You start with placing your troops down on a grid-based map along with the heroes you have with you and watch them fight the enemy. You don’t have any control over them during the battle (which is a bummer) but you can activate your heroes’ special skills which can turn the tide of battle instantly. In the early part of the game, you will mostly be going up against weaklings and cannon fodders. It will be a bit boring, but once you progress further, you will be fighting the likes of dragons and scarier foes. The PvP aspect is a pretty exciting one. You can either expand or defend your kingdom from other players in sieges or when you somehow meet another player in the map, a PvP battle will be triggered. Moreover, when you encounter resource buildings like mills and mines, you can have wagons transport them back to your kingdom. However, these can be attacked by other players, and when they do, a PvP battle will ensue. Of course, it’s a must to have some of your units guard them so they can return safely. Overall, Art of Conquest provides a lot of gameplay and playing it is certainly a joy. With outstanding graphics and a lot to do, it’s highly recommended. So, jumpstart your kingdom, raise and army, and raze your
The time spent at training camp prepared the boys for what was to come, by making them tough and brutal, while at the same time creating an army that does not stop to question its orders.
Even though there is a large amount of immigrants in the United States, why is there still discrimination towards immigrants? Some of these discriminations include: segregation, competition, lowly jobs, and inequality. However, according to Beau Sia and me these discriminations should not exist. Beau Sia believes that the main reason the United States allowed immigration is so that the immigrants could do the jobs that American citizens would not or are not willing to do. Despite this, they did not realize that immigrants (with hardwork) do have the capability of reaching the same position as the citizens of the first world. Which is why throughout the poem, “Conquered, Colonized, Colonialized,” Beau Sia states
First impression, Band of Giants could be just another mediocre war novel that seems to catch your attention initially but gradually becomes a repetitive list of events with subpar narrative that usually ends in a gut wrenching battle to finish the book; however Band of Giants is anything but that. This lively narrative of one of the most interesting wars of all time (Revolutionary War 1775-1783) realistically assesses an interesting mixture of men who led the military struggle against Britain, revealing both their strengths and weaknesses. Band of Brothers not only captures all the important battles that were deciding factors of the final outcome of the war, but also their families, attitudes, and life styles of the heroes. This provides
What are the stakes of your battle? What are the possible consequences for your main character if he doesn’t win? Will he die? Or is it worse? Will his army/companions/country fall into the hands of the enemy? Will his entire race be obliterated? Or is it better? Will he win the hand of the princess and the day? Will he amass a fortune that he will use to take over the world? The higher the stakes, the more tension there is to build. Make the consequences high enough that something MASSIVE will be lost or gained. Put it all on the line. Make your readers clamor for the outcome!
I choice to study the work of art named All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors by J. Otto Schweizer. What makes this a piece of work art is its capability to tell a story. Art is defined as the expression of human creative skill and imagination, typically a painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or the emotional power. I define art as a piece of work that has the power to tell an emotional story that will touch the hearts of the observers, or at least causes the observers to reflect or meditate. I do not believe that "good" art has a definition; however, if I had to define "good" art, I would define it as a piece of work that really captures the attention of the audience and can keep them
In winning the game Risk, power is a key factor. To gain power, players must have lots of land, wealth and forces. All players start out equal and over time, empires will start to rise or deplete. The empires that are rising will commonly fight for power. Eventually, one empire will overpower the others and use aggression to dominate. Players with powerful empires obtain many matching cards from conquest and typically dominate whole continents. Also, powerful

Have you ever wanted to play a battle royale game? Fortnite and PUBG are both battle royale games that have many similarities and differences. A battle royale game is a player versus player game where one-hundred players drop into a map, and collect loot like guns and shield. The point of the game is to be the last person, duo, or squad alive. It takes many games to become good at these types of games, as they aren’t as team oriented like Call of Duty. It is very difficult to win a match of Fortnite or PUBG.
