The map of the Realm of Arda serves as the battleground for the first release of Kingdoms of Arcania and its initial eleven Kingdoms. Development on what will become the premier fantasy war game continues, and we hope to begin the initial testing in the coming few weeks. Beta testing will be open to all active Fall of Rome players and will be free. We are tremendously excited about the many breakthrough concepts that will debut with Kingdoms of Arcania. Some of these include:

• Thousands of possible units to command from more than 20 fantasy races;
• Single and multi-class characters including five classes of spell casters with 20 levels of power;
• Eleven fresh, exciting new kingdoms with unique, important characteristics: each plays very differently;
• New depth of strategy across military, political, magical, covert, economic and diplomatic lines of play;
• Additional player aids including pre-battle analysis to assist in tactical decisions;
• Scores of powerful new magical items, spells, and fantastic creatures;
• Single combat can pit heroes like Conan of Cimmeria against Elric the Sorcerer;
• And dozens more!
