From Vic Davis, maker of the awesome Armageddon Empires, is his new game based on dueling nobility in hell.

Supposed to be available 9PM EST or so.

Not spamming ads, just letting everyone know it’s out, since I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t check his blog regularly.

May be overloaded servers. I’m downloading the actual and I’m cruising along at like 25Kb/s.

Can’t remember the last time it took this long for a 90MB file.

Intriguing title-could someone sum it up for me (as in sell me on it)?

[These game diaries](http://fidgit.com/archives/game-diaries/) at Fidgit might interest smoe of you wanting to learn more about the game.

I’m not an expert, but I think the basic gist is that it’s a turn-based strategy warfare game based on armies of demons fighting to take over Hell. Wacky hijinks ensue.

It’s a lot more than fighting, though. Infernal diplomacy and all that. Much like Armageddon Empires, it is pretty incomprehensible at first, but it looks pretty deep.
