3. Player Action Guide

Videos 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and, 10

Almost all changes to the World are done via the Action Form found in the Forms section. Ideally, you will only need to fill out one per turn. Please check out the FAQ article for more details on the below rules.

DISCLAIMER

The Action Form handles your actions in this order, Moving (3-4), Diplomacy (5-6), Building Settlements(7), and Converting RS to Renown (8). Answering "No" to certain questions will allow you to skip over those sections. It is a good idea to plan out all of your spending desires beforehand so that you only have to submit one form per turn. If an action has an associated cost, then that cost will be indicated in the Action Form's questions/answers. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT GO NEGATIVE IN REALM STONE OR SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS WILL NOT OCCUR THAT TURN.

END DISCLAIMER
