BattleMaster & Succession Wars
« on: July 29, 2006, 07:14:56 pm »
Not so new game out there but I'm having a blast playing it...

The game is called BattleMaster.  It's a Massively Multiplayer Web Based game.  Set in the Middle Ages time period, a player controls up to three characters (but only two on any one continent), these characters are known as Troop Leaders and command a Force of men, ranging from 1 to 80 or more.  You can choose to command a legion of Infantry (armed with swords and shields), Archers, Cavalry, or a mix of Infantry and Archers.  As you participate in battles, your honor and prestige grows, which also expands the number of troops you can command.  As it stands at the moment, you can only command ONE unit, whether that is going to change or not is unknown at the moment.

I am currently only using one of my avatars.  I have enlisted into the army of Tara on the continent of Atamara.  A dozen other factions exist on the continent, and several other continents exist.  Turns only take about 5 to 10 minutes to play at the most.  There are two turns a day, each one set to go at a little after 12 EST.  The game mechanics are well thought out and run very smoothly.  They are constantly adding new content.

Check them out here:  http://battlemaster.org

A new game about to enter its Beta Stage:

Set in the BattleTech universe. (forty foot tall war machines that can take out entire cities with little effort)  This game is strategic only, the entire Inner Sphere is open to conquest, you command a force ranging from a Company (12 BattleMechs) to Multiple Brigades (thousands of BattleMechs).  Your goal is whatever you want to make it, but the ultimate goal should be the conquest of the Human Sphere.  For those with a background knowledge of the universe, the game is set to take off in 3025, as the Third Succession War is coming to a close.  Political Intrigue, Overt and Covert Military Actions, the Inner Sphere could erupt into a Fourth Succession War at any moment.  Adding fuel to the fire, all the Deep Periphery players are available, including medium sized nations at the near periphery to the Inner Sphere, to long lost smaller sized nations, to the Clans, waiting to reforge the lost Star League with the blood of any that oppose them.  There is currently no time table to the beginning of the Beta Stage, although it is expected to start by the end of the year.

There is no charge to play either game.

If you have any questions, flag me down, (At least for Succession Wars, It'd be like the blind leading the blind for BattleMaster) I wrote most of the FAQ for Succession Wars, so if its not clear...yell at me.  :)

When can you sign up to join the fun on Succession Wars? It's time to dust off my old Steiner uniform and see if it still fits. ;)

I think I might get into Secession Wars. Where is everyone at so I can find a faction?

All the units I applied for are mercs, so I can hook up with anyone...unless I get my 5th choice.  Then I'm a scurvy pirate.:)

Dracho: Check to see that your spam filter didn't get it. If that's not the case, I'll talk to speck when I see him tonight about resending it to you. Just give me the name you went to sign up with.

Carney:  I am the Mercenary Unit Khorsakov's Cossacks, at this point El Roy has not confirmed anyone else from this forum to thier positions but it looks like from sign up, that La'ra is going Mercenary, and Father Ted is going Steiner.

All right, I'll talk to him tonight, Dracho.

EDIT: Dracho, I just looked at the user list and your name isn't on there, you might need to try again.
