Compatibility

Apparently, the less laggy and more compatible web browser for 8realms is Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer have showed many problems showing tasks and graphical glitches. Firefox is Free and can be downloaded HERE.

I've been using these three web browsers and Firefox -IMHO- is at the moment the most reliable option.


Extra TIP: AdBlock Plus is a complement that can be added to Firefox to block all Advertisements in almost any website. After installing Firefox AdBlock Plus can be downloaded and Installed from HERE.

Frugal Army





How is it possible that a small army can defeat a bigger, assorted and technologically advanced army?

This reminds me Age of Empires when a bunch of Pikeman and Foot Archers could easily defeat a big expensive -more advanced- Army containing siege, mounted archers and Paladins.

Notice that there are some important info that can be obtained from this picture:

  • The Players' Army are from a Renaissance Age, The tile was in Feudal
  • The Players' total Army was 6k and the tile was 5k.

Resources


Some resource like wood are only used in 4 ages; however, food and iron are used in all ages-Iron from classical until future. So is a good idea to maximize/prioritize food and iron researches.

Lookout Post, Watchtower and Aerodrome



This structures allow us to improve our defense and to gain more culture, but once the tacks is done, it becomes not so worth. Construction spaces are limited so demolishing it would be a good idea.
