12/28/2012 - Pre Orders Now Open for Limited Editio Halo 2600 Source Code PosterPre-Orders Now Open for Limited Edition Halo 2600 Source Code Poster
Monkey Labs and talented artist Brian O are happy to announce
that PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN for the limited edition first-run print HALO 2600 source code poster.
We have hammered out all the details, and it's finally time to open this up for the AtariAge public to get their hands on
this great piece of artwork! Measuring 24 " x 36", this poster is printed on a high quality 28lb movie poster stock
and looks absolutely phenomenal. It will finalize anyone's HALO collection and makes a great conversation piece for anyone's
man cave, game room, or secret video game lair!
HOW IT WORKS: We have all the details finalized, and production can officially start now. However,
since it is a bulk pre-order, we are keeping it open for a LIMITED WINDOW OF TIME due to contractual obligations with the printer. So, the pre-order
is open for a minimum of TWO WEEKS. At that point at the earliest, we will be ceasing pre-order acceptance and fulfilling and shipping all pre-orders
we have. This depends on interest, of course, and if we get a large amount of interest, the pre-order will stay open for a
longer period of time, up to 1 month. However, the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM amount of time these will be available is 1 month. We will make an announcement if the
pre-order is extended, but for now, assume it is only a two week window.
AFTER THE WINDOW IS CLOSED, THIS FIRST-RUN POSTER WILL NO LONGER BE CREATED. WHAT YOU GET: The poster, obviously, recreated in full high-quality print plus some FUN
EXTRAS included that won't be revealed until a later
date. Part of the two-week announcement window was determining the contents of the final package.
THE POSTER PACKAGE WILL COST $20 USD + SHIPPING. HOW TO GET IN: Send a PM to Cebus Capucinis indicating you want to buy, then post in this thread that you're "in" to ensure he will see it! He will reply to confirm address, get a shipping quote,
and then give you the total to PayPal. Then, it's just a matter of shipping! He will keep everyone updated as to the status,
but when the pre-order window is closed, final production will begin, packages will be assembled, everything will be shipped
(with tracking numbers, of course).
The
posters will ship in a nice, high-durability ULine shipping tube and everything will be shipped via USPS. International orders,
have no fear, we're ready to go on it!
THERE IS NO QUANTITY LIMIT. ORDER AS MANY AS YOU LIKE! "HAVE YOU PLAYED YOUR HALO TODAY?"

12/27/2012 - Age of Game Launches New Fantasy Kommander WebsiteAge of Games launches the New Official Website of Fantasy Kommander –
Eukarion Wars.
Go to the New Official Website: www.fantasykommander.com
Short Description
Epic War,
Hexagons, Turn-Based Strategy, Boardgame, Rpg, Miniatures, Dragons, Demons, Mystery, Heroes, Kaos, and Legendary Adventures...
if you like these words you can't miss Fantasy Kommander-Eukarion Wars!
The Game
Do you remember
SSI (Strategic Simulation Inc.) and its great games?
If the answer is yes, you can't miss this game because everything
in it reminds of the incredible gaming experience that SSI created in its games. Great turn-based strategy and RPG games such
as Panzer General, Fantasy General or Pool of Radiance inspired and guided us in the development of our project. However,
with “Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars” we've tried to do better than our masters, adding depth to the gameplay,
to the story and the setting for this genre.
If you're not familiar with SSI, but you're looking for a strategy
game with an elaborated battle system, a deep storyline, and a huge setting, you probably don't want to miss this game too.
Basically, “Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars” is a turn-based strategy game with RPG elements, but it
can also be defined as a “Fantasy Wargame” or an “Advanced Computer Boardgame”.
“Fantasy
Kommander: Eukarion Wars” is an operational-level game: units approximate squads, with most of them consisting
of about one hundred soldiers, though some (e.g. heroes, dragons) represent single entities. Every unit is like a RPG character
with its own characteristics and special abilities that you can increase as soon as they level up.
The gameplay
is based on a traditional hex map, with a wide variety of terrains and units available.
The Battle System is very
detailed and itakes into account several factors, including :
- the strength ratio between the Attacker and Defender
- the
state of health and morale of the units
- the terrain and many
other factors
For all these reasons, and many other that
you will discover in the game, maneuver your army accuratelycarefully, and keep in mind that taking the right decision at
the right time in order to become a great Kommander you must be able to take the right decision at the right time.
The game features single player campaigns following an intricate plot (see “The Story”) as well as multiplayer
battles with varying objectives and several game modes. In these multiplayer challenges, the player can decide to take part
in quick battles using ready-to-fight armies, or battles preceded by a management phase where they have to strategically plan
their army taking into account varying financial resources.
Main Features
- Turn-based strategy/RPG game
- An elaborated and detailed Battle System that considers the strength ratio between the Attacker and Defender,
the state of health and morale of the units, the terrain and many other tactical factors;
- A deep and involving Storyline set in a world inspired by the European Middle Age and enriched by the Fantasy
narrative tradition;
- 4 Single Player Camapaigns with 25 Epic
Battles, 3 Heroes, Powerful Enemy Generals, and multiple Side Quests;
- Over 70 different Units to enroll, upgrade and unleash in Battle;
- Every Unit is like a Rpg charater with many stats and abilities that you can manage and upgrade;
- Incredible spells;
- Hordes
of Enemies;
- Multiplayer Battles with different gameplay modes
and objectives.
- Hours and Hours of pure Strategy and Rpg fun!
The Multiplayer System
Players can engage in several
types of 1-to-1 online challenges:
·Scenario
Relive heroic battles that made the History
of the Eukarion continent. Each player has a fixed role in the battle: the units can be already placed and some very specific
tasks have to be completed.
·Short campaign
Challenge your adversary in a sequence of consecutive
maps.
·Skirmish
Select the map and place the units the way you want. Each map has a fixed
group of units for each faction.
·Head Quarter
Both players start in the Head Quarter, with
a fixed amount of money. They can then manage these resources to build and upgrade their own army to bring to battle.
The Story The plot develops during the single player campaigns, on and off the battlefields. There are
4 campaigns available, all connected by a common plot. Three of them take place in the great Empire of Adamantia, invaded
by the forces of Kaos, and one in mysterious and unknown lands.
Players will play a Kommander at the beginning
of their military careers, thrown into a titanic battle that is devastating the entire continent of Eukarion. Successive events,
dialogues, and plot twists are carried on through the messages that Emperor Karl and the Great Council of Mages send to the
young general who will have to find out, fighting hard battles, the final objective of the Abyss.
Players won't
be alone in facing this incredible war adventure. Three great Heroes of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves, will follow and assist
them in their trials, challenges, victories and defeats.
The game has been voiced in English by Tim and Robert
and it's been conceived to give emphasis to the characters, friends and foes, that players will face on their adventure.
The Setting
We put a lot of care in the development of the setting, using a huge fantasy version
of Medieval Europe. Empires, kingdoms, history and aestetic on the map that you can see down here are the result of studies
and researches aiming at a coherent fusion between reality and fantasy following the great tradition of European epic and
fantasy literature. “Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars” shows how Medieval Europe could have been if Orcs, Magic,
Dragons, and demons of the deep abyss were real.If you want to know more about the way the lead designer of FK:EW designed
the history of the Eukarion Continent, have a look at this entry in our Dev Diary.
About AOG
Age of Games is a project created
by two independent game development companies, P.M. Studios (www.pmstudios.it) and Foofa Studios (www.foofastudios.com). Both companies have a great passion for videogames and developed several
RPG and strategy games together. We have a strong independent nature and we hope to be able to create great games outside
of the logics of casual gaming and mass market.
