Has anyone here played Ironfell?



Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxcq_eiuSU8

Ironfell is a time travel themed massive multi-player online real time strategy (MMORTS) game.

You begin with a single Explorer, thrown back in time to a safe green valley surrounded by mountains. You collect resources, build technology, and create armies to conquer new lands… or simply meander around, planting flowers in picturesque mountain valleys.

The game is set in a 2D hexagon tiled universe, divided into separate realms. Each realm can be a mountain valley, a large island or even an whole ocean with many new types of realm planned for the future. This structure allows all players to be in the same universe (no shards), but for the game to be scalable, with realms hosted on separate server instances.

There are currently 64 units and buildings (Archers, Farmers, Knights, etc) in Ironfell, loosely drawn from the high middle ages period. I’ve just added a pirate ship expansion with huge oceans to explore. The next expansion will include Dinosaurs and Time Machines. Eventually there will be space stations and travel the stars. What you can play now is just the beginning.

Ironfell is completely self funded and DataSmugglers is not looking for additional investment. Ideally it will earn enough to pay David’s rent and for an occasional lunch at the pub. The exact business model is yet to be decided, but you can read David’s thoughts on “free to play” and other income options here.

Ironfell is now live and you can try it for yourself right now:

I happened to stumble upon a launch announcement of Ironfell today, and from what I've seen it looks like something that some of us here on the Bay12 forums would like to play together. Has anyone messed around with it or have any knowledge of it?




Maybe we can get a B12 alliance up and running in a realm or two?

Giving it a shot I'm Alkhemia in game 

[Shadowlord]

Giving it a try too (as Trafalgar).

[Absolute Niro]

It looks cool, albeit I found the movement a bit unresponsive. Took a second for my little men to start walkin'. Might play more when I get home.

[DrPoo]

Giving it a spin later.

[Dariush]

Playing as Dariush. Or rather not. Nevermind. I hoped for a good MMORTS and this turned out to be yet another shitty browser pay2win.

[inteuniso]

Looks interesting. Like the fact that it's on android as well.

[Alkhemia]

Hmm just got myself  2 more iron mines using a Risky Tunnel, building up my difense in there right now.

I should've looked a bit harder before posting that other thread

I just broke into one of the ponywalled woodlots on the Mauve Isle of the Crystal Candlestick, and (until the owner notices, if the owner still plays) imprisoned the woodcutter inside with ponies while inserting my own woodcutters:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Explanation, if necessary: I'm the dark-blue-with-a-hint-of-purple color. I came through the northmost square white tunnel, enclosed by the black ponies on this side, and my units appeared outside those ponies (not standing on any tunnels or other units). My ponies encircled those until eventually I was able to get ponies and woodcutters to exit the tunnel and arrive inside the ponywalled woodlot.

I just created an account, this could be interesting.

[Aklyon]

Well, I risked quite a bit of resource, but no one seems to have found my risky tunnel yet.
I'd been content to just make conquests instead but then chat started talking about how if people only made conquests we would run out of riskies to conquest for in the first place eventually.
