Campaign vs. Multiplayer Mode

NetStorm has a number of Campaign missions for you to play, as well as a Multiplayer mode which you can play indefinitely. If you play the "Early Missions" you will be instructed in the workings of the game.

Campaign

In the Campaign you begin each mission with a specific group of Knowledge. In order to win you must usually Sacrifice the enemy's High Priest to the Furies. This action vanquishes your enemy and allows you to advance to the next mission.

Multiplayer

In Multiplayer mode things are slightly different. Your Nimbians start with a simple Knowledge Profile. Each time you Sacrifice an enemy Priest you will be able to gain new Knowledge to improve your fighting ability.

Multiplayer maps are configured differently from those in the Campaign. You'll see that there are many small islands to control as you attempt to defeat your enemy. The Outpost (which does not appear in the Campaign) is instrumental in winning Multiplayer games.

The Altar also functions differently and you should learn about Zones and being a Battle Master. If you want to chat with other players you might be interested in the .format command.
