Description:

Centre-Earth is a grand-strategy game in which players control the various
nations of the fantasy world of 'Arda'. Yeah, I know it's not original but
I like the name.   :)	Each turn in Centre-Earth represents a month and
turn-around time is approximately five-six weeks.  The game is free and is
run via email as far as is possible in order to speed turn around time and
reduce costs but players without this facility are also welcome.  At
present we have filled the main positions but can accomodate more.  The
game world is very detailed and each player has the potential to influence
any aspect of his/her country that they like - religion, politics,
military, magic.  You start by using a points system to design a detailed
character as your country's ruler.  Check out our website for detailed
descriptions of each country that you can play plus maps, rules and
everything else you could possibly need.  There is also an active egroup
that can be accessed from the main site.
