<Eventual site of an introduction at some point>
This is a game in which each player will control a civilization of their own to lead to its glory or death upon a hex-grid map. There are five selectable races to choose from, each one rolled off of a set of charts I created awhile back. I should note, some of the stuff can become a little odd using those.
Note: There is a maximum of 7 players for the game. Not all races need to be chosen for the game to start. This will be "first application filled, first in", so no reserves.
