Description

Darien – a fight for survival! Based on a real event in the last days of the 17th Century when Scotland was desperate to assume a place on the world stage like her close neighbor and rival England - to become a Power and generate wealth way beyond her tiny size.

1698: The hopes of a Nation set sail for the Isthmus of Panama. The Gulf of Darien promised much for the Kingdom of Scotland. Independence from England and a chance to stand as equals with the great trading countries of Europe. However, the fate of this New Caledonia would be beset by famine, pestilence, war and death. In under 18 months this brave attempt to carve out a new frontier would end in disaster. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse turned their eyes to Darien and found it an affront to the order of nature. Mortal sinews and stamina would not prove sufficient to overcome the visitation of inhuman wrath and by early 1700 the only remnants of this outpost of humanity were overgrown graves and derelict huts. The Horsemen had triumphed.

Build a community that defies the Four Horsemen!

In this game you will take the role of the Head of one of the families who made that arduous journey to Darien. You will attempt to survive all that the Four Horsemen can send against you. The game can be played cooperatively to stave off the Apocalypse that laid waste to Darien in reality or competitively to succeed against the Horsemen and your fellow adventurers – you choose. It will be an important choice – the fate of 2000 settlers rest in your hands!
