Frisian Sea Beta

Four levels of the computer

You play the computer at four levels: Farmhand, Farmer, Chieftain and King. Start with Farmhand and work your way up. Up to and including Chieftain, the computer responds faster and uses more of the game with every step. King does even more in a fight.

  1. A pitchfork, the sign of Farmhand.

    Farmhand

    Builds a village and attacks late and carefully. For your first games.

    It takes its time to respond, so you can calmly learn how a game goes.

  2. A golden sheaf of corn with a band, the sign of Farmer.

    Farmer

    Plays a whole game at a calm pace and defends its village.

    The start screen selects Farmer at first, and in Quick play the computer plays as Farmer.

  3. A round shield with a boss, the sign of Chieftain.

    Chieftain

    Plays with ages, technologies, walls and the sea.

    Chieftain plays the way the computer played before there were levels. If someone drops out of a game online for two minutes, the computer plays their village as Chieftain until they are back.

  4. A narrow golden crown with red stones, the sign of King.

    King

    Everything the computer can do: pace, sallies, rams and the sea.

    Chieftain and King pick their own approach every game: early attack, grow first or at sea. Which one, you only find out when you go scouting; afterwards the end screen shows it.

How to choose

  1. The menu of the game with the choice The computer in a new game.

    1. Against the computer

    A new game against the computer begins with a start screen: choose your people and the computer's level, and click Start. Your last choice is already selected, and your browser remembers it. During a game you can also change it in the menu, at The computer in a new game; that counts from the next game.

  2. The screen of a new room with the four levels.

    2. In a new room

    Under How strong does the computer play? pick one of the four. That is how strong the computer plays in every slot nobody takes.

  3. The waiting room with the choice of a level at an empty slot.

    3. In the waiting room

    The host picks for each empty slot how strong the computer plays there.

  4. The end screen after a won game, with the button Another game against King.

    4. Another game against ...

    Win a game against the computer, and the end screen has the button Another game against, with the next level up. That is how you climb to King.
