The Master Clocksmith came to speak to me this morning revealing a fabulous secret... Wecan travel in time, my friend! Not just dreaming about it like my astrologist does, but actually going there. I can hardly believe it! There seem to be periods in our future where the strength of our walls will be nothing compared to the strength of our collective faith. Or an even stranger future epoch where the people will rule themselves. The Master Clocksmith has convinced me that our power is now limitless. Our lands and domains are ours forever. My opponents will not wait and my Lords have already started preparing for their journeys. My dear friend, come with me, for from this day forward, I will be remembered as the king who forged our own destiny... literally! Players control time travelers who move forward and backward in time to create the future (and the past) as they want it to be (or have been). Changes ripple forward in time as players try to control the important aspects of each age - which, of course, change as time passes.The player who best manages his time-traveling resources will find he has created the flow of time as he wished and will win the game, as well.
