«My lands» - Browser reincarnation of Heroes of Might and Magic ?
Intro
Think of your favorite computer game. How is it different from the dozens of others?
Regardless of the genre, one finds in the gaming world something special.
Whether it's Tetris, Monopoly, or Counter Strike, - players of both sexes and all ages can exercise their preferences in the game world.
In my school days (90s) were my favorite game Heroes of Might & Magic 2 / 3. The only available treatment for my game time was a hot-seat, a mouse passed from hand to hand, and protracted matches could last for months. On the possibility of fighting, as the hero, in-line with a large number of players then we could only dream of. Ideally - like a combination of incremental and real-time strategy.
As time passed, the game industry has made a huge leap, largely reversing mentalityof our generation. Note at least influence on the film industry - not surprising appearance of films is based on a computer game (this dandy of the ghetto will tell in the near future).
Hundreds of different-sized MMOG (massive multiplayer on-line game), providing the opportunity to fight in all conceivable forms with players from around the world - now have to look at the number of quality.
And we have to admit that the graph heaped new releases often - for myself - prefer the familiar, time-tested game. In my case - this is without a doubt, the "Heroes of Might and Magic", which looks so much like My lands.
However, in the summer of 2010 in my field of vision appeared newly-Ukrainian project (!)Of developers - the military-economic strategy called «My Lands». Perhaps, among the dozens of browser-based games like it could go unnoticed if not for wonderful graphics. No, there is no 3D-models, to provide adequate support for the graphics card that requires a certain type, be sure - with support for pixel shaders. And the realistic to the last bolt tankssince III-rd Reich either.
But there is a sudden, elusive, and because so pleasant image similarity with Heroes of Might and Magic! (especially with the second part pentalogii).
Additional interest declared by the creators of the project adds the possibility of Output of real money (how to do it - see below)
These factors were enough to I registered an account and began to study the fantasy game world «My Lands», not without trying to set up a team of developers Gravvit LLC (by the way, the game is recognized as number 1 browser game of 2010).
My sandbox! «My Lands!»

Registration took about a minute and did not deliver any problems.

Let us examine the available servers:
As you can see from the screenshot, the currently open 5 servers (game title "Archon", "Bakar", "Venona", "Gristor", "Drumir"), and the server "Drumir" opened recently - in early October 2010. Each game server «My Lands» is a separate game world, accommodatingabout 15 000 players.
The current system divides all the servers into two types:
for fans of Economic Development - "Miner"
for lovers of military maneuvers - "Attack."
As a lover of large-scale economic development and protracted battle, I came closer in spirit to "Mining" server, where I signed up.
Looking ahead, it is worth noting that whatever the choice of server have to do some fighting, and fairly. Further review is carried out on their own experience in the mining gameserver "Archon."
Following the selection of the server, the player is prompted to choose a race for which he will play. There are four: two for dark and light in hand.

Following the selection of the server, the player is prompted to choose a race for which he will play. There are four: two for dark and light in hand.
Light
Knights are not only his prowess, but also the phenomenal performance of gold mining.They also have the largest capacity in backpacks porters among other races. To store its countless treasures they make the most capacious warehouses. Also they feature a high rate of production of cereals. Live in the Holy land. In the friendly relations with the Elves.
The elves have chosen their place of living a magical forest of high waterfalls. In this race is the biggest production of wood. And, of course, tales about the miraculous healing Elven healers Delek heard outside their land. In the friendly relations with the Knights.
Dark
Demons - living in a dead land of darkness. With a higher rate compared to other races, resource dobyvetsya stone. Demons are united under the banners of their various soldiers of Darkness - dragons, skeletons, liches, but the most outstanding soldier in them is demonessy. It is the biggest attack of mercenaries from other races. In cahoots with the Dark Elves.
Dark Elves, exiled from time immemorial in the dungeon Damned forests have adapted to the darkness, and took into his service the inhabitants underground. Dark elves are well extracted wood and iron. And their battle mages at this level in his art, in an attack that lands best confront the enemy towers. In collusion with the Demons.
The experience of the game, I can say that the choice of race comes down to choosing a particular configuration of bonuses in the economy and the armed forces, and this choice significantly affects both the strategy gaming in general (development, site selection of new cities participating in market trading with other players), so and on the tactics of a separate combat operations (whether the seizure of possessions, raid the ruins guarded by monsters, or war with the players).Later in the review, we examine in detail the nuances of the development strategy for each of the playable races.
So, having defined the server, and selecting a race, go directly to the game.

Frankly, when registering at «My Lands» I was in doubt about the feasibility of withdrawal from the game. However, talking with players server, I realized that the project really allows you to earn and withdraw lump sums from several tens to several hundreds.
For example, consider the results of the battle, courtesy of one of the players the server. The player with the allies had a fight with the monsters of the ruins of the level 7 (a rare object on the map), and received not only a large number of basic resources, and 22 670 units of the Black Gem (his ally was the same). Thus, there was a gaming account of each player is 226 ML $, which corresponds to (including fees for withdrawal) 215 WMZ, filling the wallets of the very real lucky players.
How can I buy Black Gem:1) Making money (all the servers of the game is shareware). Path for those who want to make pastime in the game more enjoyable.
The course for the acquisition: from 1.01 to 2.09 $ for 1 ML $ (100 ), depending on the amount purchased.
2) Purchase at the Auction. There are as usual on the auction: the players put up lots of attention with a different amount, players place their bets in the game resource (gold), who described the highest bidder takes during the day and pay the lot. Perfect players who prefer a model of economic development.
3) Winning in the military campaigns in ruins. Option that fits lovers to war, and everything else too. Ruins of different levels (from 1st to 7th), containing different amounts of resources and bonus (including - Black Gem) periodically appear on the map of the game world. In trips can be walked, not only alone, but with one or more allies.
4) Preparation of special Black Gem holdings, which are called Salt Lake. They provide a stable increase in Black Pearls players to maintain control over foreign ownership.
