KINGDOM WARS - First Impressions Gameplay - Pt 1: Economy
First Impressions of the
MMO RTS Kingdom Wars, Part 1 of 2,
Economy.
This is not a playthrough or a how to guide, it's me playing the ingame tutorials with some insight of my own, this video covers the two economic tutorials. You might notice significant cuts, this is because the tutorial is very verbose and doesn't know when to shut the hell up.
Brevity has been sacrificed here for the sake of poorly attempted immersion into the time period. Pro tip devs, tutorials are to teach people, using old
English words like 'thy' or 'doth' make playing this tutorial much harder than it had any right to be.
Kingdom Wars is free to play on
Steam:

With Kingdom Wars free to play release our goal was to create a game of skill, not bigger wallets. We have followed player suggestions and tried to avoid the common pay2win traps.

All the other options are limited to one time use, to prevent anyone gaining unfair advantage.

Kingdom Wars features three distinct civilizations:
Elves,
Orcs and

NPC strongholds, quest areas, and the player's homeland.

Complex Economic

The gaming world comes alive as you build and battle during winter or summer months, as you push your armies through heavy rain or snow storms. Your economy significantly changes from summer to winter, when different strategic options are available during different times of day and severe weather makes certain units useless.
