This is an AoK classic, and it's called... Shimo Style!

Here are the rules:


All players start out without teams.
Team victory is off and is to be off for the whole game.
Teams are not locked.


Thrust and treachery are the main ingredients. Alliances are made and broken. In fact, it's an exciting game as you never know when your ally is going to turn against you!

hehe...thats a pretty cool idea......although i would get real pissed at an ally who betrayed me.....and i proberly would never betray an ally.......i guess i am just to nice :D

I tried that with Warlord... with... um... bad results... ;)

Oh, and.. I forgot to mention:


Game type: Last man standing
Recommened: Many players. It's not fun with 2-4 :)

yeah i figured if u had 2 players it would definetly not be a surprise if they attacked

Shimo style rules, it makes the game more of a political simulator!

I guess I'd resort to my "StarCraft FFA" strategy of hiding in defenses, building up an army of super units, then "mopping up" as the other players are killing each other.
