WarNES1: The Coming
Note: This is the 1st of 4 consecutive NESes. Each will last 15 turns like EQs AoHNES. Although there is a general plot I have developed, you will decide the details through each NES.
Story: In year is 1300 AA, 1300 years after arrival. 1300 years ago the races that inhabit this part of the world arrived on the peninsula over the mountains and across the seas. The trek was arduous and few survived, but they have rebuilt. Now nations span across this land as each try to gain dominance. A new threat has arrived however, a group of warlike creatures has arrived over the Great Barrier Mountains. They now pose a serious threat to the stability of the region. Only time will tell what will happen.
Economy:
Economy is in the form of gold and gold per turn. You need gold to buy stuff. It's different uses include: military, wonders, or technology. More on each below.
To grow your economy you must spend the amount of gold you make per turn +1.
Military:
This is probably most important thing. For this NES, there is only Army and Navy. To build it up, just choose from the units below and fashion an army out of what is available to you. Each turn represents a year, so in most cases army locations and movement doesnt matter. Exception for this is if you want to move troops across seas. You'll need boats for transport if you want to cross water (if you need to be told that you probably shouldnt be playing). Poor< Mediocre< Good< Great< Perfect. Anyways here are the units:
Warrior: The basic foot unit. poor attack and defense. 1 gold for 500
-Dwarfish Warrior: mediocre attack and defense in mountains. Costs same.
Archer: The staple of defensive and long range warfare. Poor attack, good defense. 1 gold for 250.
-Elvish Archer: mediocre attack and great defense in forests. Costs same.
Raider: strong warriors bred for combat. Good attack, poor defense. 1 gold for 250.
-Goblin Raider. Same stats. 1 gold for 400.
Horseman: the best troops around, they can only work in open spaces however. Forests and mountains hinder their effectiveness -1 each. Good attack, good defense. 1 gold for 100
-Human Horseman: great attack, good defense. Same price
Races:
Elves: The elves were the largest group to arrive in Warth and have sustained the balance of power for the last 1300 years. They however have not been able to capitalize their power as infighting has continued for a millennia. Three Elvish nations now stand at odds with each other. Elves are expert archers and can build the Elvish Archer.
Humans: The second largest group to arrive in Warath, only 150 years after the elves. The Humans settled the large plains to the north and have mastered the art of cavalry. Humans have been able to build large cities and group together inside them. Humans can build the Human Horseman.
Dwarves: They arrived only 700 years ago and settled the once thought inhospitable Central Mountains. The Dwarves have excelled at living where they are and their vast metal resources make them rich. The Dwarves are great warriors and can build Dwarfish Warriors.
