Elvenar grew out of a well-known browser game, and now it's an online simulator where InnoGames offers to build a fantasy city. First, you'll need to decide who to play as: refined elves or sturdy humans? The appearance of your future capital depends on this decision. It suits those who aren't in a hurry: here you can spend a long time planning the layout, placing house after house, and watching a small settlement grow into a thriving kingdom.
How the city develops
Everything revolves around resources. Mine them, trade them, invest them in upgrading buildings, and the residents, whose numbers keep growing, will have something to eat and somewhere to live. The city's appearance is entirely up to the player. Want a whimsical paradise garden? Go ahead. Prefer a strict metropolis where everything is laid out by the ruler? That works too. To expand your holdings, you annex new provinces, and researching ancient technologies opens the way further.
Trade and neighbors around the world
You won't have to build alone here. Goods are traded at the marketplace, both with live players and with local merchants. Newcomers get the hang of it quickly: the tutorial is clear, and the community is happy to offer advice. Gradually, new residents appear in the city: dwarves, fairies, dragons, and other fairy-tale races.
Details worth knowing
The account is shared across phone, tablet, and computer browser, so progress is saved no matter which device you continue on. An internet connection is required: the game doesn't run offline. The download is free, though some features cost real money. If that's a concern, in-game purchases can be disabled in your device settings. Anyone dreaming of their own magical kingdom can download Elvenar for Android as an APK file, and everything will be installed in a couple of minutes. Updates arrive regularly, bringing fresh content for events along with them.
