CHAPTER 8: SOCIAL RULES

A. The Rules

Before you can play Archmage, in the moment you're creating your mage you'll see the Server rules. It's ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to break any of these rules which in case you'll be punished.
The sanctions may vary according the rules you break. The usually is that every mage in the Server attacks you without a chance to defend yourself. Or to find a Devastating Spell summoned and not dispelled by us for several turns. Sometimes we will reduce your turns. And in serious circumstances your IP will be banned and your mage executed. If you believe that any mage is cheating send a message to the council explaining your situation to check it out and make this a clean and funny game for all.

B. Trouble logging in

Sometimes when you want to log in the game you won't be able because maybe the page doesn't load or it gets stuck. This happens because the Server is in maintenance process and for a short time is not available to work. Or maybe because there are a vast amount of mages logged in at the same time and the server doesn't had the power to work with so many operations in a single second. The only thing you had to do is wait for a while meanwhile the server is stabilizing.

C. Your authentication has expired

This will appear when the server doesn't have access to write cookies in your system. Is nothing serious, just go to Internet Options and in the Privacy side change to "accept all cookies". Once you do this the authentication message will never appear again.

D. Fallen Units

To have these special units, you necessarily have to play with a Nether magician. Wait until the spell Corruption appears in the Black Market and buy it. This will give you the opportunity to summon it in battle and to corrupt angel type units (angel, archangel and dominions). In order to have fallen units you must complete this requirements:

1) You are a Nether Mage
2) You had the Corruption spell.
3) You use Corruption as a battle spell
4) You fight against an army of angels.
5) Corruption don't miss when you cast it.
6) Corruption is able to pass the resistance of the attacked kingdom.
7) You kill angel type units.
Dead angels miss their resistance to nether magic.

You can also assign Corruption as a defensive spell if you expect angels. In this case:

1) You are a Nether Mage
2) You had the Corruption spell.
3) You use Corruption as a defense spell.
4) You fight against an army of angels.
5) You kill angel type units.
6) Dead angels miss their resistance to nether magic.


E. Log out

You just leave the game closing every record and securing your information in the server.

F. Unique Items

Unique items are hard to get although they're in implementation process. You can get them in the Black Market, using the Treasure's coffer or stealing from another mage. Each item had powerful effects, some positive and some negative. Soon we're going to make a small guide to explain what's the use of every Unique Item.

G. Social Norms

1. Multi attack
The multi attack concept is very simple, it's the action of attack many times to another other mage in any form (siege, pillage, spells) in 24 hours. This is only tolerated between mages and guilds in war, otherwise the multi attacker will be punished with the execution of his mage and the ban of the account.

2. Attack messages
When you attack a mage you had the chance to send him a message explaining the reason of your attack. there are few terms that you should know: "azar/random" indicates that the action is not a war declaration, it's just an attempt to gain some lands. "Counter" as the name implies the other mage is giving you an attack in exchange for the attack you made in the past 24 hours. now, in the pillages is rarely to see a message. Many of the messages are self explained, but is always wise to make the other mage know your intentions.

3. Checking descriptions
It is always wise to check a mage's description before you attack him. By doing this you may avoid to get involved in a guild war because the may take you as an enemy and all the guild will attack you until you're dead.
