ANNOUNCEMENTS AND GM COMMENTS
Welcome to Lords of the Earth, Campaign 19! This is a game of empire building set in an historical setting. You will have the chance to control the rise and fall of empires through political, economic, military, espionage, and religious activities. Since this is an open ended game, covering a span of centuries, you will have the opportunity to do pretty much anything you can imagine.
I'm shooting for a 4-week turn-around for this campaign - three weeks for you to submit your orders and one week for me to process them. I have allowed extra time before the first turn to ensure everyone has enough time to get the rules, maps, etc.
Feel free to change the names of your nation, ruler, etc. at will.
If you want to submit material for the newsfax, either as the "mouthings of the emperor" or as background material to help me write things up, by all means do so. However, I reserve the right to make necessary changes.
Religious Primate: Will not allowed until turn ten and beyond.
Secret Empire: Will not be allowed until turn ten and beyond.
HOW NATIONS ARE SELECTED
The selection of nation for this restarting campaign will be as follow.
First come first served. Since there are enough nations to go around are
no one will be over looked please send in your top ten picks.
Now for anyone really crazy enough who want to play two nations it is
available for this turn and this turn only. After that No one can start
a second nation what is ever. The one ruling on two nations is as follows;
if you are playing a nation in the Old World you are only allowed a second
one in the New World. If you have a New World nation then you can only play
a second if it's an Old World nation. No, exception will be made. And the second
nation is due after all the first picks have been selected. So if you wanted a
second nation and did not receive one in the email it,s due to someone else selecting
that as their start nation.
