I was wondering if we have a good set of campaign rules for E:A. With the scenarios from Total War and the imminent release of planetary empires I would definitely like to play my own E:A campaign. Does anyone know a good set of rules?

The supplement I'm working on, "EPIC: Total War" will have campaign rules and advice in it, but they are currently in a very preliminary state.

Any thoughts and suggestions on what you'd like to see would be greatly appreciated!

E&C published some map-based campaign rules in an issue of Firebase, check warseer to find it.

I've been thinking on trying to do a d6generations Xcam system for epic. So far I haven't managed to do this though.


I am doing this currently with some modifications. I will let you know how it goes once it has been played (and shown to work).

I would like to see strategic-level maneuvers where your (let's say) 3000 point army is located on a given square, but your opponent attacks another square that only has 1500 points. Aside from air support and teleports and such that's all you would get. The trick is to do it right and still enjoyable for both parties.

The map board from "the Battle for Armageddon" makes an interesting campaign situation (and I have a feeling has been made public??)

Yes. Good luck printing it so that they board tiles all meet up correctly, though.  :glare:

If you have the fixed board tiles somewhere, I would love to get a copy of them.  :))

@Groov3r:If you have a link to the original, I'll have a go at fixing it.

I created an Experience System for using in campaigns and leagues.  We've only ever tested it briefly, but it worked okay.  Most formations hovered right around "normal" levels.  About the time a formation would build up a fair XP level, they'd get crushed in a battle and XP penalties would bring them back down.

I came up with a system based on the campaign system in Warmaster Ancient Armies. Worked ok until my opponents moved away  :_(

I sent you a PM with my email address so we can share the wealth--let me know if that hasn't arrived.  :))
