TO THOSE THAT VIEW BUT DON'T POST, Any chance of getting a reason why not???

\\\~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~///

Welcome to Dwarvenization. Dwarvenization is Civilization meets Dwarf Fortress mixed with a few other things, in the flow of such Complicated Games with the rules are large and confusing to look at so is this one. But I don't want to scare you away. For starters you don't need to KNOW all the rules and guidelines of the Game, just need to know how to play Dwarf Fortress and Stress yourself with making deadlines with difficult to reach goals which shouldn't be too much to ask from this Community...

The Key Goal of Dwarvenization is to complete the challenges located within the Challenges Spoiler located in the second post, from there you work towards accumulating Civ Points and the Resource Points that are Rewards for completing them to extend onto your Civilization and reach the Golden Age of Nations. Which is assumed to be something like 50 to 100 or so Years of World Genning, the difference is the World Starts at Year 2 and from there you are the ones in control...

Knowing the rules is unneeded but when you have time it might be wise to look over them. Though on the Lighter hand I will go over the Simple to know and get me started Rules...

From the Three worlds located below, each player is asked to find a Nation from each world they wish to lead, while it is asked to treat it as the first round you are not committed to ONE race each round, but please pick on for now and decide from those available. After 8 players have joined and the Majority had decided on which Nations they wish to lead, a Single World is picked from either being the simple Winner of all choices or a Random choice if none lead. The World Map Save will be loaded and the Games can begin...

No matter which Race you choose, each player starts with One Capital, +5 Security and +2 Food.  You cannot develop settlements that would put your Security rating into negative figures.  For example, you could create five farming villages off the bat, but you would need to create a Garrison before you could develop further settlements. These different villages are the Actual Challenges presented in the Challenges Spoiler, you will need to pick one of these for your First Year expansion and work from there to Place and Build up the Goals that are presented by each Challenge. The one thing to note is that Each Challenge can only be placed into your First Region Map (the one that contains the Capital) with an allowance of One Tile free around each one, meaning that there is no placing a Village on the Tiles Directly next to the capital or any other Village. If there is no space in that Tile for you to Legally place a Village, you are allowed to move to the Next Region Tile that is One World Tile away from the Capital...

The Rewards of these Challenges will Fuel your ability to place more and more Challenges and even Larger ones aswell. Collecting Civ Points is a method of Winning the Round for when the Golden Age comes to Pass those that have collected the Most Civ Points are declared the Winner...

Each of the Level One Challenges have a Requirement of One year, you are only Penalized 10% of the Total Civ Points gained at the end for each consecutive year that it takes for you to finish the challenge, this fact not only causes a loss of Points needed to Win the round but also limit when you can next place a Village, where it might have taken you 2 years to reach the Farming Village Goal and it took another 1 year, he has a year lead on you thus is working on his second Village while you are in the Cooldown time. The Cooldown time is the Game's Forced year Gap between Abandoning (finishing) a Settlement and starting a New one...

When it comes the time that you have filled all Possible and Legal Positions on your Region Map, you are able to Move into another at the cost of 1 Security per Tile that is traveled away from the Capital, 1 for one tile, 2 for 2 and so on. Moving in a method that is not a straight line is counted by the amount of Steps it takes to reach your new location...

This has been a simplified Version of the Rules and should seem a little less daunting then the original, which is STILL in the process of Rework and shaping into something a lot less Scary, the First Round by the way will hold NO Player Combat as that is still in production, so don't worry about that for now. Players are Encouraged to make suggestions to the Rules via PMs and create Extra Challenges that could be added to the List via posting them here, just Copy Paste the Skeleton from any present challenge and work towards your own. Players are also Encouraged to make suggestions to possible Mods that could be used to Make their Race a little more 'Real' and easier to play then what the current Vanilla Text files allow...

Maye Now you will join??? Please...

The world becomes something and forms under the hands of Armok, slowly they take shape as the Mountains Rise and the Forest Grow, the Rivers cut through the land and the air becomes dry as the grass dies leaving sand in its place. From the nothing Men and Women of all Races awaken in this new world and Settle their Capital cities, slowly they build and form their new homes before finally turning to the Sprites that Guide them, looking to them for instructions...

Spoiler: World Map (click to show/hide)

There are worlds that Armok has created for you, where shall we start...

The Future Planets
A World where the Nations can find allies close at hand or in some cases they are forced to fend for themselves surrounded by enemy Nations...

