Invicta Imperium
Roman-themed sandbox MUD
Invicta Imperium is a Roman-inspired sandbox MUD where players shape the world through ambition: trade, violence, politics, craft, reputation — and the consequences that follow.
Install a MUD client, then connect using the host and port above. Create a character in-game and step into the world.
In-game, start with help. If you hit a wall, the Discord is there to get you unstuck.
I've been playing MUDs for the better part of 25 years. In that time, I've seen many systems and many things that I feel would be good in a MUD and have always wanted to build a MUD that is a living, breathing world you can play in alone or with others. Invicta Imperium is the culmination of my time in the MUD world. I hope to garner a community that will help me grow my vision from something that I've only dreamed of into a reality.
I want to create a world that allows players near-complete agency. GM-run events are going to happen to help the players' story along, not the GM's story.
With enough players, I can put players into nearly every role, with systems to enhance and back up their roleplay, not replace and definitely (hopefully) not to limit it.
So please, join me in creating this world and hopefully you find yourself a new home to MUD in, grab some friends, new or old, and try to ascend the social ranks. Who knows, maybe you'll be a senator come the next Civic Interlude?
Live major systems: Combat, basic crafting, medicine/wounds, persistent customer calendar/easy to remember and use time (2 IG hours for every 1 IRL hour. Midnight syncs up with 00:00 Eastern US and 12:00 Eastern US), Map expansion (more districts, places to live/work/gather, and room for society to breathe).
Next: Society structure (citizenship [and all it entails]/status/roles/factions), Player income (earn a repeatable wage in various ways), Player housing (find a place to call your own, but remember...), Tax (The Taxman always cometh, but only once a year).
After: Expanded crafting, Expanded combat, Expanded medicine/wounds, Further Gameworld Expansion. VERY FAR away: Permadeath... You didn't expect to live forever, did you?
Direction, not deadlines. Systems evolve through play.
Discord is out-of-character support and coordination. Roleplay and consequences happen in-game.
