Hello, this will be a forum game version of Empires of the Middle Ages, an SPI game from 1980.
In EotM, you play as one of many major medieval states from 771-1467 (although I'll probably extend the game into the renaissance).
Rules are here. Ignore the expansion rules and the scenario setups as they aren't necessary to learn how to play the game and the expansion rules are broken and ahistorical.
We will be playing with slightly different raider rules to somewhat tone them down. As well, there will be new mechanics for the introduction of states different then those in the grand campaign rules, such that if certain areas are independent after a certain date new states will form. As well, the map will be expanded to add additional provinces in Poland, Denmark, and Hungary so that those states are actually playable.
Bulgaria will also be present from the game start to help counter the Byzantines. There will also be a monetary cap to prevent ridiculous amounts of money being present. And possibly more chrome if I feel like it.
Here is a game map, while I work on one that can be updated for the above province changes and add more details here:
Right now we need at least three and preferably at least 5 people.
Three people for the Carolingian Empire (it splits after Charlemagne's death into France, Germany, and Lotharingia).
Byzantine Empire
Bulgarian Empire
Everyone else will be put on a waiting list until a new country becomes available.
