Description:

We are looking for new players and lurkers for the new game Napoleonic Blood.

Following up the game Royal Blood, Napleonic Blood is an ahistorical game
of city states in a fantasy setting.  Whislt it is not based in our world,
there are no fantasy races or powers or magic.	The game has a vaguely
"steampunk" feel but will basically be a Napoleonic setting sans the
history lessons

Basically each player can, at this early stage, design and take control of
a city state and then attempt to raise yourself up by trading, diplomacy,
politics and even warfare
Features of city State design:
* Pick your government type.  Three levels of monarchy, republican,
theocracy or even a police state!
* Pick your religion!  Religion is more of backgroud factor but its easier
to form ties with those of the same religion and make wars on those
without
* Fine tune your starting lands and cities.  Weigh up all your picks or
just go with the default
* Rename your lands, cities and even individual divisions or pass it on to
the Moderator

Features of the Game Itself
* At present we're looking at 3-week turnaround for turns
* Millitary units at a divisional scale.  Design your own uniforms using a
simple template if you want! Each division is rated for its expierence and
the quality of its commanding officer!
* Chart the rise and fall of monarchistic dynasties.  Simmilar to the
"Births, deaths and marriages" system within Royal Blood
* Simple but intuitive economic system.  Trade resources to form sets
* Friendly group and hand moderated.  The rulebook is a thin one because I
like to keep things flexible.

So come and join the group.  The game is still setting up and there is
room at the table for plenty more!
