Rules:
You may only make alliance with one other player at a time.
You may only make peace with one other player at a time. However, you can ally the first player you're at peace with, and then make peace with the other guy, as those count separately.
Allied Victory is disabled.
Must wait one turn after breaking alliance before breaking peace.
Must wait one turn after breaking peace before attacking.

Daemonvirus plays the Highmen.
FRM_Vicious plays the Elves.
Cyberrod68 plays the Azracs.
Thereunto plays the Dark Elves.
Southern plays the Undead.

I was sorely tempted to fire this off in my new mod; but 5 is a relatively high number of players and I don't know yet what people think of it; So it's TS136.

Let me know what you think of my mod though, found here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wcrbyzybw4m8lkv/AAA1RWzGj8jsgeWkhqtHnr3ha?dl=0, as I would like to make some PBEMs with it in future.

Oh, and let me know what you think of this map, since I made it, and it's rather.... odd. Probably deserves a lot of criticism.

If you are allied with one player and at peace with another, and you decide "Meh, screw my ally, Break Alliance", what is the ruling? Are you forced to break peace with the other guy, or can you maintain 2 peace treaties?

Oh, that's a good point. I guess you're allowed 1 day with 2 peace treaties, but then you have to ally or break peace with one of them

Why not just make it "You can have 2 treaties total, but only one can be an alliance"?

Because I suspect that - with no Allied Victory - a Peace Treaty is more desirable than an alliance, since with an alliance you have to ask how worthwhile it is to mutually reveal all your forces and holdings. And I want to see some temporary alliances going on, I think it'll be more interesting.

Ah, I used the wrong email for Daemonvirus. Now, the game should be started for real.

Highmen - Day 1

What strange cataclysm brought us to this foul place? The air reeks of Undead and trolls and everything is in ruins. Clearly whatever happened here did not intend for life to thrive as it once did before. I will charm some wildlife into seeing for me and spare what scouts I can; surely there must be a way out of this abyss and into natural sunlight once again?

Hey Southern... there's a typo in your intro description. It appears we are all able to "hie" heroes in this game. :P

Elves, Day 1

We seem to be in the depths of the earth. A foul stench plagues the air and speaks of death and ruin.
This is a place where the living are not welcome... we have to tread carefully.

Day 1, Undead

It was too long we have been away from this place. There is much that still stands proud against the End to come.

Highmen - Day 2

Everything is either dead or looking for blood it seems. With little economy at my fingertips we are pressed for time before I run into even more issues than before. I'll have to talk to the troops for their opinion on which direction we should head first... strangely enough... I'm not too keen on facing the Undead at this time.

Elves, Day 2

We found a dwelling of our kin in this dark place.
Maybe we can show them the way and find some peace in this forsaken land.

Hmm...well, nobody died today. Blighted landscape. Hopefully we can rebuild these ruins into a money-generating city. I'm bleeding money trying to keep my troops in line.

Undead, Day 2

A blasted Fire Sprite escapes from us! And we have yet to remember any other useful spell from our past life. These little hamlets will have to wait another day.

Highmen - Day 3

Many of my friends fell today, though I can only hope it was for a good cause. There has already been too much bloodshed in this vile place, and I feel more will be coming.
