Gameplay
Gameplay
The game was free-to-play with no monthly costs. After Aeria Games acquired the game, optional items were available for purchase within the game's economy using Aeria Points. In the web-based game, players were given a section of land under their control. Tasks such as founding cities, researching technologies, building structures, and engaging in trade are accomplished through the web interface. Furthermore, players are given tasks to complete, build armies and can play either in cooperative PvE play or PvP combat. With a downloaded client, the Dreamlords client functioned similar to a real-time strategy game. The client was used primarily to fight battles and do quests.
