My first day:
February 22, 2019 10:10 AM:
And now, at this very moment, your divine strength cuts through time, energy and space. It flies through thick clouds, mountains, buildings and trees to penetrate a mortal human body, giving me unprecedented super power to enable me to perform, defeat and create in the name of my mighty god. And just like this, most ordinary, unremarkable and sometimes boring people became heroes. Now… almost there… one more second… yes! Here it is, the glorious moment: birth of the hero! I hope you chose the right candidate…
10:24AM Hooray! I’ve reached level 2!
I’ve gained a new level! Way to go! As a reward, I have completely restored my health and your godpower. By the way, Almighty, did you know that there is a lot more to this game than just reading the hero’s amusing diary entries? I can have a personal motto starting from level 7, battle other players after level 10, join a guild after level 12, acquire special skills starting from level 15, and tame a personal pet from level 18.
10:39 AM I got my first charge for the Godpower Accumulator!
Each charge will instantly restore 50% of my godpower. It could be very helpful the next time I’m is in a fight with another hero or a strong monster. Almighty, there are many ways to charge the Godpower Accumulator: I can get a charge by converting 100% of my godpower into 1 accumulator cell (up to 3 accumulator cells can be charged this way); starting from level 5, each level up adds one charge; I can be rewarded with accumulator charges on special occasions…_
10:39 AM My first piece of equipment!
Wow, a small twig! This thing will match the rest of my body armor perfectly.
04:16 PM My first quest is complete!
Not sure why I did that. I just liked the sound of it.
I’ve finally managed to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. My titanic efforts were rewarded with a golden brick and some pocket change!
My Second Day
I have just earned my first achievement!
My most interesting and outstanding accomplishments can be seen on his personal page. Achievements come in various ranks and flavors and there’s even an achievement for how many times I have died.
09:44 AM
You just tried to send a message to your follower, Gracious One. Voices from the heavens are quite out of the ordinary from my point of view, so I will always record them in the diary. Unfortunately, due to the noise, my laziness, and the clamor of voices from all the other false gods, audibility is poor down here. So don’t be surprised that I don’t always obey your orders.
My Third Day
07:15 AM My first Arena battle!
Notes from the arena: After mandatory equalization, Dolt The Useless and AuSk look at each other appraisingly. The audience watches with anticipation.
07:29 AM AuSk has been defeated.
And so it will be with all the others!
07:29 AM Notes from the arena: AuSk surrenders.
Dolt The Useless definitely fulfilled his god’s expectations today! Extra gold prize collected by the fans for the winner is 10108 gold coins. I got richer by 1292 gold coins and a golden brick. As a sign of heroic solidarity, I returned 257 gold coins to my rival to buy medicine. ➠
09:59 AM My first boss-monster!
I just encountered a boss-monster! These are the strongest and most dangerous monsters in Godville and fighting with them occurs in duel-like mode. I can meet a boss at the end of a mini-quest or in the field by digging out a boss lair by following a god voice command (underground bosses are usually more profitable). Bosses often have special abilities that give them special powers or make them immune to god influences, Great One, so make sure to check out boss stats to adjust fight tactics accordingly. Winning over a boss will lavish me with valuable loot and an achievement, while losing to one will cause me to use some gold to pay for escape.
3/5/2019
Joined my first guild: Asylum!
3/7/2019
7:01 PM My first arena loss
Notes from the arena: Dolt The Useless is unconscious. Kalona kyr successfully fulfilled the goal of praising his deity! The winner got richer by 1056 gold coins and a golden brick. As it was promised, the loser gets a great consolation prize – three gold bricks.

11:20 AM
Mighty One, here is a new thing for you — Third Eye.
In the process of building a temple, I have unlocked the Third Eye — a new divine ability to see and capture the most important events in my life, even if those events were hours or days ago. The Eye extends its range as temple construction progresses, showing you even more nuggets from my adventures.
03:04 PM
Harder, better, faster, stronger… I’m level 14 and I’m loving every minute of it!
I’m famous enough for Godville’s archivists to start keeping track of my personal progress. On a special History page (link is on my personal page) you can find graphs showing the progress of levels, bricks collection, pantheon rankings and much more.
3/13/2019
06:39 AM
I won a duel against a highly-ranked opponent today!
Notes from the arena: World Guardian is on his knees. Dolt The Useless salutes to the heavens! I received a gold brick and 2845 coins. ➠
3/15/2019
10:03 AM Wow, 15! I don’t get older; I level up!
By reaching level 15, I have just unlocked the Ideabox for you, my lord — a special area with other gods’ idea submissions. You can vote for the ideas you like and if you do it regularly and with care, I will start restoring up to twice as much godpower with town prayers! Besides, you can also edit Godwiki articles and I just got my first special skill. I’ll sometimes use it to improve my attacks, trading or transportation, and might occasionally swap it out for another.
