Description:

Warning, this is not a game for beginners. It is A Geo-Political/Fantasy
War Game. Most of you are used to having a character on an adventure. This
is where a whole kingdom goes on an adventure. This game should last a
little over a year. It is a very hard, closed end game that involves very
detailed rules. They are modeled after RSI�s Hyborian War. Turns are done
every two weeks and those that fail to post them without notice are
eliminated from play. We have three Game Masters (two from Europe) and
three writers that support this game. If you are chosen to play you will
find yourself a leader of a kingdom, in the world of Fortuna, which is
something like earth was around 1100 A.D. With this kingdom you will find
yourself sending armies invading other players lands, sending spies to
under mind them, calling upon wizards and priests to use their spells.
Sending heroes to adventure, and diplomats to do thy bidding. This is a
long and tring campaign in which you can expect to feel the pain of
leadership. Were things are not going to go your way very often. You will
rule every aspect of your kingdom from monies, to units, assassins,
fleets, magic, and much more.

We are looking for players that will stick the game out even when things
are going bad. 15 players will begin in their quest for victory, while
only one can be the ultimate victor a kingdom will have it tough to go it
alone.

If you are weak or don�t think that you can stick it out, go play the
usual games that are out there. This game will take up some of your time,
and the more time that you use can be an advantage.

You must have MS Office (Power Point, Excel, and Word) or something that
can read them in order to play.
