I can vouch for the game. And Mark is a great moderator too. One of
the few that makes consistent modifications to the game based on
players suggestions. He has a discussion list he keeps on top of where
ideas and questions are shared. You can almost always receive a
response from him within a day (which is crucial since the orders are
tricky and a new player will make LOTS of mistakes). And for a
commercial game it is extremely low priced without conceding any of
the professionalism.

Thanks Mark for a great game!

P.S. As a Christian I have trouble playing in games where you summon
demons or worship gods, which it seems EVERY fantasy empire building
game out there has in it. I really appreciate the fact that Mark
spawned Iron Kings, a non-magic version of Eldritch, which still has
the heroic medieval style without the magic. I even named my faction
"The Followers of Y'Weh". Heh, heh.
