input = Keyboard, MouseDarkThrone is a Massive Online Text Based Game developed by Lazarus Software.After creating an account, players choose the Race, Class, and Gender of their Character.They are then given a specific amount of untrained citizens, gold & turns to begin playing with.
Players use gold to purchase weapons, and train citizens into workers who can produce more gold for the player, or into military units which can attack, defend, or conduct various spy missions on the player's behalf.
Turns are used in attacking, and may be used of increments of anywhere from 1-10 at a time.The more turns are used in an attack, the more gold is stolen from an opponents treasury in the event of a victory.
A player obtains more gold every half hour based on their level of fortification, economy upgrades, and workers trained.Turns are also generated every half hour, at a constant rate of 2 per 30 minutes of real world time.
Turns & Gold are continually generated in this way, every half hour, even while the player is away.Thus making it more likely that the player will be attacked for their gold, the longer they are away.
