More Exciting and More Adventuresome New Realm of Empires

It’s been almost 2 months since I last started playing The Realm of Empires and I must say that this game is getting really more exciting and more adventuresome game for me. It was so complicated and abstract for me at first, well it always happens when it is your first time to play the game, but now that I am getting more and more familiar with the Realm of Empires I get to appreciate it more and more as well. This Facebook application is really one of the best among the applications I have ever played there.

The best part in this game Realm of Empires is that you will never feel alone and lonely in playing this because you will have to join the clan to win over the other villages and empires. And by meeting new clan members you will slowly build good camaraderie and while building your own village as well.

You will never get tired of playing the Realm of Empires because if you meet some obstacles in the middle of your journey all you just have to do is message any clan members for help and immediately you will be showered with so much help; and when I say shower, it is really a shower of help from your nice and friendly clan members.

During the first few times that you will visit your village of course it starts as if it was nothing in the middle of the land but as you upgrade your level you will get to see the beauty of your empire as it progresses. The best part here is that you will get to have your own troops to fight for you.

It is a common thing to conquer the other village or attack any enemies but you will never have to worry about it because you will be protected not only by your troops but your clan members as well. Realm of Empires is truly a well recommended game for anyone. You don’t have to be a game master to play this. You have the clan members ready to fight for you and fight with you. This kind of support group is the best among the other games I have ever played.

And now that there is the New Realm of Empires which was done by the creator of the game to be more exciting and more adventuresome game, I can never ask for more. It has great graphics and more interesting challenges to face.

Realm of Empires and its Unique Purpose of Building a Prosperous Village

Realm of Empires is the famous application in Facebook. It is a kind of medieval game that you need to build villages and conquer other villages for you to have the highest empire.

Realm of Empires forms a village composed of different buildings. Each building has its own unique function. Through upgrading these buildings and constructing a new one, the village will grow and prosper. There is a building in the Realm of Empires which is called the headquarters. It is where the player commands the workers to construct different buildings. This is also the place where all the work is done – from upgrading the buildings such as silver mine, farm land, barracks, stable, siege workshop, tavern, trading post, palace, wall, defensive towers, treasury and the headquarters itself.

Silver mine produces a supply of silver and the player’s primary source of wealth. Treasury is the storage of the silver produced which has a storage limit, so it is better for the player to spend the silver wisely before the production is full or else it will halt. The barracks at the Realm of Empires is where the player is allowed foot soldiers to be trained. It is also where the recruitment if soldiers is done.

Upgrading the barracks by the player, there will be efficiency in training troops and attraction in recruitment. To minimize the time consumed in the process of building an army, the idea of upgrading the stable to a higher level by the player is good.

Realm of Empires has also a siege workshop, siege engines are constructed here. Siege equipment is needed to destroy the enemy of fortress defenses. A fortress that is well defended is very bloody and difficult task for an army to storm out without the siege equipment’s help.

By upgrading the siege workshop, efficiency and construction of the machine by the engineers makes the production quicker. Tavern, another place in the Realm of Empires, is where many interesting characters gather those that chose not to be seen whom you want to be recruited at your spy network.

That’s why tavern allows the player to recruit spies. Spies are able to know the details from other villages and they prove a valuable asset to your war machine. They are an asset to the player’s war machine. Making tavern into a higher level attracts and enables the player to recruit more spies faster.

A farm land in the Realm of Empires is where the food is produced. The food that came from the farm land allows the player to provide food for the workers that maintains and continually work to upgrade your buildings in the village as well as the recruited troops. A certain number of workers are required to do the job and maintain every building that is being built. The more workers are needed the higher the level of the building it will become.

The workers and the troops are fed with food produced by the farm. If the farm land’s level is high, the more foods are able to produce. And by a higher upgrade of farm land the better chance of the player to recruit more troops to work for him to protect him against the enemies.

Realm of Empires has a trading post that allows silver to be transported between villages. Silver can be transported by your own village, and it can also be sent to the other village of your co-clan members or allies. Palace is the best place where the guests are entertained. This is the perfect place for aristocrats to join your ally, and attract them to perform the role of the governor to join your realm. Governors are the ones who persuade the enemy’s village to join our kingdom, then stay and govern the new village.

In the Realm of Empires, the walls function as the protection of the village from attacks, the walls do the defensive and help the troops to defend their village. There is also what we call the defensive towers and the gate house tower that helps the troops in defending their village but these towers are easily destroyed by a Trebuchet.

Treasury in the Realm of Empires is where the silver coins are stored. The treasury has storage limit. When the storage limit is reached, the silver mine will stop producing. So it is better to upgrade the treasury to be able to store large amount of silver coins.
