Most people have a Facebook account these days. If you have been a regular user of Facebook, then you have most probably seen an ad or have been requested to play the game Castle Age. You may be wondering what Castle Age is all about? Why is it so popular? Are there any good tips to help a beginner get started? This article will cover exactly these questions. Castle Age is a MMO (massively multiplayer online) game. It is hosted by Facebook, which is why you see all the ads and requests. As a player in the game you are on a quest in which you can explore the land, team up with friends to fight monsters, or invade and duel other Castle Age players. The flow of the game is turn-based. This same formula has been used with other successful online games such as Mafia Wars. Each players turn is based on time (i.e. you can only perform a move every 5 minutes). However, this is not practical for everyone as it would take a lot of time to perform only a few turns. This is where the developers have introduced the concept of turn accumulation where you can accumulate energy while you are offline. Then when the player comes back online, they can use the energy all up to perform multiple turns. One of the reasons Castle Age is so popular is because it is hosted by Facebook. As of December 2009, Facebook has over 350 million users! Moreover, this game is completely free. Given these facts, the game is bound to be popular! Couple that with the fact that this game creates a fantasy world where players can do whatever they wish! When starting out in Castle Age, a player should focus on building a large army and increasing income. By increasing income and army size, it will allow you to buy more weapons and armour and win more fights. Fighting in Castle Age occurs in the form of duelling or invading. Duels offer better chances to those that have a small army but high personal stats. Invasions offer a better change to those with a large army and good equipment. Also, if you win in an invasion, you will get a lot more loot. For more information and tips on Castle Age, visit the Castle Age Guide! About the Author:
