Gods of the Ancient World: The Megagame
This product is the full package, meant for anyone who wants to run Gods of the Ancient World themselves, or anyone with a curiosity of what goes into the entire game. It is NOT necessary to buy this if you are playing in an event - your event organizer will provide you with all the documentation you will need. Look further down the page for a complete listing of all the files you’ll receive as part of the purchase.
In this megagame, most players will take the role of either a Greek or a Roman, attempting to develop the largest, most impressive empire. Some players will be building up their home region by managing their resources, building industry, and manufacturing fleets to sell artisanal goods to distant lands. Other players will be moving troops around the Mediterranean and conquering regions for the glory of their faction. Others will be taking the role of political leaders, developing laws for the betterment of their people whilst vying for their own political standings.
Meanwhile, a third faction of players will assume the mantle of the Ancient Gods - Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, etc. These players will be seeking to gain prayers from the mortals which will empower them to perform miracles and gain influence over their rivals.
