Kings of Chaos...

dennyThose who are foolish enough to follow my journal may remember me being more than slightly obsessed with the online game Kings of Chaos before my trip to hospital, with almost daily exhortations for all to click on various links, thereby generating me extra elves to use in my campaign for geeky supremacy.
My personal goals in the game were to get into the top 100 players (based on army size), which was looking like quite a challenge given the increasingly slow rate of advance as you move up the ranks, and also to get my attack and defence bonus over 100,000 each.
I'd got the attack over 100k before I went to hospital, and was just into the 90,000s with the defence bonus, but I seemed to have stalled on my advance up the score board of army size, staying fairly constantly around the 110 mark for a week or two before the accident.
When I got home, it was actually almost 24 hours before I remembered the game and logged back in... to find myself still 110th. Furthermore, in the time I was gone I had accumulated so many attack points, extra men, and gold, just from still being alive at the end of each day, that by spending a load of money on extra mercenaries I suddenly found myself 70th, with enough money left over to bring my defence bonus into six figures as well.
So what we have here is a game that is quite difficult to advance in by playing it intensely every day, but that wandering off for a month and completely ignoring it seems to really help you out quite a lot. Bit of a flawed design there, I think.
PS: please click on my link! *grin*
