First Things First

What is it you want in a game?  Never thought about it?  Maybe you want to command an assault against frantic defenders in realtime, on the ground in the midst of it all in real 3D terrain with forces you've designed and built.  Or maybe you'd rather spend your time acquiring and fortifying your own little empire and then watch as your opponents throw themselves senselessly against your defenses while you plot their destruction.  Then again maybe you're a simulation fan and like creating an operation which fills your pockets with money and your warehouses with rare and valuable  items. Whatever it is you want in a game, odds are Project Visitor has it.

What types of games you like to play and how you like to play them will be a major influence on how you play Project Visitor simply because in it virtually anything is possible.  You want to break your enemy's forces with a reckless charge?  Forge alliances so that a massive conflict will break out if your little MDN is attacked?  Build up a mighty empire, the ruins of which will stand in vis camps long after you're gone?  Amass a fortune so vast you can buy as much of you want whenever you want?  Want to play general (ok, what's the word for someone who does this?) and layout the perfect camp with perfectly overlapping fields of fire that will rip up anything that enters their range?  If you can think it you can do it in Project Visitor.

Before you get into the game you might want to think a bit about what you enjoy in a game and focus on that aspect in Project Visitor.  Nothing says you have to play any part of your MDN's politics if you don't want to nor do you have to spend countless hours in financial wheeling and dealings if that isn't what you enjoy.  In fact new players only need to focus on learning the game and simply surviving...which is fun enough in itself!  It's only players who have found their footing and managed to secure a bit of safety who begin to specialize into those potentials which help to make Project Visitor one of the most elaborate and compelling games made to date.

We will be playing this very soon.