How will you guide your people...

\\\~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~///

Races and their Civs...

The Races are of the Four Main Forces that change this world, yet there are Three worlds to choose from, it is needed to know where we shall start, and each player when they have chosen a Civilization to command will gain the View of the Region, not before but after they have chosen to guide them. As each race is Unique onto themselves, it is requested that people give their views on what additions as in Mods, Custom Workshops and Entity additions would be needed to not only make them playable but also to give them the feel of the game being based on that race, much alike how its based of Dwarves due to its name...

Well then enough of my shitty writing there. Basicly what this is is a new kind of game, players will take command of a single Civ from a Year One Gen Map where there will be only One Capital per Civ, and using the Goal List below, decide what step will be taken to raise the Civ from the Ground Up. Each Race is available to play and the best games will be held between multiple races versing each other to form the stronger Civ and either Annihilate the others through combat or just press forward and achieve the highest points after the Max Year count...

While the Game is in no way ready to start, I come to the Community to aid in finishing the plannings of this Challenge. With Iituem permission (which he had given ages ago), I will be using the rules and guidelines for each Action from his creation called 'Venturer: A Civilisation Challenge', which he reported to forgo and do something similar with adventure mode instead. What I am looking for is, Ideas and different forms of challenges. Refinement of Rules to encompass multiple players and other things...

My Plans are to refine the rules and go through them with the Community and see how things go. Oh and For Player started Battles which are possible, I was thinking of a Turnbased Strategy game, using a Fire Emblem kinda System matched with the fact you will have the ability to field a large army, which might draw a good amount of people. Some problems with playing other races are that they are all not alike, certain mods will be needed to make them more 'Real' to play and form. But nonetheless I hope this will be an enjoyable game to play...

Anyway here we go....

\\\~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~///

Right Round 1 Can start when people are ready to. It will be using World One Map, there is no mods or anything changed other then Civ Controllable tags on every race, players will just need to transfer the Noble Requirements from the Dwarven Entity segment to that of their chosen race...


I would like some feedback on the choice of possible mods for the next round, that includes custom workshops and even full body mods like Fauna and Flora mods that I have seen in the Modding section. You will have 50years to build up your civ using the Challenges provided, remember that it will take a year gap before you can build the next challenge. So in truth you have less then 50 Years...

Remember this is a full trial version of the final round, which will be including alot more then what is on offer now. Feedback, ideas and even more eyes and hands from new players area always welcome...

Dwarvenization Round One is a Zip File, it is 2.18 MB large. This includes only the Region file...
Good luck...

To see the original...

Spoiler: Rules of the Civilisation Challenge (click to show/hide)

The Civilisation Challenge

Players will be able to Choose from one of the many Available Civs that are present in the Pregenned world given to them, when the game is open for signups the Civs will be posted with their name, an Image of their general location and finally what Race they are. From here the player will be allowed to take control of their Civilization of choice and build it from there.

The Civilisation Challenge is aimed at those who have gotten used to building legendary/epic/challenge single forts and realise that once you hit endgame (200 dwarves, the king etc) there's not much left to do bit strike the HFS and start over. Though anyone can sign up. In the Civilisation Challenge, the strict targets and limitations force you to build quickly toward a goal before your allotted time runs out, and forces you to start new settlements before the old ones reach the 'played out' stage.

In the Civilisation Challenge you build and maintain multiple forts or lesser settlements consecutively within a time limit of 50 or 100 years, representing something of a Golden Age for that civilisation (or at any rate a rapid burst of expansion).  In order to build the more impressive forts (or rather, to qualify for the more impressive challenges), you need to be able to meet the 'village' challenges to build up enough infrastructure for your civilisation.

If you do not meet a Challenge within the time limit, deduct 10% of the Civ Points awarded for the challenge for every additional season taken.  Food and other resource points (and costs) remain the same.  Be aware that if you complete (abandon) a settlement after the 28th Obsidian, you will lose a whole additional year in between starting the next fort.  So if you completed your fort on the 2nd Granite 203, the next settlement would begin 1st Granite 204.

Your capital city grants an automatic +5 Security and +2 Food.  You cannot develop settlements that would put your Security rating into negative figures.  For example, you could create five farming villages off the bat, but you would need to create a Garrison before you could develop further settlements.

