You should make it a point to come out to Conditions of War this weekend. This war tournament event is unique and creative in many ways. If you are interested in running one of the teams or taking a leadership role on a team, you should plan to show up on Friday night, because that’s when generals and supporters will be chosen. Those roles will be important because strategizing with your team is critical to the team’s success. However, if that’s not for you, then one thing that’s great about this event is that you can show up and play on Saturday morning without having to worry about pre-forming a team. Do not let not having a pre-formed team stop you from coming to this event. The event holding team has planned a lot of content and surprises to keep you engaged throughout the entire weekend, and you do not want to miss out on it.
Conditions of War is taking advantage of the variety of spaces on Abe’s Land in Willington to run a site-wide live event. There will be battles going on, but there will also be plenty of things to figure out (like runes and riddles), wandering monsters to fight or negotiate with, and supplies that must be used to fortify your camp’s defenses. There will also be a dungeon on site that can be entered into to gain more special powers for your team. The EH team has really tried to put the decision making power of this event in the hands of the players. Teams will have to decide where to send people, and when. War maneuvers will be going on, but without gathering supplies or gaining boosts in power, that may not be enough to win the day this weekend. Team strategy will be an important piece of the puzzle. Sunday will be the culmination of the event, each team seeking to ruthlessly push back the other team into their camp using the resources and powers gathered the rest of the weekend. This should be one epic siege scenario that highlights the successes of the team on the previous day.
This event is for everyone. Although there is going to be combat going on just about all the time, there is something for everyone to do at this event, even those people who prefer to avoid combat for whatever reason. That’s so cool, because that means that this war tournament event is going to have content to engage everyone, even those people who don’t enjoy the combat aspect of our game as much. So if you’ve been eyeing your calendar this weekend wondering what to do, I really think you should make an effort to come out and play at Conditions of War. They have been working tirelessly to ensure that every player can come out and have a great time working together with a team this weekend.
