Armies mass and navies gather, pitting general against general and steel against steel. Who will be victorious? Will the Ottoman Empire finally break the Christian armies arranged against it? Will England colonize lands much closer to home? Will the Papal States move from tending the kingdom of God to tending the kingdom of man? Or will Vikings turn out to be as good at conquest as they are at pillaging? The choice is yours. <p>Aevum Obscurum aka Das Tausenburgenspiel is a free online turn-based multiplayer strategy game, where you take the reigns of a budding empire and struggle against fellow players for control of Europe. In one game, up to 50+ players vie for supremacy, but only one can be victorious. Every game you win pushes up your score, until you don't just dominate Europe, but also your fellow players. Then all will be in your shadow and not just peasants, but even kings will worship you! All this can be yours, but only if you triumph. <p>So, will your place be in the history books or in the mud? Will you govern or will you grovel? Do you have what it takes to rule the known world? Join Aevum Obscurum and show us what you're made of! Aevum Obscurum 2.5.0 new Aevum Obscurum