Bonus:  Staying true to your civilisation is worth additional points.  Pick a distinctive architectural style for your race (minarets, wood buildings only, temple or shrine in every town).  Stick to it throughout and it's worth +1 per village, +3 per town and +6 Civ Points per city.
Staying true to your race will also gain you bonus points.  For every settlement where the Construction is that which is akin to your Racial Style of Construction, Dwarves build Forts within Mountains and rarely in open plains / Elves build Treehomes and are open to the Wilds more so then any culture / Humans build sprawling Settlements aboveground and rarely dig underground nor do they Dig deepmines / Goblins build Towers and live on top of one another, award an additional +1 per village, +2 per town and +4 Civ Points per city.

Each of the Resources are used for different things. Some are for expansion of your Civilization or as Metapoints towards the End Year Goal, acquiring these Resources are important for all methods of gameplay and will be described bellow.

What are the Points?

CIV POINTS: Civ points are collected as your final tally when it comes to the End Game, after the Time Limit has passed for all players and the Golden Age has been reached, the Civ points are what gives you the edge when it comes to winning or losing...
FOOD: A Nation Crawls on its Stomach, and thus requires food to live. Some Challenges are free and cost No Food points to be used to start them, while others will require a certain amount. When these Points are used they are gone and thus need to be collected all over again with a new Free Challenge.

SECURITY: How well defended do you think the Nation is, are its people safe from outside threats and the world around it, or even from itself from within. Security is needed to advance more into the world, it can be used to advance into another World Tile or to just build up other villages and towns within those already conquered.

MATERIALS: Can't build nothing without the right Tools or Goods, nor can you fight a war without Weapons and Armour. The Materials are gathered from Certain Challenges but can cover any use that is available. While you could easily build an Army by doing small and easy challenges, the harder to do ones will net a larger amount and will assist faster.

LUXURIES: Nobles and Higher Ranked civilians require their healthy dose of fun and games, that and the pretty things that shine and lift their status. While these are rarely used in Game, they can be traded in for Trade Goods, Civ points or even to give Upgrades to certain Towns or Cities.

TRADE GOODS: In and out of a Market or Port these things travel, and having a Market can allow for the ability to BUY certain Points and develop faster or raise stronger Armies. But the Market is a Fickle thing, and sometimes your Goods might not fetch a good price. Knowing when the Buy or Sell Trade Goods can change how you grow.

TAXES: A Man Fights for a few things, Food for his Stomach, Safety of his Family and the Coin in his Pocket. A war is not cheep, and your Soldiers need to be paid. Taxes are earned from the larger Towns and Cities and are Accumulated Yearly, though are normally spent faster then they come in. You gain these also buy Selling Trade Goods and can also be used to Buy other points for certain prices.

Building you Civilization: Each Civilization starts with One Capital and One Region Tile to Build in, where then they are able to build up their Nation through completing Challenges and expanding their Points, each level of challenge presents certain limits on their size, for example a Town can be no more then 3x3 Region Tiles and a Village can be no more then 2x2, and there is a limit on how Close a village/town can not be placed next to another, requiring a certain distance, making it harder and harder to find a good location to build up for the next challenge. Expanding into another Region Tile requires a certain amount of Security to spent of conquering it from the Wild, a Watchtower is able to be used to reclaim the lost Security and mark that Tile as your own.

Each player must make use of All available tiles within a Region Map before they are able to expand into another World Tile, this means that some Nations will be forced to remain in One Region tile for much longer then others. If your Capital is in a location where it alone fits within the Region map and no other Challenge can be built, the player is allowed to look into the next available maps for their next choice, though they may only move one tile away from the Capital...

Building Challenges within a Region might seem easy but when choosing the location of the next challenge the player must allow for One tile at minimum to be between it and another...
See Example below...

To expand into another world tile, the player must not only have enough Resource Points to build a Garrison but also enough Security Points equal to the Distance the World Tile is away from the Capital. If a Player chooses to build their Nation bunched up over the space of 2x2 area with For Expansions, the cost of doing so would only be 1 Security each time they Expand. But if they chose to expand into a Tile that is 3 tiles away from the capital then that will equal 3 Security and so forth. Later on the Player will be able to move their Capital to a different location, when doing so they will need to Triple the Security Cost to move it there. If a Player Does move their Capital, the old Capital will be come a Random City Challenge...


Winning the Game

There is never a Clear winner in these games, but scoring higher Civ Points at the end of the Golden Age will rank you into a Highscore board which is kinda a Winning Goal, you can also Destroy all of your Opponents Forces and even Invade their Capital if you have a big enough Army and remove them from the board before the Golden Age will also Lift your Score...

