This is a free browser game that's kind of fun. If anyone has ever played Ogame it's supposed to be very similar.
Basically you are given a town on an island that you have to level up by recruiting people and harvesting wood and other luxury materials from the surrounding countryside. You can also pillage or trade with other towns and eventually other islands, although I have not gotten that far.
Your townhall provides general info on how your town is doing. When you upgrade, you can have more people move in. The more move in the more workers you have. But you need to keep them happy. The academy is where you research skills. The higher the level your academy, the more scholars you can have research an idea. The more you have on an idea, the faster you learn a new skill to employ.
Each island has one specific luxury item you can mine: crystal, marble, sulphur, or grapes. In time, you will need to trade with (or pillage) other towns/islands that have the materials you need. In order to do this you need to learn about tradeships and seafaring. You can also create a military to protect your interests or to just raise hell with your neighbors.
It's not a very quick game but I like that it doesn't take constant supervision. I came home from work and I think my workers had cut down an entire forest So I am set with enough wood to build new shit.
I'm on the Lambda server and my town is Tisketville.
