RELEASE NOTES

Hesperian Wars, an overwhelming real-time strategy game of huge scale
and rich with details..

In the wonderful years of its great prosperity. the Hesperian Empire
collapsed. After the unexpected death of its emperor Belruth XVI.,
there was no heir for the Pearl throne.
The emperor's smart advisors unrightfully took power, causing great
anger among the imperial aristocracy which protested empathetically
and soon formed their own government.
Stunned by this development, the Smarts accepted the aristocrats'
protests and invited them to negotiate and create a  Common Board.
After a difficult day, the Creation of this Board was celebrated with
a great party.

During next night, all the aristocrats and their companions were murdered.

A scream raced through the country and the remaining aristocrats formed
troops for a war against the mighty imperial army. Under the Dark Moon,
the steel Phalanxes fought a battle and here, the aristocrats were also
defeated, through betrayal on their own side. The survivors fled into
the woods of the  province Deborea, where they created a resistance base
together with the Pygmies from the province Jatar in the South  and the
giants from Firland in the North. They were able to defend themselves
against the power of the Empire for the first time.

Soon, they hit back, made the surprised and unprepared troops of the
Smarts flee behind the Big Bay and destroyed the capital..

Dead stillness fell over the land, promising peace at least until disputes
started among the allies who had won together and their alliance broke
apart on details. The Smarts, dreaming of their short past time in power
decided to risk All once more. Deep under the mountains of their land
they swore to each other what could not be said aloud in order to never
be defeated again. But at what price...