There will be two Scoreboards, the Civ Board where you will be Ranked according to the amount of Civ Points gathered before your destruction or completion of the years. And the War Board. Which tally's your Army's size, strength and victories to rank you there.

The Soldiers of the Nations

Each Race has their own kind of unit, each strong in certain warfare actions and with different abilities. The difference in this is that you as the player not only need to worry about guiding them on the battlefield but also raising them in Skill on the Fortfield. A Young Solider isn't going to be as strong as a Legendary Warrior, nor is a Copper Equipped Warrior going to be able to fight a Steel Clad Warlord. Also to note is that when you are raising them in the Fortfield, a wounded Solider can't fight any battles so you will need to keep them safe if you wish to fight wars...

There are Five Levels of Warriors, which are represented by their Training level gained in Fortmode. A Raw Recruit who Dabbles to someone who still a Novice slots into the first one while other skill levels fit the next few. Some requirements are made on different Races on what they can and can't train as and can also advance differently or gain something another Race can not have or even use something on the TBS Map that is not available when playing Fort mode. Below is a simple description of how Skill Levels affect the Rank of the Warrior.

Equipping an Army

Equipment matters when it comes to battle, certain metal trump that of others and meaning the difference from Victory or Defeat. When it comes to Battles outside the Fortmode we are introduced to the difference between the Copper Armour and that Steel Sword are seen again, knowing what you equipped your Army in will help win the battle, but do you equip all your Recruits in Steel to give them a better chance or just leave them with the Iron gear you had made for them before. The Player has to decide and report on their Amour and Weaponary settings before a battle, and be sure that all their men are ready. Even Marksmen need to be stocked with enough Arrows/Bolts to last them the battle before they are forced to pull back or go Melee...

Building Squads

A lone unit is weak and defenseless open on nearly every side and easy taking for a grouping of foes. But a Squad of tightly packed and a group working together to face their fate is stronger then any lone soldier. Forming Squads will ensure victory and will allow the forces to fight back with more strength and defend against the harder blows. Together they stand, divided they fall...

Forming a Squad requires 4 or more units who will be locked together on the battlefield, moving together, fighting together and defending together. When placing your units onto the Battlefield you can arrange different shapes to allow for maximum use, formations or just acting as Backup units can work as one to face their foes, surrounding in one simple movement and even activating special abilities that would not be avalible otherwise...

Some basic Formations are...

Code: (Line Formation) [Select]


OOOOOOOOO


-The line Formation allows for a Solid wall of units to face a dangerous foe, they are able to fold around small groupings quickly and efficiently to surround them on all sides. They move as one unit but require a few turns to 'Wheel' around to take a different direction if they are to keep their Formation...

Special Abilities:
Shield Wall - Requires Units equipped with Shields - The Shield Wall allows for maximum defense, boosting each units Defense by that of the one next to them and so on. Striking at the center of a Shield wall will get you nowhere.

Code: (Rank Formation) [Select]


OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO


- The Rank Formation is that of Two lines working together to enforce their strength, Ideal for a Shield and Spear wall, where the front set are those able to defend well while Spears are able to strike over their allies and into their targets from the safety.  Other uses are to replenish the front line incase a unit falls without breaking rank or allowing a gap to form..

Special Abilities:
Shield Wall - Requires Units equipped with Shields - The Shield Wall allows for maximum defense, boosting each units Defense by that of the one next to them and so on. Striking at the center of a Shield wall will get you nowhere.
Hold the Ranks - Unit to have fallen from the Front Line - Hold the Ranks is a Passive ability where whenever a unit falls from the front line, another unit behind them takes their position quickly without expending a Movement point...

Code: (The Wedge Formation) [Select]


OOOOOOO
 OOOOO
  OOO
   O


- The Wedge Formation is a Penetrating attack, allowing the Squad to strike through the formations of their enemy and taking little to no damage in the process. Each unit gains a boost of attack equal to that of the unit behind them and so on with a multiplier on their movement speed. This is a devastating move when used by fast moving units like the Human Mounted Units...

Special Abilities: CHARGE!!!!! - Requires Mounted Units - Speed is multiplied by 1.5 as the unit covers the distance quickly allowing them to break through Shield walls and break apart formations. Though limited if used at a Too Far distance or a Too Short distance, finding the Sweet Distance to start a Charge requires some thinking...

