In our original box game, "Sword of Aragon", we had one month turns with attrition running between 1 and 15% from December to February. That is, each step an army took "rolled" to see how many men they would loose in the army and each leader would have the same percent chance to perish due to attrition. Usually, a player hunkered down and sat tight inside his city.
This, will in some way, be implimented into Aragon Online. In AO, we use weekly turns and play on three map/clock levels compared to two in Sword. We don't want a player to have to click Next Turn 13 times in a row before he/she can take the army out on patrol. One thing about seasonal change. It sometimes happens durnig battle turns. The trees are green at the beginning of the battle and then half way through they change to orange. That seems pretty abrupt since battle turns are in minutes. Not a big deal, just an oddity. P.S. In Sword we also had attrition for plague, famine, drought and floods. We can do that again, but there will be more complications as our World is som much larger and diverse. Kurt |

Watch out for the peasants with pitch forks and torches. You can buy them off though by building up Arts in the Development section. City Morale and to a lesser degree, Loyalty will rise. And don't forget Magic Development if you're going to do much spell casting.

"In our original box game, "Sword of Aragon"..." YOU were the developer of one of the best game in the known universe ever?! (O.o) My God! I spent countless hours playing this : ) My friends were playing, we were asking each others "how are you attack that dragon, oh really?" I remember that sleepless nights, when i defend Sur Nova, attack trolls and looking for quest points. That was beautiful, thanks! : )

Yes, we were. Hence the name of this game: Aragon Online. There have been a few changes from what we did in Sword, though...

I can still remember the message, "You have found Trollhome!" That was a battle that got the heart thumping! Of course Tetrada was a monster battle.
