Kiss my ass.


Said Vic Davis earlier today, when we asked him for information about his new game. Actually, that's a lie. It's called Solium Infernum and it:

QUOTE
Is a simultaneous turn based game

Has an adjustable limit on what you can do each turn (2-6 major orders can be issued)

Is played on a hex map that wraps i.e. there are no borders or “safe” edges

Has a simplified movement and terrain system (passable or unpassable hexes)

Has a resource system based on choosing cards with icons that are offered to you from some group

Has assets that you deploy to a game board called legions

Has you bidding in an “Infernal Bazaar” each turn with resources to win the services of these legions

Usually lets you see all agents on the board

Lets you control key locations called Places of Power

Lets you customize your starting position by designing your own Archfiend

Lets you level up your Archfiend in 5 Attributes and their corresponding Powers by spending resource cards

Has a diplomatic system that channels conflict in a controlled manner

Allows you to covertly stab somebody in the back

Has a single currency called Prestige that usually determines the game’s winner after a set number of turns

Has Public and Secret Objectives that players can attempt to accomplish which often result in a Prestige bonus being applied at the game’s conclusion

Allows for multiple ways to win the game

Can be played with other humans via PBEM or hotseat

Can be played by yourself against AI’s

Is supposed to resemble a board game
