Ikariam vs Magecraft
Ikariam
Ikariam is an online empire-building MMO strategy game that partly resembles games like The Settlers Online and Sparta: War of Empires, and yet manages to offer something else that's entirely unique. In this game, you play the role of a leader of a Greek polis (city) and it is your sacred duty to develop your polis' infrasructure and economy, build up an army to defend said polis and attack other poleis, as well as to bring about new technological discoveries that will aid the growth of your empire.Ikariam may feel like every other browser-based MMO strategy game, but once you get into the game, you'll quickly realize how much more depth this game has and how exciting it is to play the game. It's definitely not easy to succeed in Ikariam - only the best leaders and strategists will manage to get to the top... Are you among these few?
Magecraft
Magecraft is a rather unique MMORTS game by Plarium whereby the gameplay seems to stand slightly out from the rest in terms of the usual MMORTS formula that they tend to use repeatedly for their games. However, the usual aspects of a classic MMORTS are still there, of course. You’ll need to build up your kingdom by managing your resources, defenses and your army. With a formidable army at hand, you can then subject other kingdoms under your rule and influence! There is also a new marshals system, whereby marshals are needed to head each battalion in your army, as well as a crafting system to provide crafted gear for your marshals The game even has remarkable graphics and an excellent music to boot.However, we are sad to say that the game has just recently been shut down (just last month) and the game is no longer available. However, if you enjoy this Plarium game, you might like to play their other, equally-exciting MMO strategy games as well. Do check them out!
