Introducing a home made web based RTS game

[Toad]

I've always been a fan of games like Travian, Ogame or Utopia. I needed a motivation for learning PHP and MySQL, and ended up working on my own web based RTS game. This game has been running for more than a year already in a French server, and I've decided to translate everything into English some while ago in order to make it available to a broader community. This game is based in the universe of Magic the Gathering, with colors and legends, with a medieval inspiration. For those who know Utopia, my game is very close to it (I've actually started it as a solo Utopia with the authorization of Utopia developpers).

The game is played in seasons of 4 weeks, and the next season will start on sunday at midnight Paris time.

EDIT: In the guide section the building descriptions are also in french.

I know these tabs are in french, I'm waiting for a friend to make me the english versions, I'm bad at photoshop

Buildings are in french in the guide yes I'm still translating this!
You can see what the buildings do in the Organization section though.

I'm definately going to sign up and try it out!  What I've gotten through in the guide so far has intrigued me.

Summer means less players, but that's still a good way to get a good grasp on the game mechanics
