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.
