Kingdoms of Marazia - MMORTS by Siedge

Servers have been taken down so we can spend our time developing it further.
The concept
We chose an ambitious project for this Ludum Dare! Kingdoms of Marazia is an MMORTS. The combination of MMO and RTS has proven time and time again to be a risk. There have been attempts in the past to combine these two seemingly incompatible genres, but they've always been a real challenge to get right without compromising the parts of both genres that make them great. We love the idea of a MMO strategy game that truly takes place in real time, and we hope that we will ultimately build something really fun.
In the past 3 days, we have built an immense virtual world where you can build your own city, attack other players, and use in-game chat to communicate and coordinate. While the game is currently unpolished and its features are limited, it serves as a proof of concept for the game we hope to fully develop and release in the following months.
How to play
Since the game currently lacks a tutorial, here are the controls: * Left click a tile to select it * Right click a tile to move your selected unit to that location (one tile at a time) * Press B to build * Build a town hall for 250 wood and 50 iron to get access to other units, like woodcutters and miners * With a wood cutter unit selected, right click a neighboring tree to cut it down * Right click a neighboring unit to attack
- Woodcutters cut wood
- Miners capture mines that give you resources every minute
- Farmers give you food just from existing, they grow potatoes out of their pockets
Now you're ready to log in, get in chat and start playing. We'd love to hear what you think and what features you would like to see as we keep developing beyond Ludum Dare. Thanks for checking out our game!
Known issues
Spawning on water (Blue tiles) Leaving you unable to move. Combat bugs out.

I did manage to enter the game one time, but then I wasn't able to do much and the character was not moving. I tried to reload but now I'm not able to login again. I'm playing on a Mac, in case that's useful.
