 ach culture has its own unique
strengths and
weaknesses. Choose any of the
seven, and play against up to 6 rivals. Whatever
kingdom you choose to lead, your peasants will take on
their own identity. Each peasant has his own skills and
loyalties, from miners and factory workers to spies,
generals, scientists, and more. Treat your people well, keep them fed, give them grants and medals, and promote the best of them to higher ranks, and they will remain steadfast, loyal, and efficient. Treat them poorly, overtax them, starve them, or earn a reputation as a militaristic tyrant, and their loyalty will suffer. And when loyalty is low, rebellion may soon follow.
As your kingdom grows, peasants from other cultures will become your subjects. Whether by military conquest of other villages, or by simple persuasion, these foreigners will join your empire, bringing with them their unique talents. But with diversity comes new challenges ... Show favoritism to subjects of one culture, and watch as the loyalty of others rapidly declines. Each must be treated as an equal if unrest and rebellion are to be avoided. Lead them wisely, though, and your subjects will unite to form a mighty empire destined to rule the world. |

 ach culture worships its own
Greater Being.To win the aid of any of them, you must
first perform legendary deeds. The seven ancient
Scrolls of Power hold the keys to winning divine favor,
but the scrolls are jealously guarded by the Monster
Kings. If your armies can muster the courage and might to
defeat a Monster King and his gruesome minions, you may
lay claim to a hoard of gold and a priceless Scroll.
With the Scroll in hand, your construction workers will master the art of building a mighty temple of worship that will strike awe into the hearts of your subjects. Send supplicants to this Seat of Power to plead for divine favor, and in time your patron god will answer the call. Then your enemies will have cause to tremble before you. But beware -- yours is not the only god in the pantheon, and your rivals may find a way to summon their own against you. |
