So it is exactly like Ebony except you can lose your property pernamently?

[revo]

it really is nothing like Evony. you control your own chracters in this game. You only control the cities in Evony. This game is also much more focused on roleplaying. You have to act like a medieval knight/duke would

[Brotato]

Very different feel from those other browser games.  A lot better and a lot more complex.  Also without gimmicks to make you buy something so you can make building X go by quicker.

@Ank,
That's true.  but we'll have a lot more land once we're done with Silverfire War.

Well... I think unlike Ebony...
1. Static # of settlements in the world. 
2. Pyramid-like vassalage of other players/characters.  (Emulating Medieval nobility stuff of Knight -> Baron -> Count -> Duke -> King.)
3. Resources created by settlements and stuff are limited, there is no magic 'I make more stuff out of nowhere.'  Everything has to come from somewhere, like, if you want Settlement A to grow bigger, it needs to be given(or take) stuff from Settlement B.  Enriching one at the detriment of another.
4. Character based, with heavy-ish slant on RP. (At least that is the whole intent by the creator, he is the one that did Battlemaster.)

Eh, probably more differences, but this stuff stands out I guess.

[Neonivek]

I guess my next question answers everything I need to know

Do you have to eat and sleep?

[Zangi]

No, you won't need to click on 'sleep/eat' buttons.

It is assumed that you eat like a fat noble while the peasants starve/die/leave... and the soldiers merely starve.(It may change by the time we hit stable.)
It is also assumed that you slept during the day/turn. (Non-factor)

[Gervassen]

Soldiers do die after enough time starving. I've buried them myself.

[PanH]

It's more about management than control of a character. Basically, you're a family (or not) of noble, which control settlements, soldiers, etc. You can read the "About" on the site, it explains a bit.

Even as militia ?

Indeed that was my question in disguise. A game that tried to make you feel like a person of that time period would have a lot of focus on the little things.

[Gervassen]

Even as militia ?

Yeah. But don't worry too much, that dead militiaman is propped up like El Cid, and will still keep the village safe from being claimed easily. It'll be useless in defending against an actual attack, though. Naturally, because it isn't really as badass as the Cid.

[PanH]

Oh, you're right, I checked, most of my militias are dead in exporting villages.

[Gervassen]

And no need to bury the body. It still protects.

Say, do you think that is a bug? Do we need to report it?

[PanH]

I think, but the issue is that 50% of the time, a village will be starving, because they're building, new soldiers, exporting, balancing the pop/food, etc. Soldiers/militia should have priority feeding over peasants.

[Brotato]

There really, really should be a way to keep soldiers alive.  Especially those on the move.
