Solium Infernum (2016 Election Simulator) - pizzatiger - 11-11-2016

The Prince of Darkness has vanished and the Infernal Throne sits empty.  A conclave of the Powers and Potentates of Hell will be summoned to Pandemonium to select the next ruler of The Infernal Pit.  Do you have what it takes to claim the throne and rule Hell?

As we all know, This year's election has been called the coming of hell on earth by both sides, and to celebrate this i have decided to host of this, Solium Infernum. 
Here're some features to help sell you on the idea-

Features: 

Solium Infernum is a turn-based strategy game set in the most profound depths of Hell.
[Image: astaroth3colour2web.jpg]Assume the role of an Archfiend and customize your avatar to suit your particular game play strategy.  Choose the brute force way of the infernal warlord or tread in the shadows as a deceitful, backstabbing power broker…..or amass wealth and rare treasures to buy the throne.
[Image: MapSample_04.jpg]Each incarnation of Hell is unique and a pocket plane unto itself. Travel far enough in a certain direction and wind up where you started. Confront your fellow pretenders to the throne in all directions.

Control over 30 Places of Power like The City of Dis, The Wood of the Suicides and The Temple of Lust. Places of Power can provide you with different resources including prestige. Earn the most prestige when the conclave is called and claim the throne.

[Image: AngelicHost.jpg]Each turn a unique event card is drawn by the player currently designated as the Regent. This solemn responsibility passes from player to player each turn. The Regent can keep the card to play at a later date, discard it to avoid its effects or play it if it is to his advantage and watch his fellow Archfiends scramble to respond.
[Image: supplication.jpg]Demand Tribute from your minions on earth and use them to fuel your fiendish rituals and increase your own dark powers.
[Image: scourge.jpg]Everything is for sale in Hell.  Bid on Legions to expand your territorial holdings.
[Image: astarte_web.jpg]Hire lesser fiends, known as Praetors, to lead your legions into battle.
[Image: LesserKey.jpg]Acquire Infernal Artifacts and Unholy Relics to increase your power.
[Image: tactics.jpg]Know your place and observe the protocols of Hell. Declare Vendetta on a rival and wager prestige on how effective you are at making him suffer.  Drive him to Blood Feud, crush his legions and banish him to the Abyss.
[Image: deception_web.jpg]Deception and Lies can be as great a weapon as a legion of fiends. Frame your opponents for vindictive acts of aggression and watch them tear each others throats out.

Simultaneous turns allow you to place your orders and await the heralds and messengers bringing word of the unfolding events in Hell.Play By E-Mail allows up to six players to compete for the Infernal Throne.  AI players can be selected to fill in open slots.  Single player games versus AI opponents are also available.

This seems neat and I am interested, i will see if I can install/download it

RE: Solium Infernum (2016 Election Simulator) - Joefesok - 11-11-2016

This looks pretty neato. If you host a second round and it works with my connection I'd like to join.

RE: Solium Infernum (2016 Election Simulator) - pizzatiger - 11-11-2016

Well, then folks, After Extensive testing, I have come to the conclusion that while every single fucking outward clue pointed to only one person needing to own the game to play, it seems that is not the case. So Now everyone willing to join has to pay 15 bucks for it (sorry)


So now I have to reevaluate the tally of people willing to play. If you're still willing to play after this news please post below


Edit- Zewaka has a plan, He will post it below

RE: Solium Infernum (2016 Election Simulator) - ZeWaka - 11-11-2016

I have located a... version of the game that seems to let any 16-digit serial number work! For some reason though, this special version is incompatible with the regular game! Oh well. Just unzip and follow the instructions in SUPERSECRETREADME.txt inside.

RE: Solium Infernum (2016 Election Simulator) - pizzatiger - 11-12-2016

Urs has decided that being the master of all evil was a bit too evil for him and has dropped out of the race.

Make sure to use the link above to download what Waka kindly gave us. Then you  download this dropbox link and find your name. Follow the step in the multiplayer link above and send me the results either on the forum or using IRC. If you're having trouble I will be on IRC to help
