About This Game

Ageod’s Wars of Succession is a new game designed to cover two major wars that consumed Europe at the eve of the 18th Century. One was the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1713), pitting the French & Spanish Bourbons monarchs against the Grand Alliance built by Austrian Habsburg, Britain and the United Provinces. The other is the Great Northern War (1700-1721), between Sweden and Russia (and her allies), most of which focused around the succession of Poland. The two wars are played in separate scenarios.

In Wars of Succession you will coordinate the movements of several armies of many different great powers and their allies, take care of their supplies, fatigue and seek better condititions to engage combat, hold sieges or retreat to recover if needed.
