VU - A vicious struggle for Total Domination

Game: Visual Utopia

Visual Utopia, its an excellent game. That lad that made that search-other-job remark should wash his mouth, preferably with bleach. Anyway, in VU you start out as poor, humble peasant full of ideas and ambition. After founding your first city it won't take long for people to notice you. I'll be honoust with you, most of the time its hostile attention thats why you should look for an kingdom to team up with that share's the same ideas and believes as you do and strive together for global domination or whatever else you fancy :) I personally find VU such an great game because it combines a lot of resources (Food, Stone, Tree, Gold and Slaves) and puts it in an easy to manage though ingenious put together building system. It won't be long or you too will have huge cities that dominate the landscape. To progress in time you can use 'Bonus Turns' or wait for fifty minutes to pass. Every fifty minutes will set the time one VU day forward. In such a 'day' buildings are being build, soldiers march and new recruits are being steamed for a live in the mud. And as such we are getting to my favorite part, war! War is an essential part of VU, for war gives you the options to kill those who oppose you. You start out with fifty soldiers that represent your personal lifeguard. Soon you will feel the need to train more soldiers for you begin to notice the greed in other people's eyes. With an good, balanced economy this shouldn't be a problem and soon you'll create huge armies consisting of hundreds of thousands a troops or vast, elite squadrons. However, what one man can do, another man can do. Thats why it is so important to team up with other, reliable, players. Armies are the tools but strategy, teamwork and politics are the key to winning VU. I could tell so much more about VU but words couldn't describe it all. VU is something that you need to experience, something that you need to do to capture its beauty. I myself was sceptical in the beginning, but this free game has me already hooked longer then any other game out there and if online games are your kind of poison, then don't wait longer but for the love of God sign up and strive along!
