Ars Magica: Years of Conquest

Black Chicken Studios, Inc., under license from Atlas Games, is thrilled to announce the beginning of the Ars Magica: Years of Conquest KickStarter Campaign.

***

San Diego, CA – October 19, 2012 – The KickStarter Campaign for Ars Magica: Years of Conquest is now available at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackchickenstudios/ars-magica-video-game! The Campaign will run until November 18th, 2012.

Years of Conquest is based on Atlas Games’ award-winning Ars Magica role-playing game, and features a full century of simulation gameplay in a fantastic and magical Medieval setting. A faithful rendition of the original game, Years of Conquest incorporates the full Fifth Edition rules, including the legendarily powerful and flexible magic system.

The player must build their own Covenant in a time of invasion and strife and protect it from influences both within and without, if they are to attain the dizzying heights of magical power. For the first time in the 25 year history of Ars Magica, players are invited to discover the secrets of House Diedne, a powerful and enigmatic House facing total destruction.
  •     100 years of gameplay, from 1000-1100 A.D.
  •     Cast powerful Spells, in any portion of the game
  •     Plan, build and upgrade your defenses, village and laboratory
  •     A unique combat engine in which the environment plays as significant a role as the opponents
  •     Research magic, create powerful artifacts and leave a legacy
  •     Interact with a cast of hundreds
  •     Protect your Covenfolk as they live, grow, work, play and pass on to the next generation
  •     Interact with Knut, William the Conqueror and the First Crusade
  •     Make difficult judgments, each leading you one step closer to an ultimate destiny
KickStarter pledges containing the full game begin at $20, and the game, if funded, is expected to launch Q2 2014.

  2. :) You're very welcome!

    We're incredibly excited about this game. It would take me a long time to explain it fully, but suffice to say that in all the years we've owned ArM, I never really held out hope that the right set of factors could intersect and make an Ars Magica video game possible -- but it looks like they have...at least, if enough backers come forward through KS to fund it. :)
