Our ongoing late medieval campaign using the Tides of Conquest unity app has had a couple of players who needed to quit. Also, several of the wars are on the verge of expanding to other regions. The campaign thread is here: https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1012788#p1012788 There's an...

I'll put up a posting, though I'm not sure people will want to come in this late in the game... For what it's worth, the big tangle in central and northern Europe is mostly covered by humans, especially if SnuggleBunnies can continue to fight for the Poles. Castile and Aragon, both non-player, are m...

And here is the latest turn: It's fogsavexml_0, which should appear as "Load multiplayer game 0." https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ghnlfksiprubyynbvu3tu/fogsavexml_0.xml?rlkey=aul752er1juijlkmvyuff3m4z&dl=0 As always, if you have trouble with the app I can go over orders with players by ...

France and England both dispatched armies to Normandy to back their contending allies. In both cases, the Normans prevailed. But while the French-allied duke won a fairly convincing victory over the English, the pro-English barons' defeat of the French was more of a Pyrrhic outcome, with a great sla...

I'd like to join. I'll try Mamluk Egyptian, 1250-1339. Middle East agricultural.

Thanks!

As usual, first the map, then the narrative, then the turn file...

I'll get started processing the turns. Sorry for the delay!

I'm set to run it for two more turns after posting battle results. Then I'll post some scores based on empire expansion/contraction and also win/loss.

That sounds good. I think what I want to do is come up with a multiplayer scoring system, but also make it so that everything which affects scores - ie, random diplomatic events - is dependent on player choices. Then I'll do a Rise of Rome-era campaign that lasts for four turns or so. I want to keep...

Ralph (Castile) will need to pull out of the campaign, so that leaves us just one battle to conclude, I believe.

The game is actually set up to reflect the ebb and flow of historical empires over millennia, and does that fairly accurately imho. The problem is, however, that a single ruler's accomplishments tend to get wiped away like Ozymandias. The lifespan of an empire is, on average, about 200-500 years. Ea...

Bronze Age 800 BC.png The world in 800 BC: A dark age for the Middle East, but a time of glory for Greece and eastern Africa. Assyria collapsed, as did Gasgan Troy. The blue Assyrian faction has now relocated to western China as the Shu state, battling with the Jin for the remnants of the Shen dyna...

900 BC.jpg 900 BC: The next of the old empires to fall were the Hittites, who were vanquished in a sudden surge of Assyrian power that saw much of Anatolia pledge nominal loyalty to Nineveh. No sooner did the Hittites collapse, however, then a new power emerged - the Nubians of Kush - who swept nor...

Bronze Age 1000BC.png Here's the world in 1000 BC. Nabatea suffered a sudden collapse and was absorbed by Egypt. (All defeated factions "reincarnate" as different realms, and ex-Nabatean faction is now the Shen, the first Chinese dynasty in the game). Troy has been rebuilt and is again gl...

Will try to wrap this up in the next week. If there are any outstanding battles that you don't think will conclude, let me know, and I can either autoresolve or extrapolate a final score.

Next will do the fast-forwarding, and see who wants to continue... Bronze Age 1100BC.jpg The first 100 years of fast-forwarding... The Gasgan kingdom extended its influence throughout the Balkans and the Black Sea region, crowding out their Mycenaean competitors. Still, their capital Troy never rega...

The Hittite victory over the rebel chieftains of the south in the woods of Kizzuwatna appears to have checked the empire's decline. King Uassurme's write now runs from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. But it is challenged in the east by the Assyrians, and to the west by the Gasgans. Will it break...

Okay - results and scores! Here is the map... Bronze Age 1184.jpg Realm sizes (2 points for owned province, 1 for ally without unrest) Egypt - 12 (from 10) Assyria - 12 (from 6) Mycenaeans - 8 (from 4) Hittites - 7 (from 8 ) Gasgans - 3 (from 0) Sherden 2 (from 0) Battle W/L (this includes auto-reso...

By 800 BC we'll start to get some very different lists. The map will be very different though. We could try three turns there, then move if there's still interest. I can advertise for new players.

Alternately I could even go another 200 years to 600 BC, where there will be some early hoplites.

They're all resolved! Sorry I did not catch that earlier. I shall process results, tabulate scores for this era, and fast-forward the world to a new era for anyone who wants to continue.