10:03 AM Hooray, I learned a new skill: “tin throat”!
3/21/2019
03:19 AM I got a new achievement – “Hunter, 3rd rank” for killing 5 boss monsters!
3/26/2019
06:51 PM
The world of Godville is vast — it has plenty of towns, fields, forest and rivers for your hero to explore. You can oversee my travels on the map. Sometimes I learn about certain promising points in the area and put them on the map. Upon reaching such point I will usually find something useful.
06:52 PM Hooray, I learned a new skill: “somersault squatting”!
11:51 PM My first pet!
I looked into the kind eyes of the vanquished monster and suddenly decided — Significant Otter, you’ll be my pet! And I’ll call you Tige. Bandaged his wounds, gave him a treat and fastened the leash.
3/29/2019
07:35 AM I have a personality!
Personality has a big impact on my activities. Normally, heroes tend to be neutral. However, under your influence my personality changes. Encouragement makes me kinder; similarly, punishment makes me evil and angry. Good heroes tend to heal faster, but evil ones tend to inflict more damage.
3/31/2019
I got a new achievement – “Dueler, 3rd rank”!
7/18/2019
Tige got knocked out today!
A pet can get knocked into unconsciousness by trying to save the life of its master. A hero has 60 hours to heal the pet by sacrificing large amounts of gold during a prayer (fast healing within 10 hours can even boost the pet’s level). If a hero won’t heal the pet it will come back to its senses by itself and continue to help the hero in his travels as before, but without a level counter, nickname and pantheon ranking. A god can set a levelless pet free by canceling the “extend pet registration” quest that the hero will embark on occasionally.
9/22/2019
11:55 PM Hooray! I finished my temple!
My face must be glowing like this golden temple I just now finished for you, Terrifying One. I have to say, it does look great! With a temple I will have many more gold coins and my god will receive occasional accumulator charges. This unlocks some new possibilities: 1) get an experience boost by sacrificing gold in the temple; 2) send me into a dungeon to search for treasure; 3) raise a pet until level 30 and unlock the Taming Achievement and medal; 4) help my guild to gain influence in towns with miracles; 5) perform personal miracles in towns and recruit believers for your hero; 6) duel in arena and strike fear into the opponents with miracles and almost unlimited godpower; 7) save gold coins for retirement; 8) lots of other things that were harder to do before.
9/24/2019
My first dungeon!
A party of heroes may descend into a dungeon to search for vast treasures, loot, traps and bosses’ lairs. We can wander in ZPG-mode, but a wise god, such as yourself, Great One, can help us with direction voices. Pay attention to the hints in some rooms, and don’t forget that more skillful bosses tend to live closer to the treasury. There are three ways to come out of a dungeon: 1) by finding a treasury; 2) via the entrance or by not finding the treasure in 100 steps; 3) using emergency rescue for a fee of half one’s gold and artifacts, if the party is too injured to continue exploration.
Success! My first log of Gopher Wood!
What should I do after finishing the temple? Build an Ark, of course! Since proper arks can only be built with special gopher wood, it’s time to procure some from its sources. First, it’s known that traveling seamen from far away places can sometimes leave a log of gopher wood in your temple. Second, I can receive a whole pile of logs for completing an epic quest. And, finally, Godville’s dungeons are rumored to have some gopher wood in their treasuries.
12/30/2022
My first ark!
Is the Ark ready? Congratulations! Now what? First of all you get a new big and shiny medal. Secondly, the arks were known for storing and collecting various creatures, which means that from now on your hero can have multiple pets. Following a god’s command, the hero can leave his current pet in the ark and head for taming another one (with twice more options to choose a pet from). Thirdly, a god is finally powerful enough to rename any pet of his hero. New pet related controls can be found in the pet’s block. But enough about pets — now you can also send your hero to sail!
A new goal!
Your amateur angler has found something in the water… and it looks like a living creature. Apparently, your hero has read some ancient scriptures and realized why he needed the ark in the first place. All along he was meant to take preventive measures and preserve at least some pieces of Godville’s fauna by packing pairs of male and female creatures into his ark. Since female monsters are not something the hero has ever seen on land, he might get better chances in the water. Did he fish one out just now or did he get one from the sea?
Sail
Ahoy, young explorer, and welcome to the sea! Several arks can go into one sail, but they move completely independently from each other. A hero can be helped navigating his ark by tapping on a tile next to it. Tap and hold a tile (or hover your mouse over it) to know what it has. Pay attention to the ark’s supplies — once they’re over (or after 100 turns) the ark will be evacuated. To finish the sail without loss make sure to leave the area via port or any edge of the map. But first, try to find a booty (animals ♂, ♀ or treasure 💰) or at least something (crates 📦) by searching islands and defeating sea beasties. Make sure to read the sailing manual under ‘Learn more’ link. Fair wind and smooth sailing!