Code: (The Bulls Horn Formation) [Select]

   OOOOO 
  O     O

O         O


-The Bulls Horn is a Formation that is Reflective of its name, the worse place to be is in between the Horns of a Bull for from there the Bull has complete control on where you go and how much pain you will get. The Bulls Horn is an Ambush Formation, by hiding the two Horns of the Bull the Main force is show to be open to attack, but when the enemy enters the 'horns' the horns strike and come in behind the Foe and pins them from two sides. The shape of the formation changes over time, sometimes its used by making units that appear weak as the bait while leaving Range to strike from a distance in the place of the Horns. No two Formations are exactly the same...

Special Abilities: Set the Ambush - There are no true requirements to the Formation, any Race can set one, yet its the Elves that are able to make the Formation more deadly due to their ability to do so without the Opponent knowing.

Dwarven Army
The Dwarves that we all know and love. Able to Smith the strongest Weapons but are limited by their physical limitations, but these Warriors are Bloodlusting Monsters that take the to Battlefield and keep fighting to the last man. While Dwarves are the Slowest Race out of every kind, they do make up for it with their defensive, attack and Special Martial technique known as a Trance allows them to be as dangerous alone as they are together...

Grouping Dwarves though is a safer strategy then leaving them by themselves, as the Trance is limited in what it can do and how long a unit can survive alone. The Dwarves also have the ability to bring more Warmachines onto the Field then any other Race, giving them a large ability to move them around the battlefield and fire further and stronger then even the Humans. The Earth shook when a Dwarf had the idea to Take their Siege weapons to the Field...

Elven Army
Elven Warriors are graceful creatures, crossing the field of battle faster then a Man on Horseback, added by Nature itself they can be a fierce foe if face on an open plain over the walls of a Fort. Able to go into hiding in grass a few feet tall they can strike from anywhere and then disappear just as fast as they came...

With their silver tongue and ability to commune with Animals and Nature itself. The Elves can bolster their numbers ten fold by summoning the world against their foes. While every Elf has the knowledge to talk to animals, only the Stronger and higher Ranked members of their nation can actually command and call them. The Highest Ranked Members are also able to commune with the trees and plants, bringing them into the battle aswell with a bit of Magic, it has been said that when an Elf called for the Woods to take revenge on a Dwarven Fort, the Trees themselves took up root and marched on their stone walls...

Human Army
The Humans are a resilient lot, while they are normal in every way and form of the word they have succeed in becoming one of the Major Races in the world. Able to adapt and learn from all other Races to become something which can achieve at anything they set their minds and bodies to. They are an adaptable race, using nearly every kind of weapon and can use Warmachines like the Dwarves, yet not as skilled, and even train animals to fight for them. They have even gone as far as being able to learn how to Smelt Steel using a Method that the Dwarves have long since discarded for their more up to date method. None the less this makes Humans a Dangerous force on the Battlefield...

Humans also Lack special Abilities that they can call their own, unlike the other races, Humans are only able to fight using their skills in their weapon class or mounted ontop of Horses. These horses are the only thing that is special about the Humans for only another Race rides an animal to battle yet the Horses are specially trained animals, who when under attack will not flee, will fight back themselves with bites and kicks that can shatter ribs and crush armour. Humans are specially Trained to fight ontop of these animals with great skill making them Deadly Knights...

Goblin Army
GOBBLLLLLINNNNNNNSSSSSS!!!!!
A fearful cry heard during battle which screams and curdles the blood, Goblins are a force who use Sheer numbers to Overwhelm and crush their foes beneath their many feet. It is a common sight to feel like you have killed the SAME Goblin three times over and yet he still is coming back for more. Goblin Soldiers are able to withdraw from battle and reappear again back at their deployment zone. Overwhelming numbers are their aim and they gain so much from it...

Goblins also can come mounted on monstrous creatures known as Beak Dogs, Raptor like creatures which snap and claw at anything infront of them but when one of these are downed that is it, the Goblins are also able to drag Trolls onto the Battlefields and let them loose if they had been able to capture the creature thus making them able to Smash though Gates and Walls with tremendous force. A Goblin Seige is something to fear...

Merc Army
Got the coin, need the sword. Mercenary have been on Hire for many of decades. Bands of warriors who will fight for a certain price and a costly one at that. Mercs are Multi Raced meaning you can hire them from other Races that are not your own, though they are a lot weaker then their Home Nation. They all come at Third Teir ranks no matter what but their Weaponry and Armour Qualities are a true hit and miss gamble. You never know what they wield until they hit the field fully equipped. Though their costing can influence what they are using. That's if they are telling the truth....

