Default New PBW game: SPIN CYCLE

Consider a typical grid map.
Now, connect the top and bottom edges, as well as the left and right edges. You now have a type of Spherical map, in which there is no boundary, and you can keep travelling in one direction forever, eventually reaching your starting point from the opposite direction.

Now, consider what would happen if all the warppoints leading westward and northward were collapsed, leaving only one-way warppoints directed south and east.

Enemies to the northwest will be able to attack you at will, and you will not be able to counterattack. Any losses you sustain must instead be recovered by taking your southeastern neighbour's territory, and your empire will slowly rotate in a south-easternly direction.


Will you be able to keep up with the whirling merry-go-round of violence?
Can you handle the dizzying geometry of rotating territory?
Which race will come out of this cosmic spin cycle squeaky-clean, and which ones will be relegated to the dustbin of history?

SPIN CYCLE - Now open to join on PBW
