Empire
It has been a long time since you left your homeland. For months you have been wandering around, looking for the perfect location to settle and create your empire. On your way you encountered people with the same goal you have had for all this time: creating the largest empire of world. Knowing these people will not bend the knee for you voluntarily, you decide to conquer them, one by one.
The game introduces two new phases/elements to the world of Knights and Merchants.
Nomad: Instead of starting with your warehouse out on a fixed location, you start with just a scout. You can walk around with this scout to find the perfect spot to create your village. However, you never know whether your enemies will be around the corner…!
Simply place the warehouse by choosing it from the build menu and placing it on your preferred location. Make sure to have one square available at the opening, otherwise you will not be able to use it. From the start of the map you have exactly three minutes to do this, otherwise you will be instantly defeated.
Empire: This map can only be played free for all. However, it does add the game element of creating alliances with others. How do you do this? Simply destroy someone’s first warehouse (the one placed during the Nomad phase) far enough, and he will become your ally. As you are now converted to the enemy, all of your previous alliances will be over. You will however be allied to all your conqueror’s allies.
Here are some hints & tips:
-When you try to conquer someone, make sure not to cripple his economy or settlement too much: you are killing him because you want him to be part of your empire and be able to fight for you to enlarge your empire. He will be no use to you when he has no economy to run on.
-When you are conquered you will receive a small shipment of goods and units to make sure you can rebuild your city. This is however not enough to last a long time, so make sure you get up and running again quickly!
As my map making skills absolutely suck, feel free to use the script on any map you like. Provide proper credits for the script however when you use it!
Version 1.15: Peacetime is now implemented and is always on 60min!
Version 1.16: Some minor tweaking to scouts & peacetime