Looking cool, posting to follow. And if I hadn't seen the second post...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[Neyvn]

ADDED:
Short Explanation of how to Build a Nation.
River Port Town Challenge.
Begun work on Military.

[Evergod41]

I would like to join this, I will become the greatest dwarven nation to ever grace the worlds of Armok!

[Neyvn]

Don't forget that if you think you can help Rewrite a rule to be a little more clear, do so and PM it to me.
Also if you have an Idea for a Challenge post it as well.

[breadbocks]

I call a human nation.
Challenges?

Mountainhome/Capital/Dark Tower/Base Camp(If we're doing Mercs like the other thread had....)
Time: 5 Years
Goal: Build a fortress, which has defended against at least one siege without traps, and finishes more than 1000 food (through whatever means), 400 booze, 200 bars of iron, and 100 wood. In addition, export 10000db of goods, and house 100 people.
Reward: +15 Civ points +2 Food +5 Security +2 Materials +1 Luxuries +1 Trade goods

[Neyvn]

There will be Race Dependent Challenges later. Like for humans there would be Stables, Elf there would be War Animal Training, Goblins - Slaver Camps and Dwarves - Brewerys

With that challenge, I think reworking it to be Race Dependent for each one and name it something like
Reestablish the Capital.
Give a Goal to be something like have the King/Queen living there and all Nobles Alive all the time perhaps...
It would need to cost something and all Challenges are going to have a rework by adding a Cost tab...


EDIT: I hate working in Code. But it makes things look so much neater...

[Neyvn]

UPDATE:
Renamed the Title, thought that some might think that the Game Slots have been filled already and won't even look. Blaming need for sleep when writing this up last night...
Continuing with Military. Open to Ideas and such from the Community on many things...
Working on Challenges later...

QUESTION:
Should we use the Old Method of deciding the Damage Modifiers of the different metals (.40d Wiki entry) or try and work out how to use the .31 method...

[Neyvn]

How many people should I open this to and what Kind of map???
Regions
Large Region Map has 50 Civs.
Medium Region Map has 20 Civs
Small Region Map has 10 Civs

Islands
Large Island Map has 20 Civs.
Medium Island Map has 10 Civs
Small Island Map has 5 Civs


EDIT: You might be wondering why I don't put them into One Post, its cause of two reasons...
1 I forget to do so.
2 I want more folks to post and seem interested in playing this.

[Evergod41]

40d combat

medium region

[Neyvn]

UPDATE:
Adjusted a few Rules, explained End Game Results.
Finished Adjusting Current Challenges.
Added City Challenge, Reestablish the Capital.
Added Formation Details to Military - May Require additional information.
Extended on Army Details, fleshing out the Ranks and Info about Race Military.
Currently Genning Possible maps. Kobolds are tempted to be added to Race Choice. (They are visible on the Historical Map)

Map Size Chosen, Medium Region.
Number of Civs Available - Estimate of 20.
Beginning True Signups After Map Gen Comes back Positive.

EDIT: Final number of players will be influenced by the limited number, the full 20 Civs include Kobold nations, which will not be playable. Estimated number of Players are 16.

[Neyvn]

Wish people would post or something so I don't have to Double Post so much to Bump the thing with new Announcements and such....

Anyway...

UPDATE:

There will be three Worlds to Choose from, of the 16 Possible nations half of them need to be Picked out of ONE world before we can start, You can Make choices over ALL Three Worlds, but if someone posts to say that they Pick for example Nation 3 out of World 2 and he was the 8th pick from that world, World Two would be the First World...

None the less, there is a Link to see the Worlds, the First is up, while the Second and Third are being Pointed out where abouts on them the Nations are and whom they are in themselves. They will be added Blank but until all PoI are up on them it will be Impossible to Select which nation you wish to take from them...


Also to Note that Military Units are up for Discussion, and will be Updated whenever a Battle Takes place and only if they remain Empty at that time, will it be filled in. Please aid in ideas on what they will be...


World 2's PoIs have been filled in...

[breadbocks]

Looking goos. I claim any human nation.

EDIT: clarification, any humans in the World One

[oidip]

I was interested in joining the spiritual predecessor  but it faded away so I would love to join this. Could I be goblins.
