News and Announcements

Sup jaunty Jans it's your boy Satros here giving you your monthly War Clan ansible space-broadcast.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Warmas festivities. If you missed it, check out Rodger's montage of our exploits.

Latest Games:
This month we have been playing Blade and Soul, Grand Theft Auto: V, Age of Empires II, and Age of Mythology.

Blade and Soul is a Free to play MMO with a combat system that combines traditional RPG skills with fighting game combat mechanics. Unlike most MMOs where you just keep mashing all your skills, in Blade and Soul players need skillfully pull of combos, blocks, and counters to be good. A bunch of us are currently playing on the Iksasun server in the Cerulean Order faction if you would like to join us.

Grand Theft Auto: V is the fifth installment of the Grand Theft Auto series and includes an online mode. Generally, online is filled with hackers which can be a fun killer at times, but we stil do things like heists, racing, and in generally fooling around (aka throwing bombs at eachother's faces).

Age of Empire II HD is an RTS game where players choose an empire, build a base and army, and try to wipe out the other players. We regularly play with 6-8 people and have massive battles vs each other.https://www.youtube.com/embed/TeTACR2t2fg

Age of Mythology is an RTS game, very similar to AOE2, except with mythical units and god abilities.

That's what we have been up to lately. If you are interested in playing with us just pop in Teamspeak. We are in there most nights sooner or later.

Sup little boys and girls of Warmas, it's your boy Satros here singing you your monthly War Clan carol.

*WARMAS GAMES*

Instead of our usual "Latest Games" section, this will be a special edition highlighting some of the games we play during Warmas and the kind of activities we will be doing in them.

Rune is the game where {{WaR}} was first founded. The gameplay is sort of like Unreal Tournament but hack-and-slash. There are tons of fun maps and mods and we play it every Warmas as a reminder of our roots. One map in particular, Mt. Everest, a map where to point is to climb to the top, is always a good time when everyone is drunk during Warmas.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is another classic Warmas game. Typically, we will divide into two teams and play instagib (that's 1 hit / 1 kill with beam snipers) CTF. Each year results in an epic struggle and a lot of good times.

Killing Floor 2 is the sequel to Killing Floor 1, which is another game we play every year. Killing Floor 2 will replace Killing Floor 1 this year since its basically a more updated version of the original. Usually, each Warmas we use "British Line Tactics", which is when we all back up against a wall with single shot rifles and do our best to mow down all the Zeds that approach.

Reign of Kings is a survival game that mixes the combat of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and Minecraft style base building. During Warmas Eve this year, we will probably form a large group of naked spearmen, and run around servers wreaking havoc.

Age of Empire II HD is an RTS game where players choose an empire, build a base and army, and try to wipe out the other players. During Warmas, we will most likely have an 8-player FFA war clan brawl.

Rocket League is basically Soccer with Cars. During Warmas Eve this year, we will probably play some fun games using custom modifiers, such as a 4v4 where the ball is just a heavy box that must be slowly pushed while the other team also tries to push it in the opposite direction.

TableTop Simulator is a simple physics based game for playing tabletop games with friends. This year, we may wind down on Warmas Eve by playing some Official War Clan Trading Card Game, random sets of Guess Who, or a puzzle of something random.

Manatee Online is a MMO survival game created by War Clan where you can swim around as a manatee and eat seaweed. Does it really need anymore explanation?

We hope you will all join us on Jan 1st and Jan 2nd to play these games and more for Warmas Eve and Warmas!
