Information

War of the Ancients is a multi-player, strategy game. Every two months there will be a MMB (Massively Multi-player Battle). Right now, you can play a 1v1 game.

Basic Game-play:

You just need to post here that you want to play. When someone accepts your challenge, a new topic will be made. I will post a map and then you will have to choose a position as your main base. Each turn you will get some gold (depends upon your race). Then you can build additional structures (depends upon your race). There you will be able to hire units and move them to attack at your enemy bases.

I'm ready for a battle.

Me too! Let the battle begin...

Ok, choose your race.

You haven't given Gold req. for building Spirit Lodge...
Anyway, I choose Orc race.

+250 credits for winner is too much. It should be 10-25 credits.

hmm... Well I think the battles will run long so 50 credits will be good...

Battles will run long and you aren't allowed to post in the battles. So, you won't earn credits any other way.

And Master, don't post your race here from next time.

Hey... Winner gets 250 credits but loser gets nothing? LoL??

Hmm..., loser should get a little bit of compensation for such a long play.

Loser will get 100 credits.

Maintainence is completed. Games can commence now.

I'm ready for a battle.
