Pre-game announcement

Post by scorpion »

I would just like to make you all aware that this game will be very different from a standard BoP if you have not guessed it already. There will be a lot of room for free form actions. That said you are still required to role play your chosen character and factions. Meta gaming, such as seeking out and specifically killing a hero before their origin occurs, on purpose, will be heavily frowned upon.

The map and use of units in this game will play out more akin to an RTS in reference to the different units and upgrades available. You will be able to identify them on the map with ease when they are out of your HQ. There will be no fog of war in regard to unit movement as that is not possible on google maps, chalk it up to people talking on the street. So that part plays like a board game in that you know where the player pieces are.

If your player character becomes involved in a physical fight you will be given prompt on possible actions. Obviously you cannot pick every attack or counter-attack, but you can go in with a plan, decide what you'll do after initial strikes, and what you'll do after. Think of your character as a hero unit from Age of Empires or Age of Mythology as an example.

If you engage with your player character, you will be afforded greater insight on the operation you are perpetrating, but you are putting yourself at high risk. Characters, both villain, and hero will die in this game. So I suggest you all have back up characters or LT's in mind ahead of time that you will play as.

That said, this game is meant to be fun and different. That is my goal. I will do my best to provide that experience.
