Directions for Interested Players:
NOTE: The Title of the game is meant to tell you that in this game the "Bob Heeeter" E-mail etiquette rule of NOT using the "Revert" feature of WarLords is specifically annulled. That is YOU CAN USE REVERT to your hearts content! This game then is in the nature of an experiment to see what kind of FUN can be had playing an E-mail game where there are "NO Holds Barred" all features of the game can be used and humans can be humans:-). From this experiment I hope some much more practical and robust E-mail game play can be generated .... how to enhance the FUN of gaming by E-mail while feeling that the playing field stays level throughout the game!
The Scenerio will be circulated to the players before a Start to allow selection of your Capital ... there are only 4 players to enable maximum flexiblity in choice ... the computer players get what the humans don't fancy :-).
Additional Comments, Thoughts, Suggestions:
