Credits:A big thank you to all those on The Hive Workshop, for use of their excellent models. I appreciate your time and work very much, so thank you =)
Now for a bit about Dying Empires
Basic Intro:
Play as one of the following factions; Teutons, Sarmatia, Spain, Huns, Greece, Saxony, Arabia, Vikings, France, Britain.
Each faction starts with a few basic buildings and a handful of units which they must use to conqueor now Town, Villages and Cities. These will dictate your income (you cannot mine gold or harvest trees). By improving and contructing a large fighting force supported by a large number of cities, you must defeat your oppoents, by destroying all of their units.
Alliances:
I decided that a more slightly more interesting and flexible alliance system was needed, compared to the traditional use of '-ally' and '-unally'.
Dying Empires uses 4 different types of alliance status, which can be changed using similar commands. Allow me to explain.
-ally (color): Creates an alliance with a player, and sharing vision.
-peace (color): Creates an alliance with a player, but does not share vision.
-neutral (color): Creates a non agression pact (NAP) with another player. Your units will not auto attack this player's units, and they will be treated as neutral. No vision shared.
-war (color): Declares war on a player, cauing all previous forms of alliance to be removed, and the return to enemies.
However as usual, both players will need to type the command (for each others' color) for it to work mutally.
Resources and Population:
A simple, yet effective taxation system is used in Dying Empires. There is no gold mines and you cannot harvest trees; they are there to make the map looks pretty =) Each Village, Town and City owned by a player will provide them with a fixed amount of gold and lumber each tax peroid (one minute). A timer will indicate when these resources will be obtained.
The use of farms (etc) is also not using in Dying Empires. Instead, each captured Village, Town and City will provide food, allowing you to expand your armies depending upon the amount of controlled regions.
Excuse the screenshots. They dont look that great I agree. I will update when I have some spare time.
The French settlement cannot hold against the vast numbers and fleet of the Vikings.
Saxony and Arabia engage to control surrounding settlements.

The game doesn't have much to offer: standard abilities, regular gameplay for this type, avarage terrain.
I would label it "Just Another War Map", as I've seen many of these before.
