    Umm... Sure, what's it about?
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Just as long as it involves
    A. Good plot line
    2. Unique Setting
    3a. Something involving war

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Well...I came up with an idea tho I'm not gonna play as I do not have the time to but I just finished reading Sea of Faith and I thought that the Crusading period(s) would be a good setting.

    You've got the Byzantines, the Seljuk Turks, Knights Templar, the Hospitalers, and many other oddities and characters that populate that time period.

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    I'm reading Dreadnought, Castles of Steel, and How Few Remain (yea, I am), and I'd prefer a late 19th century piece. I'd like something that involves the British Empire or Ottoman Empire.

    That's exactly an IH setting I've been waiting for since I got here, this is one of the greatest time periods IMO.

    The crusader period sounds very interesting. I just read finished reading the wikipedia article about the crusades. (Yes I randomly read wiki articles.)

    I'm in if it's a 'classical' IH. Just one role, not all against each other. I've got little time as it is butI know you can write a good one, Franc.

    Throw me in, and why not make it something more modern? Something with gunpowder would be interesting.

    Gentlemen,

    let`s raise the banners and gather all those who want to play a new InterActive.

    This one is going to combine elements from the successful ones of my friends Legio and Kagemusha. Yet, it will not be just a transfer into another age and area.

    First of all, there will not be one story writer, but two. I am glad that King Kurt will steer it with me and compensate my lack of knowledge.

    The game will be round based like the others. There will be 5 to 8 playable factions. There will be competition on tall fields of diplomacy, including military, economy, technology and maybe even culture and religion. It is up to you where the focus will be.

    There will be a goal: to increase happiness of your people, starting at 100%. (Which may be easier if you play a nation that is very unhappy in the beginning).

    Of course you can also loose. You can drop out of the game by loosing your title or even your life.

    Each turn stands for a period of about 2.5 years.

    I would like to have a fast game. I hope we can keep a 1+1 week period – one week for the players, one week for the writers. So the diplomacy must work on a very high speed.

    The game will start in May. The starting year will be 2008.

    This time we are not rewriting history – this time we are making history!

    If you want to join, please PM me with your wishes, your skills (military, economy, technology etc.) and the time you will be able to invest.

    See you in the future!!
