Konig des Menschen (Map Game)











The hunter gatherers still rule over the vast lands that make up the world. Whilst small villages and towns start to form proto-civilizations. Europe is still stuck in the ways of tribalism while the Middle East is on the brink of a revolutionary era

 I, Atlasium (TheCreator901), welcome you to Konig des Menschen (KdM). Starting in 4000 BC, this is the dawn of civilization and the tail end of the prehistorical era. The beginning of civilization is just kicking off in the Middle East.

The first game I have ever administrated was Continent of Darkness: Europe, which was successful until its end. KdM is the first attempt at a truly grand scale Mapgame that will hopefully go on for many turns!

Curiosity taking over him, their king decided that it would be a great idea to sail across the water over to the island. Originally, a population of around 450 people sailed there (with ships making back-and-forth trips) but two ships managed to sink, and the king decided it was a no-go for the rest on the mainland. This tribe eventually split off from the old, and is now located in London.
