The game is very much in it's early development and there are a lot of awesome features to come. Some areas could be touched up and improved to be made more user friendly or informative but for now, the game modulus and implementation are more important and in my own opinion, much cooler.

The Basics

"You've entered a new world, living in the medieval dark ages of Europe, you must make your way through life, climbing to the top to one day enforce your ideas into the world. Create new friends and become a wealthy diplomat. On the other hand, you may take to the shadows and enforce your ideas another way...espionage and betrayal, manipulation and deception. However, you've only just arrived in this world, how do I achieve anything and what do I need to help me get there...?"

What do I do?

"You're in a new world, do what-ever you want to do! My suggestion is that you create a role for your character and play it accordingly, this will make the game more fun and give you an idea of how to play the game and what profession to go for. eg: A holy monk of the church who opens a bakery to provide food for the children of god."

There is no King in my kingdom, how do I become one?

"That's a good question, it's important that the kingdoms become active as soon as possible. Unfortunately, to avoid abuse, and to some extent a role-play feature, it costs to be crowned king. 1500 coins to be precise. If you can gather that kind of money, and there is a vacant position, go for it!"

I bought a field, and a seed, how do I plant it?

"Well, like in real life, you're going to need some tools - A hoe is required to sow your field."

Okay, where can I get a hoe . . . ?

" Because it's early on in the game, there are very few who produce items, so tools are rare to an extent and expensive too, depending on who you ask. Your kingdom should be able to sell you one, and if now, then you should ask in the international Market thread Here. You may even want to consider becoming a blacksmith to take advantage of this shortage and ever-increasing demand. "

There is no bread on the market, my character is going to die!

"Medieval Europe has taken into consideration this aspect and has put in place a system that allows users to obtain bread and little coin. This can be achieved by working in the prisons or the church. You will receive 1 bread and 5 coins."

What are the Red, Blue and Green bars for in the game?

"The Red bar represents your characters health. The Blue bar represents your characters energy and the Green bar represents your characters hunger. Health can be decreased through starvation, Energy is decreased whenever you perform an action and Hunger decreases through action too, also a little every-day. You can use a Health Ointment to increase health. Rest to increase energy and Eat to increase hunger."

There are no other players in my town, what should I do?

"There is an issue with activity and players being too widely spread at the moment, but as new players come, this won't be a problem. For now, I suggest encouraging some of your friends to play, or perhaps move to a more active city if you're unhappy with that."

I tried to mine/ Chop wood, but it wouldn't let me, why?

"You will need a Pickaxe/Hatchet for these actions, otherwise you will be unable to perform that action. "

I want to go away on holiday, but my character will die !

"You can 'Pray and Meditate' at the church, this is similar to other games "holiday mode" features, this will feed your character for you, it costs 2 coins and will last for the amount of time shown on the page."

My animals keep dying, why is this?

"Your animals need to eat, just like your character. They require hay, the amount of which is displayed on the Wiki. If you fail to feed them, they will die"

How do I milk/slaughter my animals?

"This requires a bucket, to collect milk, and a knife to slaughter it. This will produce milk and meat."

My city doesn't have a resource, this is very unfair!

"The game is very balanced with resources, to encourage interaction between players and kingdoms. Some resources aren't as visible, for example: Breeding advantages, while others are more visible, like Mines and forests."

How do I buy a field/workshop/farm ?

"This can all be done by looking at the options available in the castle menu."

How do I make money?

"Producing goods to sell on the market is the main way of making money. Trading from city to city is another good way to make money. Working in the church/prison is also a way to make money. "

How do I buy new clothes?

"There will be an exciting new dressing system coming later on, this will put the spotlight on the tailor profession which is where clothes are produced. Contact a tailor to buy some clothes."

I bought 100 seeds for my field, why can't I plant them all ?

"This -should- be made more clear, as I made this mistake at first. A field only requires 1 seed, unfortunately your purchase is non-refundable, however, you will have 100 harvests worth of seeds. If you're producing wheat, this means 300 wheat "

I donated something by mistake, how do I get it back?

"Unfortunately, the only option you have is to ask the person for it back and explain that you did it by accident. Most of the players are very kind hearted and welcoming, so I would expect them to reply with open arms. "

What is the "condition" of my equipment?

"This refers to the physical condition it is in currently, 100% being the best condition and 0% being broken. The attributes of the equipment or clothing/armor will deteriorate as the condition falls. The condition will fall through use or wear & tear "

I started creating a hoe, but I pressed "cancel" because I wanted to make a hatchet instead, but my items have gone now!?

"Cancelling any production action will cause your materials to be lost. So think very carefully before you do this. "
