How to Make Money in Entropia Universe

Entropia Universe is a massively multiplayer game that takes place on the planet Calypso. There are several ways a player can make money or PED (Project Entropia Dollars) in this online game.
Sweating Creatures
Sweating creatures is perhaps one of the more bizarre ways I have seen to make money in a game. Unless you deposit money into this game it is the only way for a new player to make any PED in the game. Sweating is a slow process so at the beginning you need to be patient. You may die multiple times to creatures since you are low level. Stay in the starting city or go to the sweat camp. Ask a player where it is and they will show you. Most new players end up there. You can sweat the creatures with many players and lessen the chance of getting killed by a creature. If you try sweating alone you will get frustrated because your character will keep dying. Sweating is very easy just point at a creature and hit the sweating button. Your character will go into a trance and you can sweat after a few seconds. If a creature hits you during this time you will need to start the process over again. Keep sweating until you have several hundred or thousand vials of sweat. You can sell this sweat to players for PED and be sure to shop around for the best deal for your efforts. You cannot sell sweat on the marketplace so you will need to find a player willing to buy the sweat vials.
Hunting
Once you have some PED from sweating you can buy a weapon and some ammunition. Stay around the sweating camp because your character is still very weak. As you kill the low level creatures around the camp you will periodically loot items. You can sell these items to players, on the marketplace or through the trade terminal. Check with other players to see what you should keep, sell, or sell to the trade terminal. During your hunting you may loot low level armor or a weapon that your character can use if you are at the proper level for the equipment. Take your loot into town and try and find a buyer. It is recommended that you sell to players so you don't have to pay the marketplace fee for listing items. Check all your prices so you get the most for your items.
Crafting/Mining
Crafting and mining are other ways to make money but you will need a lot of skills and PED to get started. These professions are not recommended for new players unless you plan to deposit real money into the game and play that way. You will burn through a lot of money gaining skills in these professions.
Guild or Mentor
If you join a guild or get a mentor (player helper) you may be able to make some money as a new player. Some guilds may give you a small amount of PED to join and some low level equipment. A good mentor may give you some cash as well if you are lucky.
Sweating creatures is the easiest way to make free money without any spending any in this game. Once you sweat for a while you can go into hunting and then crafting or mining for resources. Join a guild as a new player may help too.

Tips for Browser Game Supremacy 1914

Supremacy 1914 is a browser based war game that takes place in WWI. Build up your provinces with barracks, factories, railroads, and harbors. Use infantry, tanks, artillery, battleships, and other weapons of war to defeat your enemies.
Game Tips
Supremacy 1914 is a great World War 1 strategy game you can play entirely within your web browser. Players are given a random country unless they are playing the gold game. Your task is to build up your countries provinces and get a powerful economy going. You can play on the diplomatic side or go for a military victory. The first ting you need to do in the game is have a look at your economic base and see where your resources are coming from. Each country is usually defiance in one or two resources so you may need to go to war to acquire tem, trade with players, or use the stock market. Food is very important in the beginning and you have wheat and fish to rely on. Put a harbor in any sea provinces especially if they have food resources because this will boost production of these vital resources.
Wood and iron are the next important resources since you will be building plenty of structures in the early game. Try to keep these resources in the green and trade when you get low. If you have some on your borders you may want to attack another player and acquire these resources early on but this can be risky so be careful. Coal, oil, and gas aren’t as important in the early game but you should still be looking to stockpile these resources too. Using the stock market can be a great way to buy and sell resources and make a profit for your country. Try to from diplomatic relations with countries that have some resources that you need so you can make decent trades and get something of value in return.
Be sure to build recruitment centers in all your provinces but don’t build too many barracks early on since these will eat through too much food. Build barracks in your provinces that have double resource production since this will create infantry quickly. Build fortresses on your borders or any areas you think might be threatened. Do this early on since infantry attacks against a fortress is almost suicidal for the attacking side. Artillery massed together will make short work of a fortress and allow your troops to occupy the city.
These tips should get you going in the early stages of Supremacy 1914. Be sure to use some diplomacy because you won’t win many matches as a lone gun unless you are really good.

Fog of War Napoleonic Wars

For of War is a web based browser game that takes place in the Napoleonic Era. The game features base building, heroes, and combat via the game map. This game is very similar to the popular web based game Evony.
Game Review
Fog of War Napoleonic Wars is a very fun game to play. This game involves building up your base from humble beginnings until it reaches an economic and military powerhouse. You an build walls, barracks, houses, forgers, stables, beacon towers, universities and other structures to improve your town and its ability to fight. Your walls can be reinforced with defensive structures such as traps, towers, and falling rocks. The graphics are very good for a browser game and the game loads fairly quickly. This game is new and more things are being added all the time to make it better.
An important part of your initial development is your resource and population production so you should concentrate on that right away. Outside your base you have your "rural" area which you ca find at the top of your map. At this location you can develop food, wood, iron and stone resources for your developing town. Inside your town you will need to build cottages to increase your population numbers to fill your mines and also to give you enough people for your troops.
You can build troops once you have a rally point and a barracks. Each troop may require new technologies which you can research at a university. You will need to upgrade certain buildings periodically to get access to new troop types. Your university will also help you improve other areas of your town such as your economy or even make your soldiers fight better once they engage in battle. You should work on upgrading your University as soon as possible. If you upgrade your town center you will have more room for extra troops in your armies.
You can control your armies with commanders or "heroes" which can be recruited from your town. These units can be economic as a mayor, a fighter or help you with technology improvements. These units can also be equipped with items that help to improve their statistics in the game and make them work better for you. You also have the ability to join an alliance and fight with other players in the game too. You an buy items that improve your game play from the store if you want to with real cash but you can still play for free as well.
Conclusion
Fog of War Napoleonic Wars is a fun browser based game. It is free to join and will entertain you if you like this type of strategy game.

