Land Wars
« on: August 22, 2018, 11:51:50 am »

I advise making your civilization somewhat unique from your generic medieval empire. I am not strict at all on themes, so go make your kingdom whatever you want it to be themed after.

DISCLAIMER:
Quote from: The original post
Your theme can be absolutely anything and is encouraged to have a theme that will stand out
Therefore, if you aren't willing to play a game where people have no limits with their civilization's themes, maybe you can create your own but with very strict theming, only allowing civilizations that existed IRL.[/b]


Hello and welcome to Land Wars, a forum based grand strategy game! In it, players create fictional high-fantasy nations and send their armies after other players in an effort to conquer the world, or failing that, each other. It's a ton of fun.
 
If you're new, welcome, and read on; it may be a lot but I promise the game is less complicated than it sounds and it's absolutely worth it.
 

You can now put your pitchforks with "TL;DR" engraved onto them down, the wall of text just ended.
 
If you want to join, PM your day 0 update! The deadline to do so is September 1st, after which point the game will start.

(Replace the placeholder fields with something else.)

Descriptions of any notable completed projects that aren't really self-explanatory ("mass produce healing potions" for example) go here. This would be the best place for projects that involve building a fortress/structure or any project that requires additional explanation.

Players can choose to leave this area blank. This is an optional space where people can put things such as the history of the kingdom, anything roleplay or in-character related, or it can just be a few random notes about your army and kingdom.

I've accepted frostgiant's day 0 update, so I'll wait until he posts it before I add the day 0 update to the second post.

Hmm, not sure this is a game for me, will definitely want to see it played first, so I won't be joining in, but I will be watching with great interest.

Considering the sheer freedom available to you guys, I'm hoping to see some proper unique or out-there factions. If I don't then I may just have to force myself to man up and make my own next time a Land Wars game comes along.

Oh, well I'm pretty sure you didn't use the exact update template at the bottom of the OP.

I read almost half of the intro post before I realized that the GM was 0cra...

To the person who needed a hiatus because two sentence long updates once per day was, and I quote: "Too much going on in this game" in Demigodhood Multiverse... I feel I must ask how exactly you intend to handle this game before I go to the trouble of making an application. It looks like much much more than two sentences of updates per day is going to be involved in this.

Edit: Ok, I'll admit that this is a lie. I'm filling out the application just for the sheer love of versatile applications. But I still want to know your plan for this.

Nngggh, alright, I'm caving. I want to make a faction for this, the problem is figuring out which idea I want to use.
