I really love this game, but i would love to have some game mode where you can and will be playing on it for as long you want.

i got some idea, and it could even allow a way to play multiplayer

i would suggest that you just generate islands or big lands like usual.

your first land you generate and have to build on would be rather easy mode, with not much challenges to overcome. but mostly rly small islands. as a trade off.

than eventually you Use your Exploration Boat to sail to the side of the map and chose to "sail to another continent"

this generates a newer map [1 Continent apart from main Kingdom] a bigger one map that already has some AI Kingdoms present that you can either ally up with or have to defeat. but no dragons or vikings yet.

with also again using another Exploration boat you can from there discover the 2nd circle of [Continents 2 maps from the main Kingdom] Wich here yo ucan encounter AI Kingdoms, Dragons and Viking raids. BUT you also unlock the option of Multiplayer. In these lands you can switch Multiplayer On in the Castel. This opens up the possibility to trade, visit, or be attacked by other players. when Multiplayer mode on this continent is ON exploring a new continent will be a continent of a fellow player, these continents stays linked with eachother for 3 days, in this time you can either try to Invade their land and claim it to be yours after defeating their Castel Building. Or you trade and visit each other, these 3 days prevent you from being stuck with a opponent or other player that never rly play. and will always link you up with active players.

You can also with the Diplomats ask other players to pay taxes, or.
for an Alliance, doing so would permanently link the continents untill the alliance is broken. wich will make the timer go back to a 3 days timer to do things. of this would make it that other players and you are not on the same 3 days time clock. to fix that if you are out of the 3day timer wich is set for everyone at the same time and etc... the explorer will simply wait at the border with a timer waiting untill its linked up with the proper all around 3 days timer wich is for everyone


you have 4 sides on a map, meaning that on a multiplayer enabled map yo ucan go to 3 diffrent Multiplayer kingdoms from 3 diffrent players and 1 side of the map brings you back to one of your own continents weither its Multiplayer enabled or not.

you can also never enable Multiplayer mode if you don't want it in a far continent but than the next continent will always consist larger groups of vikings, Dragons and rival acting Kingdoms, after 6 AI based continents you will be met on the 7th continent with A Viking Kingdom. and on the 8th continent the land of the dragons. wich may could include a mother dragon or a "end boss"


the further you go in the continents the harder it gets an the more changes your troops and people will accasionally fail making a settlement, wich makes it VERY importand to get a trade rout going between all your continents in order to supply the fight and struggle of the furthest Base.

in total you would have a LOT of freedom, many ...MANY continents you can go to, all having different difficulty levels. option for Multiplayer or not. how many you enable Multiplayer on is all up to you. but do note that Multiplayer Continents Can be attacked and taken away from your power into the hands of another king/Player
