Wurm in Balance - Current Year: Spring 999

[BlazerX 3]

Yes, it's back. And it's complex as ever.

I plan to add a bit more realism to this game as opposed to the game that RedSyndicate was hosting on the Wurm Online forums. It will feature the following new and existing features:

4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) instead of 2

Player-Made Kingdoms instead of flat-out villages

Random Events (such as widespread droughts, storms, or outside threats)

All kingdoms will start out with 20 villagers, and may recruit from unaffiliated (UA) groups.

These UA groups won't be shown on the map, as they are invisible and only exist when they join a player's kingdom.

Villager count to be split into 5 different classes:

Laborers

Master Craftsmen

Warriors

Apprentices

Unassigned Villagers

How you divide these villagers

Okay, this is how you will sign up to play in this game room:

Step 1: I need a few details on how you want to start out your kingdom, so PM me these things:

The name of your kingdom*

The color you wish to use to represent your kingdom. Feel free to send RGB codes if you want something specific

The name* and location of your main (starting) village (Cropped pics with village on them would be much appreciated.)

How you would like to divide your initial 20 villagers

The main religon of your kingdom (optional)

Your initial village will start out with nothing but the token and depending on your location, a few small boats, so buildings must be constructed.

Note that all currently existing villages on this map do not exist in our game.

First turn is the Spring of year 999

-If a certain resource is within your AoC, you can obtain certain perks, such as more efficient smithing, which right now have an undisclosed effect.

-Depending on how you allocate your Unassigned villagers, certain actions may go more smoothly than others

-Remember to plant your crops during the spring and summer so that you may have reserves to last through the hash Wurmian winter. (Spoiler)

-Beware of random events!
