Classic Relaunch – Sneak Peek #3
Hey there, I hope you havent forgotten about these sneak peeks already;)
This time its all about the layout changes.
- Ruler Age removed totaly (Alliance page and Vision for example).
- Remove the offensive fame bonus display (since the bonus doesnt exist).
- Remove non existing ranking pages like King of the Hill.
- Remove Meteor Elf and Templars from the Target finder.
- Remove Game Talk and ingame World Forum (Replaced with World Forum linked to Portal Forum).
- Add Option to keep using spells/ops until 0 mp/tp remains.
- Orkfia Toolbar added under “Tools”.
- Add for elders so that they can see if there is rps laying around to be purchased (displayed in the footer).
- Move the Admin msg link on the tribe page from the bottom up to the top with the other links (tribe news link etc).
- Add RSS feed for Global news.
- Add timestamps for all intel ops/spells just like the one vision got.
- Remove Pestilence from Orkfia Stats
- Add DragonMage dmg to Orkfia Stats
- Add “Most Kills” to Orkfia Stats (Alliance)
- Add a countdown timer next to the age been running timer in Orkfia Stats to cut down on possible miscalcs when people try to find out how much time there is left of the age)
I think that will keep you busy for now;) (This is not a final list, a few things might be added but nothing will be removed)
Stay tuned for the next sneak peek
Cheers

Classic Relaunch Sneak Peek #2
Hey there, we are atm just a little bit more then 1 day and 12 hours away from the end of this Age.
As mentioned in the mass pm sent to all players as soon as the rankings has been taken the game will be unpaused again and during this age between ages everyone is free to merg where ever they want to and co-op is totaly allowed.
We are with this getting closer and closer to the Orkfia Classic Relaunch.
Registration opens on September 6th and the game goes live on September 11th.
I would want to be able to publish a banner for this relaunch but so many different things are taking time here so I prefer to help sort out the relaunch then making a banner:/ (If anyone is up for the job dont hesitate to contact us, leave a comment here or send a pm ingame/portal forum or just pm on irc).
Tho what I can give is this userbar I made:
Which you can add to your signature on various forums you might hang out on.
And now to sneak peek #2.
Last time I mentioned the Tents and the Temples, with that saying that two other buildings would be removed. Here is one building that will be removed: Labs.
Rps are now bought with cr instead (ofc different costs for both Britts and Dragons).
This is combined with a totaly new science formulae and a new sci cap.
With this we are moving away from the SCIFiA that ORKFiA became, Science will ofc still play a roll in the game but say bye bye to the ~50% bonuses, science will now be more balanced with all the other bonuses out there in Orkfia.
Are you as a elder/co-elder tired of always finding rps laying around to be purchased? Now it wont go unnoticed, in the footer there will now be a display showing when there is rps laying around and how much it is.
These changes will seem quite big to most people and sure it is but this combined with the other changes we are doing is atleast in our eyes (and hopefully your eyes when you try it out) the way forward for Orkfia.
Stay tuned for Sneak Peek #3
Cheers
War Report – Mr. Men Vs. The Smurfs
Prologue
It was only days after #21 and #101 merged. We were keen to try out our new alliance, and were looking around for possible kill targets. Someone then reconed #24, and we found out that most of them were in war mode. Co-incidentally, we were in their war range. It is very likely that their war target was us.
Alli War I
We started to discuss if we should war them. There were many suggestions. No conclusion was made. The next day, I log in, and the server was down (again). I couldn’t log in at all. Hours later, i log in and got stunned. #24 declared war on us, and we surrendered. I did not surrender, thats for sure, as I wasn’t even on Orkfia for the whole duration of the war. I asked my co-elders, and they did not do it as well.
I trust them, of course, and the only logical reason was that one of our accounts got hacked, and surrendered the war. I sent a report to Law and Order, hoping to find out who hacked into our alliance. (I’m still waiting for a reply.)
One of our tribes got killed, and we could not just sit by and do nothing. We decided to take revenge. So we set a killtime, discussed our targets, and declared war at the killtime.
Alli War II
Things were going well. In a few minutes, we got Full Smurf’s homes down by a fairly high percent. Spells were taken out, and my co-elder did a standard grab on him. Thats when they surrendered.
I don’t know the exact reason, but it could be that they found something amiss when we surrendered without putting up a fight. They probably want a fair game.
Its one-all now. I don’t know what will come in the future. Right now, all I can do is to wait for a reply from Law and Order :p

War Report – The Smurfs Vs. Mr Men
War #24 the smurfs VS #15 Mr Men
After creating the alliance (#24) with several friends, it was nessecary to stock up the market and get the science in order. So the first few weeks were mainly about pumping sci and getting more players to join our fine alliance. We’ve got declared on once by alliance #73, but reacted quickly, killed one of their tribes and offered a truce.
We got back to pumping sci and recruiting players, till finally we had 11 players and one more to come. I decided to look around to find potential wartargets to see if the players that we had recruited were actually up to the task of being in a topalliance. I found a suitable target in #15 and posted all the info on the forum. I had one more day of work and then we could go war….
The following is personal report out of my diary: After working 12 hours I came home absolutely happy of being off from work for the next couple of days and being able to war again.. I tried to login………..
This is where the mentioned diary flew out the window (anyone know if I can declare orkfia based damages to my house?). The server was once again down, and thus so was I. I decided to get wasted and hope for the best the next day.
Abruptly I was woken by the sound of my telephone. Got out of bed too late to answer it, so I decided to try to login. The orkfian gods were smiling down on us today, because I was able to login. I also found out my co-elder declared war, which wasn’t bad, but he should have done it just before the tick and not 10 minutes after a tick. With 6 people online we then killed the first one, which was very easy. Sorry Mr Sneeze, but ml 2, that’s just asking for it.
Since all the tribes in #15 had converted to half turtlemode, we had to find the next suitable target. We skipped back and forth between two targets but went with the one that didn’t have 20% churches incoming. I knew we wouldn’t succeed at first but had two players that were coming home from work and could be back for a second KT.
About ten minutes after we had our failed KT, they had surrendered to my surprise. Our market had greatly improved and i was happy. #15 on the other hand had no idea why they surrendered. I told my alliance to get back to grow/labmode, but keep sufficient magedefense for an eventual retal.
This retal happened at night, they declared war and targetted Full smurf. Gladly Lazy smurf was online to surrender to prevent Full smurf’s death. We gave back a little sci and some of the market, but came out with a better market then before the wars. And it gave me an idea of our activity and also of the newly formed #15’s activity.
Now let’s hope no more flying fruity obstacles fly in to the server, so that stays up and we can keep playing.
