HBGames
Thanks for stopping by. I've been working on this project since January of 07' so it's still kinda new. I'm not sure when I'm going to get out a demo, I'm going to take my time and enjoy making the game, not rush it. I promise you this game will be big. But for now, take some time to read over the history of it.

BACKSTORY[/FONT]
Before you read!
This story is completely made up. I've tried to make this as close to the Crusades as possible without using any real history or events from the era. The continent the game is based on, the characters, and the story is completely made up. However the game will have features and examples from the time such as Kings, the Weapons, and the other continents. Enjoy!
It is 1191 and the war of the 2nd crusade for the Holy land is almost at an end. King Richard the Lion Heart was to soon attempt to take over Jerusalem once again, only to fail like the last Crusade. Peace was coming except for one continent. Dellimor and the 3 nations, Loxlee, Lithocris, and Cidel came under attack and the peoples hope was rapidly falling.
Alakemed Mesuma, ruler of the kingdom of Anteox declared that he would rule the continent. Greedy for territory, this king began a relentless Crusade for every acre of this lost continent and vowed never to rest until he ruled it all. The first city to fall was a thriving metropolis called Lithorcris. At first, Lithorcris's military was too srtong for Anteoxs, so they pulled back. Soon after the withdraw, Anteox returned with even more troops. They had offered a small city named Tyrees more land if they were to fight along side them.
Agreeing to help Anteox, Tyrees did not know what they were in for. After Lithocris and the second nation, Cidel, fell, Anteox soon turned against Tyrees and destroyed their military. Alakemed took control over the small port city and turned it into a military checkpoint.
City after city fell until Alakemed reached his 10th city, Loxlee. With Tyrees under his control, he ordered them to send a great deal of demolition ships to take out Loxlee's ports to cut off the citizens escape routes. Loxlee soon responded to this act by sending ten thousand foot soldiers into the heart of Anteox. Swords clashed and arrows flew in this hellish war they called, The Red Crusade.
After a long struggle, Loxlee lost to Anteox and were forced to re-build their once great empire. A last ditch effort by the King and his oldest son to try and resist and fight back to save their home town, but the king was slain and his son was taken as a Prisoner of war. The city was destroyed and lost it's inner balance. Who would be the new King of Loxlee?
PLOT[/FONT]
It's been seven years since the great war and Loxlee is nearly complete in their construction of a new empire. Cidel and Lithocris completed their construction 2 years after the attack. Everyone had left behind the dreadful attack and started to enjoy their lives.
Our hero, a boy by the name of Kent just celebrated his 16th birthday. He watched the dreadful attack take place from the doorstep of his home. His father, King of Loxlee was killed in the attack and his brother was taken as a POW. Kent is entitled "Man of the house" now that he is 16.
A day after the birthday party, Kent sets out to fletch him some arrows for his new present, a wooden bow. Along with him comes his best friend Rehia, a girl thats had a crush on Kent for years. The two step foot into the woods when all of a sudden something catches Rehia's eye. They walk over to a destroyed building that was burnt down 7 years ago during the attack.
When they enter the building, Kent finds a parchment paper titled "WILL". He puts the paper in his bag and they continue to look for arrows. When the couple reach the end of the woods, Kent looks back into the village and sees a man on horseback. The man was talking to the towns folk about something. The only thing Kent hears is "New leader" and "Second assault?"
Kent returns to the village and is told by the messenger that he must travel to Cidel and train. He would be the new king of Loxlee. Kent would build an army and destroy Anteox once and for all.

This is an example of what Maynard looks like from the world map. This is still a WIP so don't complain too much. I plan for this to be 100x100 so I have A LOT of work to do.
This is a pic of Kent's room. As you can tell they are a Middle-class family for their time.
This is the Kitchen and the Living room. Nothing too special here except the grammer 
This is the church where Kent finds the Will. This map was made by Kraft. Thanks Kraft! There may be more added on to this map in time.
This is a pic of Deliena Woods. These woods are where Kent and Dante meet. Can you find the hidden objects? (Hint: only 2)
There are more maps to come in the future.
