 Welcome to a comprehensive introduction to the WTactics project. This page is the best starting point for anyone that is new to WTactics. This introduction outlines what the project is and how it is structured. When given a suggestion to read certain documents, we beg you to actually ''read'' those documents in the order they are given.
-==About WTactics==
+==About WTactics and our History==
-For tabletop play we’ll provide you with all the cards in various common high-resolution and high-quality formats such as PNG or PDF. You’ll be able to download them and print them out or, as we recommend, produce top-quality digital photographic versions by using a service that is to your liking.
+Several years ago (2010) WTactics began as an open source cardgame project with networking and parallel dev. teams in mind, each team spawning it’s own rulesest, all of us with collaboration and shared art assets in mind for the card art. The goal was to create a customizable card game that would play and look professional, and that was open source and free. Today we’re proud to declare that there is at least one playable card game game around as a result of that starting point, [https://arcmage.org/ arcmage.org], and another coming along this year,  [https://arcmage.org/ gaia.li], both fully featured customizable card games in the tradition off all great ccg's.
 Once you have the cards, you only need to cut them out and put them in standard card sleeves.
 ===What's in the box===
 *high on strategy, low on luck
-*several unique factions and more than 120 unique units with their own traits and abilities
+*several unique factions and more than 100+ unique creatures with their own traits and abilities
-*only 30 – 60 cards needed for a complete army
+*only 45 cards needed for a complete deck
-*two players, an hour to play
+*two (or more) players, an hour to play
 *no need for a board or special material
 *no collecting – we give you every card that exists

-We invite everyone to participate in the development. WTactics will be in development and alive as long as there are people like ''you'' showing interest in the game. We're excited that you have shown interest in the project, and we hope you will help us. Our survival is in the hands of people that want to see this happen and are prepared to do some work. The number one rule in all open source projects is as true as ever: Want this done? Then either do it yourself or pay somebody else to do it.

 ==About WTactics==
 We’re creating a game that’s open source, free to play both on the table and online. We’ll give you the rules and high-resolution graphics of all the cards. We’ll keep you updated on the game’s development and invite you to participate in that development. WTactics is a game by players, for players, with the community in mind. We already have all the graphics. All we need is a ruleset, and that’s where you and your friends enter the scene as developers.
