TunaWars 5.1 — The Satrap and the Dark Ages PLAY AS A SATRAP • A new seat beside the Ruler: govern a distant province for a realm you do not rule. Choose Governor on Quick Start, or Satrap on the Your Seat page. • The province is yours to run: its cities, its stores, its treasury and your own hosts. Recruit, build and march as a ruler would, inside your province. • Your patron takes a share of all it yields, and sends you its aims. Serve them, or withhold the share and spend its trust. • When a rider brings your recall, obey and hope for another post, or refuse and rise in revolt: the province becomes a realm of your own, and you its ruler. • Or defect, and govern the province in another crown's name. • If you die, your heir takes the office. There is no turn limit and no victory: the game is to endure. • Each people has its own word for the office: Satrap, Proconsul, Nomarch, Earl and more. THE DARK AGES • A fourth age: castles and men-at-arms, elves, dwarves, gnomes and orc hosts, in an age of steel and stone. No magic: the same war of couriers, supply and sieges. • Seven peoples of men stand beside the elder peoples. Choose a line-up — Kingdoms of Men, Elder Peoples or The Whole North — and set the share of men on the slider. • Old feuds: orcs and the elder peoples hate each other, and a people ruled from abroad is hard to hold. • New ground: marsh, tundra, glacier, badlands and jungle. • Every unit has its own painted figure, and the era has its own art, from the markets to the Court. • Your chronicle is written in an early medieval hand. AND MORE • Ask a neighbour to feed your army on its land, and revoke what you granted. • Operations on the Court: follow a campaign from its first order to its review. • Armies carry rations, and orders already on the road are shown. • A historical war shows its aim on every screen. • Your standing among the realms, told in words. • The tutorial teaches each kind of decision when it first comes up.
