Aspects of the Game

Aegis has aspects of both war and peace, both are considered dependent of each other. As a result it can be considered a very tactical game. Wars have waged for hours, days, weeks and yes... even months. The war aspects of the game have many different functions, from full out destroying a province, too simply taking some gold.

Individuals may take the peaceful route, they may continue to build their province, and still conduct diplomatic interaction within the community through the various political threads, issues such as protection are considered to an example of where diplomacy may be conducted. Those who choose peace, are generally considered diplomatically sound.

Kingdoms

Kingdoms are a major part of Aegis. When a certain level is reached in the game by your character you have the possibility of joining a Kingdom and eventually creating one. A kingdom is group of provinces united under one ruler, the king or queen. There are many benefits to being in a kingdom. Those include defence for your lands from the ruler, less caravans taken when trading inside your kingdom, and special bonuses that could have been purchased by your ruler. The special bonuses, called acts, help with many aspects ranging from war to help building.

Forum

A major part of this game is talking in the empire forums. These are open to everyone on all three servers. The topics range from help on generic questions or strategy based questions for players by players, discussions on future additions to better Aegis, problems you may be haveing or aesthetic problems with the game, announcements on whats happening in Aegis, Off-topic (one of my personal favorites) that are about things outside the game, politics discussion and war discussion, and Role-play.

The role play aspect of aegis is also good. There are people who dedicate most of their free time to writing brilliant posts on their character, or an event and even on occasions weddings. Most of the role-play is based on characters that are supernaturally strong or have some power. Anyone who wants to can join in on role-playing. Just create an imaginary character for yourself and go right in although there are some basic rules for Roleplaying.

Role Play rules

When role-playing you have to remember that there are other people who have their decisions in the game, so you can't play for them or say that they did something by your will.

Medals and Popularity

A part of being in the forums are medals. These are awarded by Eldars (people administrator the game on behalf of Demosios gaming) and are given based if they feel you deserve one. There are many medals which a player can get. One is the community medal which shows how long you have been active in the forums by raising by 1 point every week. There are also medals waring as well as diplomacy. There are also medals that show you are helpful in the forums and have good conduct.

Some history:

Major recent Wars:

The Unholy War- This was when 2 of the top warring empires of aegis (Lotus Empire (7clan, Nomad Renegades, Praetorian Alliance) and, (GHE)combined with ally (IBW) took on EVERY other empire in Aegis. The Unholy War lasted for many, many players quit Aegis as a result, while individuals who remained may still hold a grudge. The significance of the war can be seen in many recent conflicts within Aegis.

The Hibernation- Players harbouring grudges for the afore mentioned Unholy Crusade decided to get their own back, with the odds on their side they stuck a massive blow against the empires involved in the war. Though they lost, their bravery was at first respected. Though events turned and the bravery was soon forgotten. (As I am very biased I won't comment much more). It is called the "hibernation" as most members of the empire that started the war ran into a process called "Hibernation" to avoid being attacked back.

Major Events:

A new company has purchased Aegis. This has been great news, as the new admin listen to the players and do their best to help everyone, something which most games need and now AEGIS has in abundance.

Empires:

An empire is a group of kingdoms (kds are where you reside your province generally) that get together under one banner, to server, protect and war together. Empires usually form too- keep themselves safe from attackers, to keep friends together and to get same-thinking people togither.


SOME empires of aegis include.

Peaceful

Rakgor:
Rakgor is a kind, peaceful empire dedicated to protecting their friends and members and helping players new and old grow. They are one of the largest and oldest in Aegis.

Renaissance Dominions:
Also referred to as "RD" for short, Renaissance Dominions is a newer and peaceful empire. They protect their own to the bitter end and try their best to defend their friends.

Raiding empires

The Legions:
A group of veteran and new a like dedicated to raiding targets worthy of there time. They try not to raid anyone that cannot fight back and do their best to keep their raids as clean as possible.

††† Secret Orders †††

Aside from Empires, which are all known, at Aegis there exist also secret societies.

OGS is the name of a secret society founded by strong, experienced and trustworthy knights. Their members are kept secret and always act at darkness. Only the Masters of the Order know all their members, and Apprentices just know who are their Masters but not other Apprentices.

There exist no way to apply to the Order. The members are choosen by Masters, and personally invited to join in and to swear eternal loyalty. OGS have no borders, their members can be from any kingdom, empire or continent.

Is OGS real or a myth? Will OGS rule whole AEGIS? May be you could be the newest member.
