These units will attack anything in their range. Stone Trap (Again, turned on 95% of the time) Armed Tower (95% of the time, it is turned on) Here is a short list of the ones that do: It is a good idea to learn which units have this setting and which do not. 99% of the time you can tell what is hitting it and why at a glance.Īlso, most units in Ironfell will not automatically attack, HOWEVER some will. All you will see is that a unit will blink red when it is being hit. There are no projectiles or unit animations. Only build one because they are relatively expensive early on.Ĭombat in Ironfell is graphically simple. Move your carpenter near your Miner, right click the carpenter and then build a Barracks on the grass. First go back to your Wood Shack, right click, now build a carpenter. Now you have a resource income in its basic stages. Now click Farmlet and then build 3 of them.

Move the farmer to an open area of grass and right click him. Minute 3: Back to your Wood Shack, build a farmer this time.He will gather from trees within his grey move range (8 hexes) Move tge woodcutter near some trees, righy click him and select auto-gather. Minute 2: Again find your Wood Shack, right click and click Woodcutter this time.Left click the Small Mine and then left click on the iron deposit. Move him beside the iron deposit and right click him. Left click the miner and then click on a hex in the grey area to tell him to move there. Left clicking it will tell you it is an iron deposit. You should one odd looking mountain in your home realm, this odd looking mountain has iron in it. As you might imagine this guy will build iron mines. Minute 1: Find your Wood Shack, right click on it and then click Miner and finally left click near the Wood Shack.(I promise it literally takes three minutes) Now, just take five minutes to get a small resource income before you spend all your money on troops. Luckily you can build one within minutes and command every unit individually or many units at once. The world of Ironfell is a dangerous one, you will need an army to conquer it. (You will get a choice later of what 'goals' you'd like to see me demonstrate, but please be patient now. But as a new player, you will want to start with smaller goals, like: Getting out of this valley for instance. There are superweapons in the game and many people make it their goal to control these. You are an explorer, when you look around you see a beautiful valley.įirst you need to know, Ironfell as no explicit goals, players must set their own as they interact with other players. The exact business model is yet to be decided, but you can read David’s thoughts on “free to play” and other income options here.All you need to know right now is that you have been cast back in time for reasons that you will find out later. Ideally it will earn enough to pay David’s rent and for an occasional lunch at the pub. Ironfell is completely self funded and DataSmugglers is not looking for additional investment. This structure allows all players to be in the same universe (no shards), but for the game to be scalable, with realms hosted on separate server instances. Each realm can be a mountain valley, a large island or even an whole ocean with many new types of realm planned for the future. The game is set in a 2D hexagon tiled universe, divided into separate realms. You collect resources, build technology, and create armies to conquer new lands… or simply meander around, planting flowers in picturesque mountain valleys. You begin with a single Explorer, thrown back in time to a safe green valley surrounded by mountains. Ironfell is a time travel themed massive multi-player online real time strategy ( MMORTS) game.
