By purchasing a premium account a player acquires the right to use extended functionalities of the game. The number and kind of these functinalities may change at any time. There are no other rights associated with the premium membership. The fees for the use of the extended functionalitites are determined by the current price list from L&L. Schneitler & Weiss GBR is permitted to change these prices. In general there is no right of reimbursement. The sole exception consists in termination of the membership by the carrier. If banning from the game happens due to any violation of the game rules, the TOU, or any law, then this also terminates the right of reimbursement.

Advantages of the premium account

  • The premium account can be used on all three servers, providing that they the account keeper registered with the same nick, his so-called original nick. After the registration with his original nick, each player is able to choose a different nick to play on the server, before his starting place is decided.
  • Premium players may disable the account deletion due to inactivity under "settings". However, similar to the vacation mode, the account will be deleted after three weeks of inactivity.
  • Premium players have additional smileys to use. They may also may upload their own avatars. These avatars can be up to 80 x 80 pixels and 10240 bytes (10 kb) in size. Furthermore, they can be recognized by a star at the side of their nick in the ranking list.
  • Premium star, avatar and premium smileys can be switched off under "Settings".
  • Premium players have the option to specifically select coast regions, border regions or regions, that border an enemy's region, in the fields overview under "events". This allows for a convenient way to only upgrade those regions or increase the militia there.
  • Premium players can stick a small note to each field on the map. This note, which is only visible to oneself, can be read by right clicking on the Java-map, next to the field info. It can also be seen in the field view and under events. There is a additional button to view all fields that are marked by a notice.

  • All production sites, which can be disabled (Armouries, paddocks, iron smelters, stone masons, and saw mills), may now be disabled/enabled in a convenient way by selecting all the respective fields under "Events".
  • Premium players have popups under market with graphical illustrations of the price development

  • In the chat there are special features for premiumaccount-holders:
  • The checkmark in the "Ally"-box is remembered by the chat upon reload. So if you start the chat again or open a new windows with the chat, you remain in the ally-channel. This setting is also saved. Furthermore, you can block messages of a player with a personal ignore-list.
  • On the world map, for premium players the positions of all present visible armies and ships are shown: own (blue), allied (magenta), enemy (red), neutral (white), or partners in peace or NAP (green).
  • Premium players have additional functionalities of the Java map: the player's armies, ships and spies as well as the armies and ships of allies, enemies and neutral players that are currently shown on the map can be directly selected by special sliders. There are also sliders to provide access to castles and harbours of the alliance and a slider to adjust the scrolling speed.
  • The fields carrying notes are indicated with a little scroll directly on the map. There is a field slider, similar to the slider for castles. This slider will walk you through the fields with notes. The slider is in the same location as the other field sliders, "behind" the slider for the neutral fields.
  • The premium map can be tested in the "Settings", above the button "Demo".
  • A worldmap is shown directly on the regular map. This map can be resized and made transparent to your preference. The worldmap can be closed with the "X" Button on top of it. To open the worldmap again, press the "LL" Button in the bottom right border - where the two scrollbars of the map meet.
