[QUOTE="rbingham2000, post: 1092632, member: 12947"] The secret war is summarized quite nicely in the introduction to the game. There are certain sites scattered all across the world that harness and intensify the life force of man and nature, or [i]chi[/i]. These sites are known as Feng Shui sites, and those who control these sites will have things go their way due to the benefits from the increased flow of chi. History favors those who are attuned to these sites and gain power from them, and depending on who gets the most Feng Shui sites, history will take a much different path than the one we're generally familiar with. This battle takes place across time, because there are factions from all different time periods who don't want the past or the future intruding upon their present, and lots of these factions want to dominate the entire time stream for themselves. Warriors from the different factions travel through time by moving through the Netherworld, a mysterious realm that connects all different times and where people and beings outcast from their own times live out their days. Mainly, it's an excuse to have wildass wuxia swordplay, Jackie Chan and Jet Li style martial arts heroics, and hyperkinetic ten-thousand-bullets gunplay side-by-side. *whew* So, what changes are you thinking about for 2056? I can only guess that you're not too crazy about the Arcanowave stuff -- it's pretty wonky on the believability scale, even if the idea of Gigeresque Tech earns some cool points from me, and it doesn't much fit with the HK action stuff that Feng Shui is inspired by. So I can pretty much guess that the Architects (and possibly the Jammers) are out. Got any ideas on replacements? [/QUOTE]
