Description:

Medieval Diplomacy is a dynamic game which has no predetermined goals for
the players.

You as a player run a country which has all the details one would need in
order to interact with the rest of the Known World.
This includes the economics of your country, military (army, navies,
fantasy creatures etc.), covert agents (spies, assassins, sabotuers, rumor
mongers etc.) just to name a few things.

The game is dynamic in nature allowing a great deal of freedom for the
player to create many of their own ideas and plans including their own
spells for their spell casters and new R&D ideas for their people to
pursue.

In order to play the current campaign a player must have Excel 97 or newer
on their computer.  A players country file is on an excel spreadsheet.
Furthermore a player must be able to access the website to keep up on
communications between their country and other countries.

The next campaign will be all web-based and we will have finally done away
with spreadsheets.

If you are interested in checking out the game go to
http://www.imagisite.com/mdiplo/
Most of the site is password protected to keep players out of each others
game information but there are some open areas for non-players to view
such as the Gazette, Newsgroup, Political Relations etc.

New players may join during the course of a campaign and will be offered
either empty existing countries (no player running them currently) or will
be allowed to create a whole new country if the maps have not reached
their wrap-around size.  Contact the GM at gamelord@imagisite.com if you
are interested in joining a current campaign.
