Tribal Wars is a free browser-based MMOG set in Europe in the time of the Late Middle Ages. Players lead their villages from a humble beginning to a place of fortune and power by navigating the worlds of production, trade, war, raiding, and Diplomacy. Registration is free, but some game benefits are available to paying-members. You can play the game from nearly any computer with internet access because there are no downloads necessary.
Players choose their starting world (1-11 currently) and N, NE, E, SE, S ,SW, W, NW area at the time of their registration, but may play more than one. They may also choose to delete their villages on that world. The Villages may conduct diplomacy and trade with each other. There are tribes with groups of people that can band together and help support and trade with each other as well as co-ordinate attacks in their tribe's forum.
There are 387751 Players in 12 game worlds.
The game offers beginner protection for 4 days while you build your village.
Game Overview
Your goal is to lead a medieval village to fame and power. With your help the small village will grow bigger and bigger. The population grows, production rises and trade prospers.
But not only your village grows. Neighbours are also looking to expand their influence. Troops are being recruited, villages are fortified and wild axemen plunder and kill.
You will meet other players, with whom you can fight together in a tribe.
Your village grows bigger and soon the formerly small village will conquer other villages...
In the beginning of the game, it is important that you invest in your village and construct buildings. There are fifteen different building available. However, at the start of the game only seven of them are accessible for you. The others become available after you have constructed other buildings.
The Buildings on the game: Level they can reach:
Village Headquarters = 30
Barracks = 25
Stable = 20
Workshop = 15
Academy = 3
Smithy = 20
Rally point = 1
Market = 25
Timber camp = 30
Clay pit = 30
Iron mine = 30
Farm = 30
Warehouse = 30
Hiding place = 10
Wall = 20
Statue = 1
The construction of a building costs you a certain amount of resources (wood, iron and clay), which your lumberjacks, clay pit and iron mine produce, even when you are off-line. Besides these resources you also need villagers for the new building. You can add villagers by upgrading your farm to the next level.
Upgrading buildings takes about twenty minutes in the beginning. But in the course of the game this construction time increases considerably
New villages are also being established in your area of the map. They are controlled by other players.
Communicating and cooperating with them is the basic idea behind "Tribal Wars". Some of the other players will try to plunder you. Others will engage in trade relations with you or support you. It is very important for you to get to know a lot of players quickly and to ally yourself with them by founding a tribe or becoming a member of an existing one. Your tribe will help to defend you, trade with you and teach you a lot of useful tricks. Reading the forum posts or the tribal information is a good way to get information.
The market place offers a good possibility to trade with other players with whom you have not yet communicated.
You can accept other players' offers or post your own. This way you can acquire those resources that you need in exchange for those resources of which you currently have more than you need. Especially in the beginning this can save you valuable time.
Battles and wars play an important part in "Tribal Wars". There are nine different types of units, each of them with different strengths.
They are recruited in the barracks, the stables and the workshop in exchange for resources and time. The battles take place in the villages.
The units of the attacker are measured up against those of the defender. The aim of an attack can be to plunder resources, spy on the defender or simply zest for destruction. Ultimately the attacker might seek to take over the village.
Economic Aspects
Players may trade between every player or just players in their tribe, as outlined above. Players may also set offers up on the market open to any player to accept and trade resources (an example of this is the offer of 2000 wood for 4000 iron). The Other player then accepts the offer and sends you resources automatically. This is of course dependent on supply and demand.
The more you upgrade wood, iron and clay gathering places...the more resources you get per hour (when fully upgraded you get 3600 per hour). The warehouse dictates how much of each resource you hold...for example when it is fully upgraded a player can hold 400,000 of each resource.
Political Aspects
You can make alliances by your tribe allying with another tribe, or just between you and another player on mutual agreement.
You can send in-game mail to each other. You can choose which tribe to join (or leave) at any time, but may only be in one at once...
Or you can start your own (only recommended if you have lots of points). This is a very important part of the game...Because: United we stand--Divided we fall. A tribe and many allies means more friends and less enemies, and much more help than just on your own!!
Military Aspects
The vast majority of this game is military and the vital part is having a well formed Army. There are many ways to achieve this but essentially Time is the big factor. The time it takes to create the troops can be decreased by upgrading your barracks, stable or workshop. Researching technologies at the smith enables you to research new and sometimes better troops or upgrade existing ones. Horsemen are much stronger and faster than infantry but take longer and more resources to make. Catapults and battering rams available from the workshop are good for destroying walls and buildings. A Farm determines your population limit, so to have a good army it is vital to have a higher level farm. A warehouse determines your maximum storage capacity for resources and allows you to store raw materials procured in your village. Raw materials are needed to recruit troops and low level resources limit troop recruitment.

Self-dependence is a poem by Matthew Arnold.
Highlights:
* Stanza 3: The speaker (author) calls out to the stars and waters because he wanted their to be like his.
* Stanza 5: The answer of the rustling night air (which is the nature) is that nature is self-dependent in the way they are undisturbed by their surroundings nor they need love, amusement or sympathy.
Critique
* Characters: speaker (author) and the nature (rustling night air or air born voice)
* Conflict: none
* Theme: the nature of self-dependence
* Message: Be self-dependent as nature does.
* Kind of language used: poetic language
Even though the poem is very rhetorical and the words used are deep and represents imagery, the poem is still commendable. The poem narrates a story on how the speaker relates his character to the nature in terms of self-dependence. The nature (rustling night air or air born voice) replies his characteristics at which the speaker realizes to resolve himself and lose his misery or worry.
The poem gives us a very stunning lesson that people are isolating themselves from nature and from one another. This is very true today and this lesson must make people realize their wrong perception of self-dependence.
