[Ben Adams]

Hi

I'd like to share some information about Illyriad which launched in February 2010

Description:
Illyriad is a free-to-play, real-time, persistent browser-based Massively-Multiplayer fantasy strategy game.

The Kingdom of Illyriad is an exciting world of opportunities and challenges where you build your empire from scratch in the manner of your own choosing.

It features a large persistent interactive world with countries, NPC factions and geographical environments.

Build cities and units, trade ruthlessly, research new technologies, undertake quests, build armies, gather intelligence, sabotage your opponents, cast magic spells over great distances, form or break alliances and declare war on your enemies before crushing them mercilessly!

Expand your civilization by conquering cities, sending settlers to colonize new lands or claim soverignty to expand your influnce with knowledge, bribes or force!


The strategy you choose is up to you!
