What had changed? A guide for veterans - Morale

Realm of Empires started in 2008 with Realm 1. We regularly have veterans, those who played a long time ago, come back after years of absence. Sometimes we hear that they have a hard time navigating through all the changes that were made over the years.

This guide tries to help veterans by itemizing changes that occurred over the years.

MORALE

Morale mechanic, was introduced for those players, who felt they could not spend enough time in front of the game to compete with player that had more, sometimes all day to spend playing.

It basically gives you a set of "points" that you can use in a day, and each attack takes certain amount of points. Effectively, this means that once you use up your points, you cannot attack and must wait.

Because we know not all players like this, we have realms that do not have this new mechanic, and some that do.

Realm with this mechanic, are labeled as "1 hour per day" or "30 minutes per day" and indicate how many points you get. A 30 minutes per day realm, means that, roughly, if you spend 30 minutes playing on a realm, you will be just as competitive as a person who spends 10 hours, attack wise.

Realm with morale are typically called "Veteran" realms, realms without morale, are typically called "Veteran-insane" realms.

The effect on the game play are significant, and you have to adjust your play style to it.
