(I just know someone is going to make a rapper...)

Alright, this is going to be a mix of a suggestion game and a character-driven game.  In the 'Geoscape' mode, it is going to run with turns lasting 2 weeks at a time in a suggestion game format, though with the characters forming a 'board of directors' to decide the path that is going to be taken through IC debates.  From time to time missions will occur, and any number of people may leave on them; however, since the early staff is formed of only players, those that go out on the mission will lower production of whatever they were working on.

To change things from the standard of fighting an enemy with modern weaponry, this is going to be set during the Dark Ages of Europe, specifically, the year 900 AD.  The below map may not be entirely accurate, so if you can find a more accuate, please link me to one.

While I originally thought of allowing to use other areas of the world, I decided to have it set to Europe for two main reasons.  One, the feudalism prevalent would allow for an easier ability to hide an organization, as well as having there be a fair deal of chaos.  Two, the mythology is a bit more familiar than the eastern mythologies, making it more likely for people to have a general idea of creatures that are being mentioned.

As said in the title, rather than fighting aliens, you will be fighting creatures of mythology.  In this alternate history, at this point in time, the various creatures have begun forming coordinated attacks against various peoples.  Taking note of this, a few low class nobles have decided to create an organization that will find out about why this is occuring.  The place you start at will be decided in the sign-up sheet below.

Technology is going to work differently in this, since the mythological creatures would use natural weapons innate to their being.  Instead, advances will be secured through study and usage of various artifacts.  Eventually, you will be learning how to replicate and mix artifacts, effectively creating new technologies.  Beware, your enemies will start using artifacts of their own later on.

Equipment will fall under one of four categories: swords, spears, axes, and bows.  Each has their own overall advantages and disadvantages, but having further depending upon the model.  In addition, you can also have units mounted on horseback.  Mounted units move faster at both the Geoscape and tactical levels, but are more vulnerable.  Equipment stocks are to be given on the first turn.

Support and income works a bit differently.  You are only able to operate within areas that support you, meaning that you have to secure contact with more nobles to go to other locations and gain more artifacts.  As you rise in influence, you are able to contact higher and higher levels until rather than asking nearby estates if you can go to them, you would be in contact with the leaders of countries, some of which coming to you rather than having you go to them.  As I said, income works by rather than gaining money (at least, at this point) you would ask supporting nobles for specific supplies, and they would give you what they feel comfortable giving you.

If any clarification is needed, please ask.  I just know I messed something up.

Can I use crossbow? I like the idea of powerful weapon that take longer to shoot and reload.

I'll include them.

We have quite a few organizations. When do we start voting? A few of us will have to make character changes in response to the result.
