A rotten, old, early 19th century British ship sails into the port of Dégrad des Cannes, French Guiana. As people watch in curiosity, an old wooden board slams down and a short man in a French military uniform steps onto the dock. As security enforcers march up to investigate, the odd man whips out a sword and points it at them.
An old-fashioned-looking man in his late 40s steps from an alleyway in Berlin. He seems fazed by the business of the city, but a second later turns and dashes towards the Federal Chancellery Building. People stare in shock and horror as he passes.
A strong-looking Asian man in traditional Mongolian dress rides into Almaty, Kazakhstan on a pale white horse. Hundreds of similar-looking men run after him on foot, each carrying varying swords, daggers, hunting bows, and other assorted weaponry. People flee in terror as the strange men sweep through the city.
Welcome to VFA, a map game. It is January 1, 2020. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. However, in cities around the world, some of history's greatest military leaders, soldiers, renegades, raiders, and commanders have risen from their graves.
From the afterworld, the leaders have been watching humanity develop, so they have a sense of human capabilities, technology advancements, and world politics. Now, they have made their way back into society, ready to style some old scores.
Rules:
1. No godmode or being unrealistic (Modernizing too fast)
2. The game moves forward 1 year during peace and one month during major war.
3. You can join the game as any UN-recognized nation (Senegal), overseas territory (New Caledonia), warring faction (Kurdistan), partially recognized nation (Taiwan), or a historical figure (Emperor Nero). You can also play as a rebel group or insurgency.
4. You may start with ONE historical leader of great military importance. You may choose from the list or check with me (Bosnia Mapper) if another figure will be allowed.
5. If the existence or doings of a figure is debated (Example: Gilgamesh, King Arthur, a night of the round table), whether or not they are allowed is up to my discretion.