Wild Guns Browser Game

Wild Guns is an online browser based game created by the developers at Gameforge. It features empire building and combat that takes place in the Wild West.
Wild Guns Features
When you join Wild Guns you can play as the Cowboys, Indians or Mexicans. Each side has its own unique troop types for you to build. You start with an empty village and over time it will grow into a thriving town as you build new buildings, resource plots and level them up. The game has several resources including food, wood, iron and clay. Food is the most important resource because it helps to feed your troops and is needed to level up buildings.
In the beginning it is a good idea to concentrate on just resource production and not military. You will get a short protection period before other players can attack you. There is a short tutorial that you can do that will teach you about the game and reward you with some resources. Once the tutorial is finished you can use the game manual to help you.
You should join an alliance as soon as possible so you can be protected from attacks and you can do this once you build the embassy building. The game features many different building including the barracks, market, hideout, cannon foundry, storage and foundry. Other building will unlock as you level up and will help you with your production levels. At your academy you can train new troop types so they are available in your barracks. Each of the three sides has different troops. For example, the Mexicans and Cowboys have cannons but the Indians have flaming arrow troops. The Cowboys and Mexicans have more gunpowder type troops. Each side also has a settler that can be used to colonize new towns but the settler is very expensive to build and will take lots of resources.
Game Play
Wild Guns is a fun browser game to play. You will find a good mix of troops to try out and the map and interface are well done. There is a large game community and many active alliances that you can join. The game manual is well done and the forums area good place to ask questions if you get stuck playing Wild Guns. The game is a good change of pace from fantasy and medieval games that are crowding the browser game market. The game play can be slow as you need to level up your buildings but once you get into the combat action it can be loads of fun. I can recommend Wild Guns to the strategy gamer who is looking for something different to play that isn't fantasy. Gameforge continues to develop and release fun browser games.

Kingory Medieval Browser Game

If you like medieval style browser games like Evony and Empire Craft then you will find Kingory exciting and fun. This game isn't as well know as Evony but it is very fun to play and has some very cool features.
Kingory put you in control of a medieval Chinese village that you need to build from the ground up. It features three main areas, the town, rural area, and game map. In the town area you can build all your basic buildings including barracks, cottages, rally point, foundry and college. Each building can be upgraded as you progress through the game. You will need population to get troops so the first thing you need to do is build cottages to increase your population limits. After you have a few cottages you should switch to the rural view where you will find your resource plots.
Resources play major role in this game and you will need food, wood, stone, and iron. These can be built in the rural area plots outside your town and upgraded as long as you have free population to run them. You should plan on upgrading these as soon as possible so you have a good supply of resources coming into your town. You can increase your money by assigning taxes from your government center, the main building in your growing town.
In this game you can also get heroes to help lead your armies. By building a tavern and hero lounge you can start to use heroes in the game. The higher your tavern level the higher level hero you can recruit. The heroes that are available will change randomly so you need to keep checking the tavern for better heroes. You need a hero assigned to an army before you can begin fighting in the game, only scouting works without a hero.
You should also build a college as soon as possible since this will allow you to research technology vital to the growth of your town and for the training of more advanced troops. You should upgrade this building when you have the resources available as soon as possible to get access to more advanced training options. Some upgrades will require other building levels before being unlocked for you.
You can join alliances in the game by building an embassy as well as trade resources via the marketplace. You have a seven day grace period before being open to attacks so you should work very hard on your town during this time. Try to build walls as well as a large army for protection and get some heroes established as soon as possible. Quests are available and will offer you rewards for completing them. Quests usually involve building a structure or gathering resources and are easy to complete. All new players should do as many quests as possible.
Kingory is an exciting and fun browser game that should be tried out by anyone interested in medieval style action. I have found the game to be one of the better browser games on the market.

Millionaire City on Facebook

Millionaire City is a Facebook game where you build up your own city complete with businesses housing and decorations. Make money by renting out your housing structures using contracts. Your businesses will provide you with steady income too. Use your revenues to build more structures and slowly expand your city. Complete quests and try to make the most money in Millionaire city.
Review:
City building games have become quite popular on Facebook and Millionaire City is one of the best offerings. To increase your population and start earning money you will need to build some housing units. First you will need to find out how many plots the house will take and after you use the plot tool you can add your first housing units. Each house will provide several contracts you can choose from. These contracts will provide you with income as they come due. Your revenues will turn into Millionaire City dollars which you can use to buy more housing or businesses for your growing city. As you level up bigger housing units and even apartments will become available for you to add to your city.
In the game you can also add commerce buildings to your city. Be sure to place these next to some housing units since the radius of the commerce building will provide you with more income if it is in range of come housing units. There are coffee shops, flower ships, cafes, nightclubs, malls and other commerce buildings you can add to your city. Be sure you have enough plot space to lay down the building that you want. You can do this by busing the plot tool.
Decorations in the game such as trees and other structures can provide an income bonus if they are places next to resident buildings such as houses or apartments. Not only will your city look better but you will make more money too. There are currently several gardens and tress to choose from but not much selection yet. Hopefully the developers will add more soon to the game so the player has more decorative options.
You can make additional money by visiting your Facebook friends who have cities or you can use the ones provided by the game. More money can made by building some of the wonders in the game such as the golden statute or pyramids.
The graphics in Millionaire city are decent for a Facebook game and there is a nice “money” sounding soundtrack but it getting boring after you play for a while. The game is good but it doesn’t really add too much different to the city building genre on Facebook. There are currently not enough varied structures in the game and more need to be added for better game play.
