Mortals And Monsters
The first of the gods appeared. Yonlu and Eeyn, sisters goddesses of primordial power and far worse temperament. The two set out to sculpt the world along their own design. Yonlu desired a beautiful world full of life and light. Mortals would live and prosper here. Eeyn wanted a world of darkness and strife. Monsters would slay eachother in the dead of night, and all would come to fear it. The two began their work, but soon came to find that their plans could never coexist. They fought. For eons the two clashed tearing at eachother and at the world the other sought to create. Their blows thundered across the heavens and struck the earth. They were perfectly matched, and this was their downfall. Given time, they disturbed the sleeping behemoth, and this was their undoing. The blind abomination struck twice, and the gods souls where shattered into millions of pieces, raining down upon the world as the beast returned once more to its lair. Yet the sister's fight was far from over. From their essence came forth Mortals and Monsters...
Mortals and Monsters is a two team strategy game set in a dark fantasy world. The goal of the game is simple, rid the world of the opposing faction. The game is split into seasons which will affect the actions each team can reasonably take. Each season the players may direct their units to take action, with each unit having basic and special abilities available. Similarly random events will occur which can affect the abilities and strategies each player can and cannot use at that time. Combat in this game will be handled by a series of rolls. Each combatant will roll against their opponent with the standard dice being 1d6 plus any modifiers from equipment or special abilities.
MortalsMortals begin the game with almost nothing and must learn to tame their surroundings, build fortifications, and research new technology so that they may survive in this harsh and unforgiving world. Mortals will spend their time collecting resources, researching, beseeching the gods, and defending their kingdom against the monsters. Cooperation will make the difference between perishing and thriving.
The mortals are weak and frail. They have oh so recently pulled themselves from the mud. Yet already, leaders rise from the masses to build the mortal kingdom.

Monsters are quite different than mortals. They do not learn, they do not collect resources, and they need for little except destruction. Monsters generate a set amount of mana per season, which can be used to either improve their monsters, generate monsters ad monster lairs, or otherwise plague the mortal kingdoms.
The monsters are coalesce in dark places, forming their bodies from the ichor of their dead god. While they are young and frail, in time the hordes will grow.
