Project "Iron Age"

We are full.

If you are playing, be sure I have your email address. Also, we will be using the Kriegspiel form to keep track of the game, taunt other players, and irritate the masses.

Mountains = 40
Towns = 12 times the number of players

Shrouded Map
Fog of War
Shroud

Game over for me. No way/too late to escape my starting island. Deep Country surrenders. Don't forget to update your mailing list [;)]

Tips i gave you did not help?
Only rifle and cargo ships in the first turns and explore in all directions.
 
I started from such a island myself in Iron Age II.....
 

[Herode_2]

That's what I did in both Iron Age games. As you said, I've lucky enough to find a land if IA2 and to have just enough time for landing units and taking a city and some villages. Things will be difficult but too easy ain't no fun [:'(].

In this Iron Age (1), it's just impossible for me to land anywhere : I found the land too late, they are garrisonned, I am far behind all other players in terms of VP, hence production, I can't do much more.

[seille]

Mhh, yes then you had bad luck indeed that too many players started too close to you.
Such a situation is hopeless.
Maybe you get a big island next time.

turn 15 on it´s way. Got the turn this morning.
