Kingdom Age is a web based city-building game currently available on Google+ and the Google Chrome Web Store. Those familiar with the empire-building concept will be used to Kingdom Age’s gameplay, which includes the development of structures, buildings, and other resources in order to expand your territory and increase your levels. What sets Kingdom Age apart from the usual “farming” games is that it allows the player to form alliances with other groups, as well as battle other players online. The game also borrows gameplay from standard role playing titles, as you can go on quests and fight monsters either alone or with friends.
Kingdom Age is the fifth official game released by Funzio, the game developers behind hit games such as Crime City and Modern War. Google is currently the exclusive host of Kingdom Age, taking advantage of Google +’s budding social network growth.

Kingdom Age starts with the player being provided a small piece of land and some resources. The player will then slowly use these resources to build an empire by purchasing different types of buildings. These would periodically generate income and some items which you could then use to further expand your kingdom. The player can also level up by fighting monsters, which would help develop both offensive and defensive skills. They can also build armies that they could use to battle against other similarly leveled players.
A player’s stats define how well their character would perform in-game. Performance with regards to fighting monsters and rivals would increase dramatically if character stats are high. These could be achieved by leveling up your characters as well as buying items, armor, and other equipment that will boost both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Stats are divided mainly by offensive and defensive capabilities. Army attack and strength boosts offensive abilities where you would be able to inflict more damage when fighting monsters or rival kingdoms. Defense stats, in turn, lessen damage inflicted by the player’s enemies.
Stamina, on the other hand, defines the number of times that you can attack your enemies. The higher your stamina is, the more times that you can attack. Energy is the character’s health. When attacking or taking damage, the player will expend energy, and this would be the basis for a character winning or losing battles. Both health and stamina can be replenished using items, but can also be replenished over time.
Stats can be viewed and maintained in the character’s profile page.
Gold and gems are the currencies being used in the game. Gold can be earned by doing a variety of tasks such as fighting monsters, completing quests, looting other kingdoms, and collecting income and taxes from your erected structures. Gems can be purchased using your credit card, and are used to purchase premium items that you can further use to expand your own kingdom and level up your character.
Different types of buildings have different purposes. Some structures help produce more gold while some, such as farms, produce special items and food for your army. Some buildings have the purpose of providing extra defensive capabilities against looting or attacks from rival kingdoms. Some buildings, in turn, help train infantry and help build armies and other resources. Additional structures such as trees, arches, or road signs may also be purchased. They serve no performance enhancements in-game but are purely for aesthetic value. Expansion items may also be purchased in order to increase the land area of your kingdom, where in turn would allow the player to build even more structures to expand their empire.
Some structures require additional items, aside from outright purchase, to build. This would require the player to go to some length, such as complete quests or loot other kingdoms, in order to purchase and build said structures. Buildings and structures would also take time to build, and output from these facilities, including gold and food, are generated at specific time increments and must be collected before it is put to use.
Buildings can be destroyed during attacks. Thus, it is important to set up defensive buildings, as well as production structures, or risk building most from scratch.
Items are used all throughout the game for a variety of purposes. Some items increase offensive and defensive capabilities when equipped, while some items are required in order to build certain structures. Items such as armors and weapons are automatically equipped when going into battle.
Players can acquire items through a variety of ways. They can obtain items through purchase in the store, or they can loot them off monsters or against rival kingdoms. Going to quests can also give players special items that can provide high stat boosts of other capabilities.
From time to time, special items may come up as special promotions. It is thus important to check up on these regularly. However, most special items may require premium purchase or a high amount of gold. Still, having these items in your inventory would be a great boost to your performance.
Armies are the manpower that you will be using when battling against rival kingdoms. Thus, it is important to build a good sized army through the constructing of army training farms and balancing the different types of fighters such as mages, archers, knights, and the like. Different types of fighters have different needs for food and equipment.
Armies would also require stat boosts for offensive and defensive capabilities. They would also need to be equipped with weapons and armor to further increase the chances of winning. Equipment is automatically set to armies when battles are initiated.
Players can level up their characters the more they play the game. By getting enough experience through fighting monsters, doing quests, engaging in battles against rivals, and winning other achievements, players would increase their levels, boosting their character’s different stats as well as unlocking more items and structures for purchase. Players with high levels are also able to defeat monsters and other armies more easily.
When players level up, they may choose which skills to increase based on level up points provided. This can be maintained in the player’s character profile.
Kingdom Age frequently offers promotional discounts and promos that would be available in the store for a limited amount of time. These items provide high boosts to stats, or would simply be collectibles. Thus, it is important to check out these items regularly so that you would not miss out on them.
Rewards are also provided for players who log on for consecutive days. Prizes include gold and other special items that you may use in-game. Rewards may also be provided for achievements made by the player such as the number of battles won or number of structures built. However, this is not yet available as of the current version.
Kingdom Age has a diverse world map that players can explore. Different areas provide different monsters and can provide different items to acquire depending on the location. The game encourages exploration of the map to complete quests as well as to get certain achievements.
Players can go on quests where they are required to clear monsters in certain areas. Completing quests would gain the player huge experience points, as well as a lot of bonus items that can be used to enhance stats as well as other resources that may be used to expand your empire.
Players may ask for the assistance of other players when completing quests and all participants would share the winnings from the mission.
Monsters can be found all throughout the different areas in the map. Fighting monsters require energy, so players have to make sure that they have enough energy as well as acceptable offensive and defensive stats to take down monsters.
Fighting monsters will gain the player experience which is necessary for leveling up. Monsters would also drop gold and special items such as weapons and armor when defeated.
Aside from monsters, players can also battle against the kingdom of other players. They may choose among the list of players with more or less the same level as them. Consequently, other players can attack you, as well.
When attacking, players may choose as to which building in the kingdom they would like to attack. If damaged enough, the structure would be destroyed, and the player can loot either gold or items from it.
During battles, winners are decided based on the army size, army stats, as well as weapons and armors equipped. Winning battles will earn players huge amounts of experience along with bold and bonus items that they can use.
When playing Kingdom Age, it is advisable to build your empire first and boost your stats to acceptable levels before going into fights. Boost stats such as stamina and energy first and acquire good weapons and armor, as these would help you tremendously when entering battles, even if your base strengths and defense are still mediocre.
It is also important to build structures that would regularly provide you with items such as gold or food. Be sure to check up on these regularly as structures would not produce further output unless previous output has already been collected. However, keep in mind balances and excesses for items such as food. Structures such as silos can store food, but if left unused for long periods of time, it will eventually become spoiled.
Balance of resources and timing in collections are vital in order to play Kingdom Age well. Strategize your actions in order to build better armies, gain proper equipment, and optimize all output being produced. Also, when you are already at acceptable levels, make it a priority to go into battle against monsters and other kingdoms to gain even more items that you can use as you progress through the game.
Kingdom Age is a fun and addictive game that simulates the old age medieval lifestyle. Players can live the life of a king as they expand their territories and strengthen their armies, fighting monsters and other rivals. It enhances strategy building and planning skills while providing countless hours of fun and enjoyment. Kingdom Age is a great game to be played solo, but is infinitely more enjoyable to play with other members online.
