I’ve played this game for a couple of days and I’m really curious about how the game play experience develops though the game. Would the players playing this game for a long time be so kind to answer some of the questions I have.

 I think cooperation and communications with other players is a very important game element. So, most questions are aimed on this.

I’ve counted the building squares in the town map there are equal to the number of possible buildings. So, in theory you can produce everything you need in a single village. Do you depend on others to produce the stuff you need if yes why don’t you produce it yourself?

Do you still attack new settlements with your army or have you found a more economical use for the army?

Does the game force you to cooperate with other players or would you grow just as fast on your own?

What is your main base of income? (Examples raiding, thieving, gathering, questing or trading)

If you have more than one village do the villages have different specializations?

Do you regret your choice of raze and why?

First of all...

MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Damn the blue on black.
Makes your post hard to read.
Read my answers below in bold.

Keep in mind that i am playing for a long time, so my answers reflect on myself and not on new players.

SC said in the chat that there will be more buildings coming in the future.
So you have to specialize yourself.
More buildings then squares.

Yesterday Illyriad launched a new update.
This update contains NPC's that you can attack with your army.


Does the game force you to cooperate with other players or would you grow just as fast on your own?

You are growing faster together offcourse, when you need something your alliancemembers can help you send resources you need.

What is your main base of income? (Examples raiding, thieving, gathering, questing or trading)

Main base of income is my town.
Raiding / thieving / gathering / questing / trading is just a bonus to my income.


If you have more than one village do the villages have different specializations?

All the villages are the same if you have more then one.
Currently there are no specializations, but if there are more buildings then squares, this will changes.


Do you regret your choice of raze and why?

I think hardly anyone uses this feature.

My first account was a dwarf. But soon enough things ended up so that I was in charge of the alliances diplomacy, a job much more suited to a human. So I made my second account, this human one, which quickly overtook my first one and became my main. I haven't logged into my original one for like weeks.

Thank you, wuzzel for answering my questions. (sorry, for the blue. The forum gave me a black box to type in with black text. So, I needed to adjust that :-)) 
 
I'm really exited about the more buildings then buildings plots in the future. I will make people more dependant of each other. Especially, if they introduce a couple unique buildings(Every town can build only one unique building) that produce unique goods. That should really give the trading necessity a boost.
 
The new update with the NPC's give a loth of promice to. I like the idea of cooperating with other to slay evil critters. I wonder how they'll develop it.
 
It is still unclear to me, what the difference is between the races. Except in recourse plots in the beginning. Duke Felirae said that humans are better in holding an alliance now why is that?

Each race has a few things it's best at.



Humans have the best cavalry units and the best diplomatic units (and to get those diplomatic units you have to upgrade your consulate which gives your alliance a bonus or two).

Elf's have the best ranged units and are the best at magic.

Dwarf's have the best infantry units and have the best defense.

Orcs have the best spear units and I think their units are generally cheaper to produce.

Okey, thank you, but  I got that from the race introduction. Do you have any statisics or math to back it up? I'm realy curious about this.
