Hi all, I’m Caius. I make Legend of Gods, a fantasy strategy MMO that runs in the browser. You build up a town, raise an army and lead a hero into turn-based battles on a grid.

The game first ran on Flash around 2012 and stopped working when Flash did. I still had the ActionScript client and the PHP backend, so I’ve been moving it over one feature at a time: a Laravel API on the server, Angular for the menus and screens, and Phaser for the town, the world map and the battles. When I’m not sure how something should behave, I check what the Flash client did.

The Town Hall decides how much you can build. Upgrades wait in a queue and only the first one is worked on, so you have to pick the order. Lumber, stone, iron, food and gold come in every hour, even while you’re away. In battle, units act in order of initiative, which makes placement and turn order count. Around that there’s a shared world map with other players’ towns, trading at the Market, alliances and an arena.

It’s free to play. Diamonds, the premium currency, can be earned in the game or bought.

Two things I’d like to know:

- Do the first few minutes make sense without reading anything, or is there a point where you get lost?
- In battle, is it clear what each unit can do on its turn?

You can try it as a guest without downloading anything: [Play Legend of Gods - Free Browser Strategy MMO](https://s1.legendofgods.com/?lang=en)

I’m happy to answer questions about the port too.
