(too long so multi posts, sorry) i've been playing off and on since realm 4 and over the years developers monetized and changed the user interface to the new which glitches occassionally and crashing for a day at a time. also having removed old ui features which caused an uproar.
i logged on again three days ago and joined two realms. i'll describe here why i'll be telling you not to bother.

the ai's are taking over, farming the rebels (for growth) of their entire 22 square troops range. before they were fixed a single 16 point ai could stack past their food limit and players were teaming up to wipe it for the govs.
the game crashed the day i logged on. it was weird because if you were logged it didn't affect you but those who tried logging externally were given an error as their vills were attacked unattended.

the game has always been part sim with the fun being after you gain more villages and a clan. the war of the war game takes varying times depending on the speed of the realm. the new non noob one i'm in will take me maybe 1-2 weeks before having the confidence to smash out and play.
the sand background of one realm caused me eyestrain. chatting about how development is for greg to pay his mortgage and that the game isn't updated since 2012, which matches my experience because that's about when it began going downhill. the changes caused a surge of new players which parabolically dropped as most didn't enjoy. and those who stay do so for the uniqueness of the game and nostallgia purposes.

in its time the realm could last year+ and the gambit of rleated gameplay was fully fleshed out. nobody joining today will know the visceral feeling of merging two top-rated and warring clans together like we did with the holy roman empire in r4.
global chat has slowed down which is an improvement to the flame wars of vets tormenting each other. i'll try to continue into the vet realm for a while longer but the game has stopped developing and its owner is checked out (and refusing to sell to interested loyalists)
...don't bother. i'm sorry but only nostalgia can keep your interest at this point.

I already have the badges from 2016. But now I can't use my name? Eh, no big loss. I think it was one of those shitty ptw games.

Um... Why is Mathematics II under religion and "divine right" under Mathematics? Isn't that kind of the opposite of where they should be?

I am having a problem loging into realms via facebook and tactia and kongregate keeps saying my email is already used. What should I do now.

Game is very well worked out for the most part, but does have a couple of significant flaws, IMO. Firstly, joining a guild is a far more convoluted process than it needs to be. It should be 'apply to guild, get accepted or rejected,' as with most other games. It would also be really useful if there was some kind of in-game tooltip to remind players what all those spells do. My troop movement quibble has its own post, so I won't repeat that, here. Overall, a good game and well worth playing, though definitely looks to be a long term commitment. Kong need to fix the badges, too, but that's on them, not the game.

There needs to be a way to move troops between your own villages so that they do not count as guests. This is especially true of Governors, who are needed to capture new villages. The ability to move your Governors to villages closer to the enemy to decrease attack times is clearly important, yet guest troops cannot be used in attack, even if they are your own. Given the very long travel times, this is clearly far from ideal.

ah nvm... the timing was trollolo... when I was attacking right I had buff... while I was scrolling left the buff run out lol

is it me or troops can't go left? o-O rebels 10 squares left and 5 down from me -> 41min to attack them... rebels 20 squares (almost at the limit) to the right and down and its 7min (light cavalry both cases) are they circling around right side to go left or something ;D?

Nevermind, something broken with this game as I had to refresh and not arrive at a window where I cannot do anything let alone play the game

How do you set you global player name? The in-game chat won't let me ask questions for game play until I set it. Also where do I view player power?

so, as my village is created, there are immediately rebels who hate me, meaning I have some kind of political ideology that is so bad that some people don't even hesitate to try to kill me. Then, I conscript militia to fight for me (probably unwillingly because that's how conscription works), to fight those rebels. I boost the power of my militia with an ability called "blood lust" and completely eradicate the entire rebel army, and the village that they resided in. Then, I improve my resource production, and make sure that I don't distribute my wealth to my own citizens? There is no debate, we are the baddies.

Played a bit, then everything stopped working (kept getting loading panel), so I reloaded the page and all my progress is gone. Amazing!

i made it to level 4 and the easy badge is still not achieved. are the badges broken on this game or i need to do something else to make it work?

they should add Balistas. explain th stat variets for militia being anti spy, infantry being good defence, optimized at X nnumbers vs X number etc, militia X numbers vs Trebuchets with X number of knights, etc.
also... could use Moral boosts, and a clergy*

Remember spending some time with this one. It was enjoyable and well put together. Thank you.
P.S. I suppose all our original Kingdoms are crushed and obliterated from all existence; sadness fills some heart, they were good and worthy men and women. I hope the KFC has found a way to use our horses at least.

Hello,
Thank you for the update. Chat is accessible when playing full screen. Let us know if we can be of further help.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)

i just joined and can't chat with anyone. the realm is over a week old and my neighbors are bigger than me. maybe a good idea but a crappy follow through. doubt i'm staying after first impressions.

It's help if the devs gave a way of transporting troops from village to village without them being support units just dayin...