In the early 16th century Hernán Cortés wrote a letter to King Charles I of Spain. The letter being a statement of great accomplishment and power wasn’t just a simple letter; to Hernán Cortés it was a symbol of authority and a step forward towards expansion. The letter acknowledged their achievements of this expedition; the first being their success and the discovery of land to be colonized and this amazing empire known as the Aztec empire. Steel, armor, canons, firearms, and horses presented Cortés and his crew the advantage over the native people they encountered which helped justify the Spanish overcoming of the Aztec empire.
My definition of art, while short, would be anything that is aesthetically pleasing to a person. But, who defines what art is, and what makes art work a form of expression? I think the cliché beauty is in the eye of the beholder, stands true when it comes to determination of what art is. With specific relations to video games, I believe that these creations are a form of art because of the amount of detail that is put forth to develop a world and an atmosphere to engross a person in. Take for example, Super Mario Galaxy, the colors to capture you attention, the music to drive you forward, and the concept to keep you coming back. All of these combined, make up one great game, and an overall multidimensional work of art. In the article “Why Video Games are Works of Art”, Kyle Chayka talks about what components make a game an artwork, but with every protagonist, there is always an antagonist saying “Oh, no it isn’t!”. On the opposite side, we have Rodger Ebert, and
There are many strengths and weaknesses of empires for various reasons. An empire is a group of countries or state that are controlled by a foreign power or government. Empires will shape a society economic, political, and cultural development. There are two different types of empires by dominance or empires by hegemony. The benefits of an empire by dominance are dominating the productive farmlands and trade routes. Farming also known as agricultural began, “in West Asia around 9000 B.C.E”( Judge, Edward H., and John W. Langdon 25). Be able to dominate the productive farmlands and trade routes in West Asia could make an empire very wealthy and profitable.
The primary challenge for leaders in the Army is taking a group of individuals and molding them into a team. The framework that is employed to the greatest effect uses task-oriented instruction and is called battle focus training. After major objectives are defined, they are broken down into smaller sets. These smaller sets are known as collective tasks and are designed to be accomplished by small teams of soldiers. Each soldier is assigned one or more individual tasks that work together to accomplish the collective task. Training begins by teaching soldiers how to accomplish each of the individual tasks. At this point, emphasis is placed on the soldier as an individual. Although training is conducted in small groups, soldiers are evaluated independently of their peers. Once individual task mastery is achieved, leaders have soldiers begin to work together to accomplish collective tasks. This method of battle focus training incorporates aspects of both individualism and collectivism to accomplish the ultimate goal.
By definition art is an expression of human creative skills that are appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Since The Heart of Darkness consists of somewhat dark themes, it has received mass criticism from people like Achebe
When walking around a city, you may notice that the architecture and art look similar to other works. Many of these designs have changed along the course of history and time whilst others have not. The designs that many people still see in society and day to day living is from two of the many cultures of the old civilizations, Roman and Islamic. The art and architecture forms from the Islamic and Roman cultures have many comparisons and contrasts between them. They, the Islamic and Roman nations, have both adopted from other cultures and have made their own discoveries in the art and architecture worlds. The Roman and Islamic architecture and art vary drastically from each other and yet have varying comparisons between the two.
In the art world, the medieval periods were traditionally though to be the unproductive phase of Europe between the decline of Rome and the Renaissance. Our modern feelings toward medieval art are far more appreciative. The main intent of Medieval art was to express Christianity which was also a common bond between a wide spread and diverse Europe. For this reason most of the art found from medieval times originated in monasteries and churches. European art during the Middle Ages can be divided into four periods. These four periods include Celto-Germanic art which ranged from 400 to 800 A.D. and was important in metal work. Carolingian art ranged from 750 to 987 A.D. overlapping 50 years of the Celto-Germanic period. The period of Romanesque art spanned mainly the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and was an important period for medieval architecture. Gothic art, the final period of the Middle Age art began in the Romanesque period around the twelfth century and went on until the sixteenth century. Artwork form these four periods all consist of distinct styles setting them apart from one another.
