On January 9th the inaugural Circuit of Evan Deathrally begins, involving a wilderness deathrace near to each of the 8 towns of Evan over an 8 week period. This new league joins the numerous established ones.

A number of new types of mutant creatures have been attacking people in the wilderness, including some large burrowing creatures who are quite partial to a small vehicle or two. A full bestiary of the current creatures is provided here: http://www.dark-wind.com/?page=creatures

About Darkwind-War on Wheels

Darkwind is a turn-based, 3D persistent-world multiplayer wargame set in the near future. The simultaneous turn-based gameplay blends the fast play of a real-time game with the strategic depth and variety of a turn-based game, and therefore appeals to both real-time and turn-based enthusiasts. Darkwind Tactical facilitates combats without the requirement to build up resources in a persistent game-world.

The game is staged on a sparsely populated continent, one of the few surviving areas of civilisation. The focus of the game is on vehicular combat - cars with guns - both in the wilderness and in man-made arenas and racing circuits. Gameplay is split between a web interface (for strategic management) and a 3D interface which supports Windows and Mac OSX (for control of characters and vehicles during a combat or race).
