Hey everyone,

a while back I made a group of Age of Empires II: Roleplay that ended up doing quite well for as long as it lasted. Now that Definitive Edition is out I was excited to start something new for it, set in the same universe as the previous one although much earlier. If you're coming into this as a new player no worries, I'm currently still writing the lore and we'll probably make a lot of it up as we go along, no pesky walls of text you need to read for yourself beforehand.

​

If you don't know what this style of play is, I think my description from last time should probably still apply:

​

Age of Empires II Roleplay is a game type where the chat system is utilized for in-character writing consisting of updates on nations, the interactions of key characters such as renowned Knights within your Kingdom, and interactions between factions. You send messages such as "Kingdom X begins to mobilize it's expeditionary force to venture out into the vast unknown territory," or "Kingdom Y requests aid from X to form a military alliance to curb the unhinged expansion of Kingdom A."

The objective isn't to win so much as to act out your nation in the over-arching narrative that you are all players in. And with a pre-written albeit barebones lore there's a lot of creative freedom to flesh out your nation's culture and game-to-game saves and different maps will allow a history to be built around it, with who won defining wars, and the spread of your civilization.

This is the map idea so far, and here is the discord link. Hope you'll join me.

Thanks!
