noon plaza

Welcome to the Noon Plaza, the home of resources, links and information about War of Conquest and other massively-multiplayer online games I’d recommend. Get started in WoC, pick up vital hints and tips, or get that orb map you’ve been looking for. Noon Plaza has something for everyone, ‘noob’, ‘vet’ and anywhere in between.

Update: War of Conquest is currently undergoing several upgrades, including security fixes, a new technology tree, a secure nation trading system and other new features. Once the new tech tree is rolled out I will try to update the interactive tree available on this website, possibly with a stats calculator capability as well as maintaining the current view of all required techs. Visit the War of Conquest Official Site or the official forums to keep in touch with progress!

New Game: For a slower-paced, a few minutes a day type of online game, take a look at CyberNations. It is highly political, with active forums for diplomacy, politics, intrigue and alliances. The gameplay itself is very simple, but the role-playing possibilities and shifting alliances are what make it work, as with most online games. As I progress with the game I may add a subsite here on the Noon Plaza for it.

What is Here?

If you are totally new to WoC then you can find some basic information here to find out if the game is for you, a summary of the game if you want to start playing here, and more in depth material on the official site, here and here.

So, what is there here? You can find Noon Plaza’s resources on the Resources page, which has various items which should help your days in WoC. There is information for new players, on how to get started, both technically and joining in with the WoC community. And maybe you can learn something from the tips, even if you’ve been playing for a while ...

WoC: Anarchy

Anarchy is the long-standing plan to create a second game world more in tune with the older players' style. It was born out of the 'WoC Classic' campaign to bring back certain aspects of older versions of the game. Anarchy is currently on hold with development being concentrated on the main game world, and the discussion forum has been closed. I think we can safely say that it won't be around for a while. More information and opinion here.

Links

Here are some links to other places where you can find information about WoC.

War of Conquest Official Site

The official home of War of Conquest, with information on how to play, how to sign up, and resources. If there’s something you’re not sure about, check out the online documentation and the game FAQ, all linked to from the front page.

Players’ Bulletin Board

This is where the WoC community convenes to comment on the game, how to improve it, and almost anything else you could care to mention! A very good place to pick up tips on the latest tactics, groupings of nations and issues. Also, get your word in on the Anarchy issue! (Requires free registration to post.)

WOCHelp.com

A good fan site (run by long-time player night_flight) with a lot of useful information and tips, particularly for new players.

Galactic Pathways

This is a young MMOG, so you can influence the decision-making as the game matures. It's a planet-based game (rather like Pax Imperia if you ever played that) with an emphasis on trade and diplomacy. They're currently very short on players, but there's only one way to sort that ...
