I have not passed the dark region yet. My experience with the goblins makes me hesitant about going into new territory. Right now I'm focusing on getting a familiar, an army and improving my relationships.
My reason for getting a premium account is, as you said, to gain a second character. I am also happy to support JB in developing this game - it is amazing.
Replying to: Thaosx, yeah the multiple character option is cool. You get to see a different angle of the game depending on if you go in a different direction with your second character.
At the moment, Spells have been coded to work with Combat and in certain parts of the game. Even so, not all are activated yet even though you can learn them. Which Spell(S) are you attempting to use outside of Combat and for what reason?
At present I am working on Clans - I want to finish that first before making adjustments to other parts of ROK II. I had already made a mental note to work on Spells right after - more so because I need to enable more creatures with the ability as well - stay tuned.
While everyone was sleeping Hunter was busy getting to the top. At the top he feels like a ruler, possibly a Ruler of Kings! He smiles at his accomplishment, its good to be up here.
