Hello!

We are currently developing a new PBEM game called "Kingdoms".
Each player represents a Wizard who is running a Kingdom with
economy, diplomacy and military. The game interface is graphical
and there are several features to support playing via internet.
Right now we are looking for a few more beta testers who like
to help us with good ideas ;-)
Check out our site http://members.xoom.com/king_doms/
The current version of the game can be downloaded there.
If you want to be betatester write a mail to king_doms@xoommail.com.

The game features:
- a graphical interface
- fantasy theme with spells and fantasy units (dwarves, elves)
- automatic email sending and receiving
- a global market to trade all types of goods and hire mercenary units
- 7 spell areas with different types of spells ( ~50 spells )
- each unit has skills and equipment
- a town produces equipment depending on your research levels
- units move simultaneous and combat is evaluated by commands
  (charge,attack,defend)
  and terrain.
- there are random events and artifacts
