Description:

Arcadia is an open-ended computer moderated fantasy game based on a
modified Atlantis 5.0 code. Players may attempt to carve out huge empires,
become master magicians, intrepid explorers, rich traders or any other
career that comes to mind.

The Arcadia game engine has made a big evolutionary and experimental
process. With the new incorporated features, game balance and feel has
been significantly improved. Thus, we offer some really state of the art
super dupa features other Atlantis derivatives lack: hero system, fresh
magic system, hexside terrain ( beaches, rocks, harbours etc ), new combat
system, new sea movement and ship types,  some spiffy new orders for
empire managment and, of course, wild and nasty dragons!

Our games are mostly semi-closed ended, meaning that after finding a way
through a labyrinth, completing a quest or just slasing Your way through
enemy lines You may be able to fullfill the victory conditions, thus
bringing the game to an end. The actual player number depends on the given
scenario. Usually, no new players can join after game start.
