Own A Color and Save a Child’s Life

Illyriad is proud to be a part of Own A Color. When we discovered the program, we took the opportunity to have some fun naming Illyriad’s colors while donating money to a worthy cause.

Own a Color is a fantastic movement started by a small group of individuals – passionate in their belief that small acts can combine collectively to save the lives of many children one child at a time. All donations through Own a Color go to UNICEF, the world’s leading organization that protects children’s rights to be educated, healthy and treated fairly.

Below are a selection of colors we have named after Illyriad. Why don’t you get involved and have a color named for you?

      

Own a Color harnesses the power of color – your contribution WILL have a positive impact on saving lives of children.

MMObility: Ten terrific titles for this nifty new netbook

Illyriad was mentioned in Massively’s MMObility column:

“The HTML5-based MMORTS will truly work on any device, as long as it has a browser. I have played it on every phone, tablet, laptop, desktop and now netbook in my home. Once you meet the community and get started, you are likely to forget that the game is actually a free-for-all PvP sandbox. … It’s perfect for a netbook. Hell, it’s perfect for any device.”

Review : ThriftyGamer.ca

Illyriad has just been reviewed by ThriftyGamer.ca

“Illyriad is a massively multiplayer browser-based empire-building real time strategy game (and a kitchen sink!). When you think of free-to-play browser games which can be linked to Facebook, you probably imagine being bombarded with advertisements and the feeling that, without ponying up some cash, you aren’t getting the full experience. This, however, is not the case at all with Illyriad. I could tell right away that this game was special.”
