Not to steal Ian’s thunder but I will be talking about the online, text based fantasy/strategy game, Archmage. My housemate plays this game constantly and I have been known to divulge every so often.
The game takes place in the world of Terra and you the role of a very powerful mage in charge of a fledgling state. As a mage you goal will be to become the strongest on the server. Towards this aim you will explore new lands, build larger cities in the form of towns, forts, farms, mana nodes, barracks and so on.
To conquer enemy lands and defend your own you will need an army; you can create an army either by recruiting soldiers with an affinity to your type of mage, or by summoning powerful creatures attuned to the type of magic you wield (a far more powerful option).
To complement all this you will be able to utilize powerful spells; these will allow you to improve your kingdom, hinder enemy troops and help your own, attack your enemy and summon creatures.
If this wasn’t enough, you will be able to employ magic items and powerful heroes to further your goals.
Competition and combat at lower levels is fairly sporadic as everyone is still researching spells and gets more intense as one climbs the ladder. You can also join or create guilds, and this is the best way to be successful in your climb up the ranks. With the help of a guild it will be easier to defend against and attack specific mages.
I encourage you to give it a go; it’s free and quite easy to access. Here is the link to their main site.
