Ages of War is a leader in multiplayer, fantasy war games.In the game, you are part of a kingdom, called a province. You control your province by constructing buildings, building your military, and conquering your enemies with military might, magical powers, and espionage. Your goal is to be the largest in all the lands but other provinces have the same goal. Every hour your province will bring in resources that fund your conquests. Use them wisely and your enemies will be left to grovel at your feet.
Each player chooses a race, which determines your special qualities. You are in control of land, on which you can construct buildings which produce resources for you or give other bonuses. Constructing a building usually takes 8 hours of real time. With resources, you construct more buildings, buy more land and train military units. Training units also takes time and can vary from 6 to 10 hours, depending on your race. Units are very important, as without an army you will not be able to defend your land against your enemies. Aside from training defensive units, you can train offensive units which you can send out to invade an enemy province. If the invasion is succesful, you will claim some of the enemy's land when your armies return from battle. This so called return time depends on your race and other factors.
