Re-Revived Community Spotlight I: Filthydelphia Hidden Gems: Black Knights and The Horsewizards Some of us return to the mortal realms Defend the Spot Scenario Contest: 2020 Definitive Edition Blacksmith Feature: Mare Nostrum (01.31.20) -- Jack of Hearts by King Leorick "This month's feature focuses the spotlight on Jack of Hearts, a campaign by King Leorick. Most of us fondly remember La Hire from the ES Joan of Arc campaign, and King Leorick has decided to create a whole RPG campaign that focuses on the historical life of this hero, known under the French name Etienne de Vignolles. Taking inspiration from games like Diablo and Baldur's Gate, King Leorick has spent well over a year crafting this RPG campaign. Chapter 2, currently in progress picks up a couple years after his departure from his home, retelling his life as a mercenary and finally participating in the tournament at Toulouse." ( read more! ) -- Crusade - The Beginning by Sceletar "Today's feature is a little different than our usual. I will be taking a look back at a classic campaign, Crusade: The Beginning. In its day it received the highest praise, with 7 perfect scores out of 8 (including one rather short 5.0 review by a certain noobie who shall remain nameless). The campaign cultivated a large fanbase for both itself and its designer, Sceletar, and has been frequently listed as a personal favorite of many forummers."

This 20 year old game getting a 2019 makeover breathes some fresh life into the franchise bringing back many fans of the game who have since forgotten their hotkeys. Grab your copy and bring your defeated hostages back to AoKH for them to enjoy our un-rivaled library of this game's ins and outs. -o- Check out the four new civilizations to choose from in the latest " The Last Khans " DLC! Bulgarians: “When nomadic Bulgar horsemen approached the Danube in the 7th century and encountered the local Slavic tribes, the stirrups that they brought changed European cavalry warfare forever. Fortify the nearby mountain passes with formidable Kreposts and punish overconfident invaders with powerful combined armies of cavalry, infantry, and siege engines! Your valiant Konniks, the pride of your army, will continue to fight fearlessly even after their horses are felled beneath them.” Cumans: “The vast Eurasian plains were home to nomadic tribes whose steppe husbandry and fearsome exploits still live on in the records of their terrified neighbors. Lead the Cuman-Kipchak hordes to war and pillage to your heart’s content, or offer your riders as coveted mercenaries in the service of foreign kings. When an even greater threat looms to the east, will you migrate west and adopt the lifestyle and warcraft of your sedentary neighbors, or vanish before an unstoppable wave of Mongol conquerors?” Lithuanians: “The forested boglands east of the Baltic Sea hold more than meets the eye. Coagulate the various Baltic tribes into a Grand Duchy with a new religion, smash invading forces with powerful cavalry and mobile spearmen and javelineers, and assemble the largest empire in late-medieval Europe! The Lithuanian unique unit is the Leitis, a heavy cavalry unit who strikes with such vigor that all armor is useless against his weaponry.” Tatars: “For centuries, fierce nomads roamed the Central Asian steppe, periodically launching distant migrations or campaigns to conquer or extort their sedentary neighbors. Don arrow-resistant silk armor and dominate the hills and plains with mobile horsemen and cavalry archers, or join the Mongol hordes and swell the ranks of the Keshiks, honored bodyguards of the Great Khan himself! Dare you follow in the footsteps of Tamerlane and mercilessly conquer an empire from Transoxiana to India, Anatolia, and Russia?” Open Contests Continuous Screenshot Competition Pretty Town Contest 2015 Continuous Modded Screenshot Competition -- Game of the Year 2019 - Results are in!

On the left one sits the interviewer, Major Helper, with his legs crossed, leaning his head on his hand. As if only now noticing the audience, he jolts and fixes his posture. “Ah, hello there everybody! It is a pleasure to have you here. As you’re all well aware, I’ll be conducting tonight’s interview with Filthydelphia. He’s truly a long, long, LONG-standing member of the HeavenGames community, as well as part of the Forgotten Empires team that we know and love. Without further ado, Filthydelphia!” With a grand sweep of his hand, Major Helper stands up to receive Filthydelphia who appears from the right of the stage amidst the applause, smiling and waving his hand. After a firm handshake, the two men take their seats. As the audience calms down, the interview begins. Major Helper: It’s a pleasure to have you join us tonight. I know it's rather sudden, but how're you feeling about this interview? Filthydelphia: Is that the first interview question? *chuckles* I’m feeling good about it. It’s great to have an opportunity to answer any questions you have and let the community hear a bit of my voice outside of just the campaign scenarios. Major Helper: Indeed it is, abrupt and kind of awkward as it might be. Glad to hear you're enthused. Let's start with getting to know YOU, first of all. A/S/L? Filthydelphia: I'm 34 years old, male, and currently live in Chicago. I live right by the famous "Bean" statue and Lake Michigan is a stone's throw away from me. I can actually see Lake Michigan from my living room window. Major Helper: Ooh, impressive. As a Finn I know and can certainly appreciate a good lake view. Tell me about yourself in real life. What field do you work and/or study in? What hobbies do you have? What brings you enjoyment in life? Filthydelphia: I’m currently a second-year Master of Business Administration (MBA) candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, which is the #1 MBA program in the world according to many rankings. I’m pretty sure I had nothing to do with that, though! I’m also currently a capt...
