Anyone here played this game? It's an idle game on Kongregate, where instead of just clicking and grinding for generic upgrades, you play as a specific faction.

When you start the game, you get to choose from 2 alignments, Good or Evil (as well as an unlockable third Neutral alignment). Good focuses on active playing - clicking, casting spells), while Evil prefers idle gaming - production comes mainly from buildings, some factions are affected by being offline. Neutral is a versatile alignment, no focused on either idling, or active play.

There are 3 "vanilla" factions for every alignment and a "prestige" one except for Neutral. Prestige factions stack on regular ones.

Almost every faction has its own currency called "faction coins". These are used to affiliate with a race, buy its specific upgrades, or spent on a Royal Exchange, which is an additive 10% boost to all buildings. These coins are generated by your faction coin chance divided by 100.

There are also unique faction spells, achievements (here called trophies) and heritages - an upgrade unlockable once you purchase all tiered upgrades for a certain faction.

The main way you advance in this game is by generating gems, which are added when you "Abdicate" - a fancy term for a New Game Plus, as well as a progressively expensive "Reincarnation" - a New Game Plus Up to Eleven. Reincarnating wipes out almost everything except your trophies and unlocked factions. At certain Reincarnations, you receive perks, activating when you buy the "Reincarnation Power".

All factions have strengths and weaknesses, which can be taken advantage of once you have access to Mercenaries - an elite group of people from all races, able to mimic every other faction there is.

I´ve played it, and I still do today.

Notes, notes, got to keep notes, otherwise I'll not be able to think of anything.

Been playing it for a few months now, in between 7 days to die and don't starve...pretty fun idle game, with enough options, upgrade paths, and variation to keep the Skinner box doing what it does best.
