The tech trees being given are kind of inaccurate to say the least. It is more of a pre-requisit system. For example to Have baldiers unlocked you need Currency and Food unclocked and this building built!
? Apr. 19, 2006 - Welcome to X-kings TeamMass! this is where we talk about X-kings!
Hi, I'm writing today about X-kings Website which is a powerful gaming website with strong Alexa rankings. The LEaders of War is alos a fun game ot play at Leadersofwar.com!
Hi I don't know who Johnyy is but he needs to die LoL. Today on X-kings I found out my worst account is also my most intellegent. I expect it to really pickup some momentum and catch the opther TeamMass accounts once it starts to build some Defense. Right now it is gathering around 1000-3,000 per attack turn used... Kicks but when attacking but has no defense.
? Apr. 5, 2006 - Offense Versus Defense in X-kings?
So the strategies are out there and I can't get anyone to give me some SP back. Anyone interested should contact TeamMass via x-kings...
So far I have one low level account which kicks but when on offense but has not D-fense.
I have one balanced unit which has killer D ability and one high level account which is fairly evenly built. I think we are making progress in X-king as a clan but am not sure about the long run.
I'm trying to build an X-kings tree or infor center but truthfully the system is setup funny!
Leaders of War (Leadersofwar.com) is now featuring a new website BETA. User can now come on and sign up for a Free Web based strategy game. Visit www.leadersofwar.com for mroe information.

How to Make Your Blog Accessible to Blind Readers
Quick Tips for Bloggers
So you have a blog, and you're worried that it might not be accessible to people with disabilities? Don't worry! A few simple changes can increase your blog's potential readership.
If you haven't chosen a service yet, why not support one that doesn't put up obstacles to blind bloggers like the need to "enter the characters seen in this picture"?
Some services confront users with the instruction to complete their registration by "entering the words they see in the picture." An accessible alternative is sometimes offered, but it is considered the "advanced setup" option and therefore requires highly technical information from the user.
Provide descriptive text for any images you post, including those that are part of your template. In HTML, you can provide alternative text for images by adding alt="your description of the image" within the image tag. Here is an example of a properly alt-tagged image:
Tips for Writing Effective Image Descriptions
Brief is better.
The usual rule is to be informative, not poetic. But it's your blog, so feel free to let your personality come through in the alt text, as well.
If the graphic includes text, put all of the words in the alt text.
Put the most important information first. For example, "Acme Logo: Sun rising over white sand dunes" is better than "Sun rising over white sand dunes: Acme Logo."
Check your spelling and try to avoid abbreviations. Screen readers will mispronounce words that are misspelled.
3. Avoid the Dreaded "Click Here" or "More..."!
People who use a screen reader to visit web sites will often tab from link to link, skipping over your carefully crafted explanatory text. It's a quick way to scan the page and get a sense of what the options are. "Click here" is purely mystifying, especially when heard over and over again. "Create your own blog" is self-explanatory, and lets the reader know what to expect.
Some blogging services allow you to display the opening sentences of a long post and then link to the whole post with an automated link that reads "(more...)". If there is more than one such link on the page, you can see the problem: more what? Most blogging tools allow you to customize that link to provide more information to the user, which will make your site more accessible. An additional bonus: Descriptive links make it easier for search engines to find your content.
Try to avoid using image links, which are hard for people with low vision to decipher, but definitely provide alt text if you do. In this case, the alt text should tell users where they are going.
4. Put Your Blogroll on the Right-Hand Side
Blind users find top and left-hand navigation bars annoying because the screen reader starts at the top of the page and reads from left to right. It is very time-consuming to listen to the same list of links every time you visit a page. You can get people right to your latest post by putting your navigation links on the right-hand side.
Do you want to make sure that users who are blind can comment on your blog? For users who access your site using screen readers, it can be extremely difficult to know what is required in forms. A user moving through an incorrectly marked up form may hear no more than "Edit, edit, edit, radio button not checked, submit button."
But there is an easy fix. Check the comment form to see if it includes
Here is a sample of a text field that has been labeled correctly:
Note that the ID and LABEL FOR must be equal to the same value.
Blogs are usually stylesheet-driven, which is great news for readers with low vision. If you use relative font sizes (expressed in percentages or ems), rather than absolute font sizes (expressed in points or pixels), then users will be able to make the text larger or smaller as desired—an important feature for users with low vision.
7. Don't Force Links to Open in New Windows
Coding your links so that they automatically open up a new window can be very disorienting for a visually impaired user. Only the most recent versions of screen readers give blind users any indication that a new window has been opened. Popping open a new window also resets the back button, effectively "breaking" it. Avoid the use of target="new" in your links.
Conclusion
If you describe your images, supply informative text for links, put navigation links on the right-hand side, use relative font sizes, and have a properly labeled comment form, then congratulations! You are well on your way to an accessible blog.
