MP Game - Artifact Game - running 48hr qh
 

For centuries the wars of the Old Gods raged across the face of the earth. Back and forth did they war with each other until, eventually, the few that survived the bloodshed attained an uneasy peace. But over time they grew restless and weary of this troubled world. Almost as one, they left it for other planes to seek power, or make war, or for thier own mysterious reasons.

Abandoned, thier people fell into chaos, bickering with each other. Once mighty nations splintered into dozens of independent provinces, each more suspicious and fragmented than the next. Until finally a new power emerged: the Pretenders. Strongest of the servants of the Old Ones, the Pretenders have taken up the great tools and weapons of thier departed patrons and now prepare to forge the world anew with thier own vision. But only one can be victorious and truly Ascend...

The Arifact Game
In this game each nation will begin the game in the possestion of several artifacts as specified by

The Artifact List

which will be achieved through a modified .map file when the map and nation selections have been finalized. Artifacts will appear at game start in your capital province in the hands of a unit *specially designed* to drop cursed items - do not concern yourself with that.

As game host I choose the rite of first pickings http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I will play C'tis since I've been messing around with them a bit recently and never used them in MP. Probably I will get slaughtered but hey!

I claim Ryleh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Edit: I just realize that you did nowhere specify mods. In case we are playing Vanilla i take Machaka instead of Ryleh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: New MP Game - Artifact Game - open!!
 

Still thinking about who I want to play (need to research some of these artifacts first!) but definitely count me in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MP Game - Artifact Game - open!!
