Best Multiplayer Farm Games
Farming games really hold your attention. It’s the best way to play idle while doing other things in your daily, busy life. Popular games like Stardew Valley burst onto the scene, and ever since people have been looking for the next best thing.
Every new farming game won’t be another Stardew Valley, but the one thing many people want in a farm game that’s often hard to find is multiplayer. Though this isn’t an action-heavy genre, there’s a lot of relaxing fun to be had with close friends or even family members.
There are only a handful of farming games that actually support multiplayer, but they do exist. With these games, you’ll be able to take a load off after work with your significant other or best friend, put on some music, and get to planting and harvesting.

How to create a farm (new account) ⋆ Secrets and subtleties of the game War and Order
Posted on
Today we will talk about the creation of a farm from A to Z. About the need for a farm and methods for pumping it was mentioned by us earlier.
After all, any successful player has at least 5 farms, how to create it, we will consider below.

- Switching from a farm to the main castle:
- P.S.
What is a farm?
The farm is essentially the same castle, but developed differently than the main combat one. Its task is only to extract, collect and accumulate resources for your main battle castle.
You can take resources from it using attacks. That is, you will rob your own farm as the main castle. Read more how to clean the farm.
Creating a farm in the game
To create a farm you need to go to the main menu and press the «new game» button. See image:
Next, the game creates a new castle that will be your farm. Come into the castle and then pump it like a farm, we talked about how to pump farm earlier. But now we need to link it to the account so that we can switch from the main castle to the farm and back.
Linking a farm to an account
Linking a farm to an account is very easy if you have space. In war and order, only 2 castles are placed on one Google or Facebook account. What to do if your main account already has 2 castles, and you need more farms.
We will look at the example of linking a Google account
Select the main menu item «Link account».
Scrolling down, find the line «Use another account»
If you have another Google email ready (for example, pre-created on the page for creating new Google accounts), then at this stage enter its username and password.
If there is no ready one, you can create it directly from the game. On the “Login” page that opens, at the bottom left, there is a small inscription “Create an account”
|
Sequentially fill in all the columns on several pages and click «next». You will have to enter:
- First name, Last name
- Date of birth and gender
- Choose (or create your own) a new Google email address
- Create a password and confirm it
That’s it — your farm is tied!
Remember that creating a farm takes no more than 5 minutes, do not be lazy and do not neglect the rules, make at least 5-10 farms — this will then bear fruit .
How to protect your accounts will be a separate article.
Switching from farm to main castle:
To switch from farm to farm or main castle, just go to the main menu and click the “change account” button, then select the account you need and go into it.
An experienced player always has at least 20 Google accounts.
Do not give your account login and password to anyone, locks can be stolen!
P.S.
I will add that in this way you can create not only a farm, but also an additional castle for any other purpose. For example, a sub / twin, a stub, and even a castle in another kingdom if you want to play both at once.
