Welcome to the 1100AD Getting Started Graphical Game Guide

Note:
If you have not already done so, you can get connected to the Game by 'right-clicking' on 1100AD below and decide whether to open a New Window or a New Tab

It is highly recommend that you open the following link in another Browser window!!!

WARNING:
If you 'left-click' on the link below this red box, you will lose this tutorial! If you do this, 'click' on your browser's back button. The back and forward browser buttons are located in the upper left hand corner of your browser unless your browser has the navigation bar hidden. You can get your navigation bar back on by 'right-clicking' on the line at the top that says "File Edit View..." and 'left-click' on the line that says Navigation. This is how you toggle the 'bars' in your browser on and off at any time while using your browser.

1100AD Right-Click this line to open another browser window

Note:
Some players find it easier to have two Web Browsers open at the same time on their computer so they can switch back-and-forth between the two Browser windows and go through the game in one window and follow this guide in the other window. Other players prefer to use two tabs in the same browser window. You decide! Try it both ways and then you'll know which was you prefer.

Grail Server...

Highly Recommended for anyone New to the Game!!!

there are more Adventure Huts to level up your hero and you cannot have a city conquered unless you agree to War!

This is a Player-Against-Environment server...

Be careful though! This does not mean you cannot be attacked... It only means your opponents are not allowed to CONQUER one or more your cities unless you accept a WAR declaration!!!

Once you select your server, you are then presented with

The Town View of your City

now appears which will be similar to this one.

Note:
The image above has been reduced in size in order to fit nicely in the display window for this tutorial. You can see a full-sized image of this (and any other) reduced image by clicking on it. You will LEAVE the tutorial when you do this. In order to return to the tutorial, you will need to click on the back button of your browser once or twice to get back here.

CAVEAT: You are returned to the top of this section and may have to scroll down to this location again. If you click one too many times on the back button, you may need to click on the forward button of your browser to return to this section of the tutorial.

On my browser they are located in the upper left-hand corner of the browser window and look like this:

CAVEAT Definition, if you need to know what it means.

Note:
1100AD has been optimized to use the latest FIREFOX browser (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). If you are using another browser, there may be various missing or distorted features of the game. If you report these, the Game Developers will try to resolve these problems, asap.


Back to the tutorial...

At this point, you might notice that:

you have a level 1 castle (move your mouse over it) to see its additional information:
