Rules:
This quest is for new players beginning June, 1st 2005. Players who want to register for this quest have to enter 'Barbaren der Südlande' in the notes field of the registration form.
The aim of the barbarians is to conquer at least 150 Morgen of the northern countries each month. It's not 150 acres per barbarian but all lords together have to reach this aim.
To ensure a free development the area of the barbarians is kept encapsuled. Beginning with August, 1st 2005 the frontiers will be opened and from then on each month the conquered Morgen will be counted. If the number passes the 150 Morgen all barbarians can continue playing for free. Does the conquered area not pass 150 Morgen is the invasion not successful and the players' state will be set to
the shareware mode.
Registering will be possible from May, 15th to May, 30th 2005.
This quest is cross platform, so it can be played an all systems (PC, Linux, Mac, Amiga (+ MOS,+ OS4)).
Quest operator: Martin Wolf
Price: continued playing for free as long as the quest's aim is reached.

Current state of DKG II and SN-Archiv homepage
The SN-Archiv homepage is now accessable via the short URL sn-archiv.de, too.
Of SN-EuroArchiv is version 1.95 under development. Image support for the HTML support for course coins sets was added that will be available in the future for special coins, too. Additionally, some bugs were removed that concerned the HTML support. An example for the new ccs generating can be found here (needs some loading time because of the images).
Steffen Nitz also decided to create an images gallery for SN-EuroArchiv. The page is still under construction and can be accessed via this URL.
There are thoughts to create a similar gallery for "Die Kleine Gilde II" to show the scope of the game. DKG II v0.70 is almost finished but the author has had not found the time to do the last adaptions to release this version. Things like town fires, burglary and sabotages like setting fires or placing bombs at competitiors buildings were added. You can now place things in buildings that are quite helpful, e.g. against fire and burglary.
