Nope, those are orcs  Being a Crow, I'm eating daily fresh Harmlesses, Dwarven lords and Night Crusaders. They are really tasty

Until you complete this research you cannot equip any of the special crafted gear that you may own onto your troops. Once you complete the research you can, for example, equip Hunter's Bows (+24% vs Animals) onto your archers and send them out to hunt rats. If you come back from hunting to see an army of cavalry descending on your town you can swap the Hunter's Bows for Long-Draw Bows (+16% Cavalry Defense) to help them protect the city. You can also place the special gear on your commanders.

I was recently involved in a battle that involved more than 100 incoming attacks along with multiple defender armies, as well as use of magic and diplomatic attacks. If you are looking for complexity, Illyriad offers that. It's also possible to engage in single-player combat or to fight against system-generated NPCs. The game is persistent and so far has been going for nearly 4 years. There is only one world in Illyriad at the moment, although the developers have suggested that new lands might open in the future. There are some players who choose not to join alliances, but most active players choose to join an alliance eventually. There are many different alliances and many different styles of alliances; some are more peaceful, others more warlike; some have specific goals or expectations, others are more free-form. There are a variety of different troop types and situations in which one type of troop might be more useful than another type, or where you might choose a particular type of troop to be more cost effective. For more information on the people behind Illyriad, check out http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Home/About There are lots of possible goals in Illy; it's up to each player and/or alliance to choose a goal. Once you meet a goal, you might choose another one.

1: Yes, generally during tournaments or during the siege of an active player's city.
2: The game is open; there is no end. 3: The maximum amount of cities is 20, and each one can be quite specialized. 4: Alliances vary in importance, although I would say they are one of the most important factors in the meta-game. 5: Just a number, although there are a number of interesting and strategic modifiers that can affect that number. 6: Not yet, we hope. 7: See #2.

1) Are there mass battles involving dozens or even 100's of players 2) Is there an end game or does it go on forever 3) Do you have hundreds of cities or just few but more detailed 4) Alliances are really important as in LoU or just a minor issue 5) Are troops just a number or are they more detailed 6) Does Electronic Arts have anything to do with this game 7) Haven't figured out if there is goal to meet Lord of Ultima is getting shut down in a couple of months my alliance is working on getting their crown in the next few days and we are looking at finding a new home. So I am have been trying this game for the last couple of days to see if it is something we would like (We enjoyed playing as a group and many of us would like to stay together)

"Crows are omnivorous, and their diet is very diverse. They will eat
almost anything, including other birds, fruits, nuts, mollusks,
earthworms, seeds, frogs, eggs, nestlings, mice and carrion" wiki

@ Aha:
Too bad there are no bisons then. Hopefully there will be some in the Broken Lands.
So what do the Crows eat here in Illyria? ;-) Edited by Dwrwd - 12 Feb 2014 at 22:18 |

I believe that the military outfitter technology allows you to equip equipment to your soldiers and commanders. Note that some equipment can only go on some units.

Well if that is the case then what exactly does the military outfitter research accomplish? What effect does it have and upon who/what? It reads like he takes care of the weapons but the weapons are with the troops....does the outfitter relieve the soldiers of their weapons/armor to enable them to rest/heal/get drunk? Just trying to understand....please elaborate..Thanks..Dragonwort

No, troops always use the same weapon type. Eventually, you will have access to crafted weapons, which you can equip to units that use the same type (Giving Ranged units hunting bows, for example.)
Militia, in this example, would only ever use spears and leather armor, but you can use crafted items to give them certain bonuses, like increased attack on hills, or defense against cavalry. It should be noted that these are very work intensive and marginal, so newer players are pretty safe just ignoring it for a bit.
