero Alliance – A later group established in the new land on the democratic principles of ancient Greece and Rome.
  • Rhine Commerce Guild – Founded by a traveling merchant and his greedy civilian followers, this class of citizens has real-life roots in medieval Germany.
