Treachery and Greed

The third warhammer-empire online campaign

“Mercenaries are disunited, thirsty for power, undisciplined, and disloyal; they are brave among their friends and cowards before the enemy; they have no fear of god, they do not keep faith with their fellow men; they avoid defeat just so long as they avoid battle; in peacetime you are despoiled by them, and in wartime by the enemy.”

The year is 2203, and the various warring states that make up Sigmar’s Glorious Empire have settled into an exhausted peace. But thousands of mercenaries still fill the land, and everywhere there is pillage and death.

With the collapse of the Marienburg Alliance, the Tilean states have again turned upon each other. Proud Remas, the remnant of an ancient empire, faces the expanding naval power of Miragliano. In Sartosa, the pirate prince gathers his war fleet. These three greater powers dominate their neighbors and seek each other’s destruction.

All three hire vast armies of mercenaries, little realising the horrors they will unleash on their own people. And all the while, greenskins raise their ragged banners and build ramshackle ships.

• Join one of four mercenary factions, and fight for profit and glory in Tilea and the Border Princes!
• Strike a balance between personal greed and the needs of your comrades.  Each player will obtain personal gold through conquest, but will depend upon the support of their fellow faction members to succeed. Bribe and betray your rivals. Assassinate princes, extort kings, and carve out your own realms. Gain titles and honors, for as long as you are strong enough to defend them!
• Expect all the features of the Crisis in Marienburg campaign to return, including a detailed map, extensive background, and special campaign army lists.
• If you can’t play games of Warhammer, you can still participate by submitting ‘fluff reports’- short stories that can be as valuable as victories on the gaming table.

The campaign begins in summer 2010.
