MP: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game Over. Vets defeat Noobs.

[Septimius Severus]

Game conceded by the noob team at turn 31. Congratulations to the vet team.

And so it begins.

Mysterio, the only man who can withstand the gaze of a gorgon, happening upon the mortally wounded Mysteria who lay dying on the battlefield after the defeat of her veteran pretender god allies, vows to avenge her defeat and restore her to life. Using arcane magicks, Mysterio travels back into time to destroy the ancestors of the noob pretender gods and their armies to ensure that they will never be born and thereby prevent the death of his beloved wife and half sister Mysteria.

This is a team game and the sequel to the original Noobs vs. Vets.

This time around the focus will be on magic, longer term stategic planning, development, and accelerated research.
