War of Wizards was one of the most in depth Play-By-EMail games ever created with a fantastic community of loyal players. Technology has progressed a lot since the game was originally created and while some players still enjoy reading through text turn reports and typing out orders, there is definitely an easier way. With your help the new one will look much cooler! War of Wizards - The New Beginning will retain the classic game play and rich interactive environment with other players but with a modern set of controls. Turn reports will be displayed graphically and will be displayed directly on the map in front of you. Pozible funding (we almost launched a Kickstarter campaign but are excited to be engaging with an Australian Crowd funding site instead) will be used to extend the WoW Games team to implement an online version of the game with Graphical User Interface and a mobile app to allow game play on the move. To join our Pozible campaign visit pozi.be/warofwizards The App version will allow turn reports to be viewed, orders formulated and diplomacy with other players. The game maps will have 4 - 100 players and turns will be run as frequently as players desire. Solo games will also be available for continuous play against AI and wandering monsters.
