Missed TribalWars? Want to try Artifact?

I missed the TribalWars boat by a longshot, but I remember this game called Artifact that was inherently similar but a bit more faster paced. Its not played in your browser, they have their own client, but its a non-graphical intensive game -- but its a bit more graphically involved than TribalWars.

Anyway, its essentially the same thing as tribalwars except there are also things called Artifacts that are hidden randomly around the world that if you find, you get a big power boost in certain areas.

The games also don't last as long, and as mentioned, are faster paced. There are also a lot more of them, so we can just pick which one we want to join.

I haven't played for years, but TribalWars brought back fond memories.

So, if you missed the boat there, feel free to reply and join up here. We can hop into a newbies game to get the feel for it.

Oh, and you get to pick where you want your city to go -- so we can build an impenetrable FTR community

Cool. I'll be joining later on today.

Although I'd like you to know that for the rest of hte month, I'll be in HK, on the other side of the world.

So I can "guard your back" during your nighttime without a problem. :)

Do likewise, please? Thanks.

Is the general newbie build. We're starting with a LOT more citizens than that one is, so adjust accordingly (they started with 3k, we starting with 50k)

also, be sure to get in touch with me before starting your settler into a city... get in the FTR group first so we can make sure youre somewhat near us and we'll own an entire region

Hmm...now how am I gonna hide a game on my work computer....:D

I have to say this game appeals to me more than Tribal Wars. When the Tribal Wars threads came up, I told myself I was going to avoid it because I get way too addicted to these type of games for my own good. But I don't know if I can resist another game like this. I'll probably end up joining this game either later today or tomorrow.

Euph couldn't take the limit grind anymore so he gave it up and is now being paid by enemy tribes to divert as many FTR tribe members to a new game. I'M ON TO YOUR GAME, YOU SWINE!!!!!

I dont like playing games where I start with an inherent disadvantage.

Yea but new players are constantly joining so you have the advantage over them =) I still haven't decided if TW is fun yet, but it seems to get more enjoyable as you grow.

P.S. I know I said I would join this game, but upon further thought I decided it's in my best interest to continue to avoid games like this, because they really do take up too much of my time without as valuable of a reward as my other addictions (e.g. poker). Sorry.

Duded, the game takes 5 minutes every 8+ hours. It's easier than running a fantasy football team.

the only problem with TW is when you wake up at 5am to take a piss, you log on to tribal wars and spend 30 mins and cant get back to sleep.

I spend 5 minutes after my 5am piss and go back to sleep. You're just slow.

That's like telling an alcoholic, "Dude, it's just a beer." Actually, no, that's a terrible analogy. It's not really like that at all.

Its probably more that I'm just slow like 'rilla.

pffft u cant beat TW, we've been #1 for a couple days now. Things are heating up, some of us are almost ready to start taking over other villages.

And yes, if you were to start now, you would have noob protection until you got up n running.

eupho, it's pretty fun when small tribes try to get into pissing contests and then every member of ftr sends an attack on them.
