Editing Chaos in the Old World (section)

==Gameplay==
After generating the random event that will take place that game turn, players take it in strict '''<u>god sequence</u>''' to spend '''[[Magic|power points]]''' to summon daemons and/or cast spells onto the map.

Once all players are out of power points then the game uses a strict '''<u>region sequence</u>''' to determine the order that battles and spells are resolved in, beginning at the top of the map and working its way down.

After all of the gets resolved, if the faction has enough daemons and magic remaining in that location to beat the local mortal forces ''(always a fixed value - with a few exceptions)'' then they dominate that region and score points.

Finally, players with any remaining [[Cultist]] units get to place corruption in the location which can contribute to the [[Exterminatus|ruin]] of that kingdom and the eventual destruction of the world - also gaining lots of points, but rendering that region useless for the rest of the game.

The game is asymmetrically balanced. Each god plays exactly as they should, [[Khorne]] is obviously the superior combatant, [[Tzeentch]] is the master of magic with better spells than everyone else, [[Nurgle]] is the spreader of corruption and is best at ruining regions, whilst [[Slaanesh]] excels at turning the players against each other and stealing points.

Players also get to [[Level|level-up]] their god, and each god has different means of doing this.
*'''Khorne''' kills people - easy
*'''Tzeentch''' places two or more corruption tokens wherever there are ''two'' or more warpstone tokens and/or magical "vortex" symbols ''(found on certain magic spell cards belonging to all players)''
*'''Nurgle''' places two or more corruption tokens down in a "populated" area ''(marked on the map)''
*'''Slaanesh''' places two or more corruption tokens down wherever a nobleman objective or mortal hero is currently located.

Levelling up brings obvious benefits to the player, such as improved daemonic abilities / more power points to use each turn / more spells in your hand or even simple things like an immediate score boost.

The players must always keep in mind their factions strengths and weaknesses, so whilst newbies might [[butthurt|feel]] that Khorne is overpowered, anyone with a good head for tactics can win so long as they keep their goals in mind. Just make sure that one of those goals is "point Khorne at someone who ain't me."

An entire game can pass without a single battle taking place ''(much easier with no Khorne player)'' and it would still be an enjoyable session.

The game ends when:
*Someone levels up to max - ''they just win, if two players max level in the same turn, the player with the highest indicated power level wins''
*Someone accumulates fifty points - ''total up everyone's scores then the highest score wins''
*the world is ruined - ''[[End Times]] happens, the player with the highest score wins.'' This is a fun one from a lore perspective, because it sorta implies the Chaos Gods cause the End Times all the time and just keep resetting the world the way the players reset the game.
*or you run out of random event cards - ''everyone loses, the person who had no chance of winning and played spoiler laughs''
