Description:

Moonbiter starts a player as a clan or mercenary group, but players with a
bit of experience can run any of the positions, from general of armies, to
city Lords, or even a titular head of one of the factions...I want it to
be player driven.

Turns are open. You can attempt anything you like. There is no 'Yes'/'No';
it's all relative. Actions will have some impact on the game.

The world is large (a full map is given as an acrobat file), and contains
many factions. The reason it is fantasy is that it has elements of myth,
which may or may not be true.

Other positions include Bounty Killers, Rebels, Imperial Dragonbloods,
Wolf Brothers, Han Dinen savages...the Federation rule with an iron fist,
Ashapur (the Silken Knot Society) still retains slavery and the Myr Addat
fight for their freedom from this. Honestly, there is so much depth. It
took 2 years to write, and has play-tested with friends for a year. The
economy is complex.

You can have fleets with warriors on War SHarks, Shrike Riders, Falcon
Riders in the Polar caps, and the Empire have legends of Dragons. The
Principality of Steel have Gryphons, and the scale of warfare is massive.

It's basically like being part of a book, and my plan is to write one
based on what happens in the game.

Battle Reports are detailed and come with a story of how the battle went.
Turns can be selected as 'quick' turns, which cost less, and the CLans get
monthly Adjustments on the 1st of every month. The game breaths!
