A World of War (Map Game Series)

World of War is a Map Game series created by The Thunder Mapper. To win you have fight other people/NPC's some NPC might form coalitions against you with Players & NPC's or with other NPC's. It has since been dropped by Thunder Mapping and has since then fallen from grace. However, it's taken on a new form with the community continuing the series, albeit less successfully than Thunder's time. Most World of War map games take place in numerous parallel worlds set with different scenarios.
It is often remembered for being filled with arguments and its own existence that caused elimination of other active map games at it's time has caused controversy among the community, with A World of War: World Revived being the only exception to this. Despite this, it has become amongst, if not the, most popular map game series with typically reaching over thousands of comments within the first couple turns of the game. A feat not seen by most other map games.
As of now the series has a total of 10 games, 8 with world maps, 1 with an European map and 1 historical.

A World of War: World II 	April 9th, 2016 - May 9th, 2016 	Thunder Mapping and Batran99 	Originally intended to be a direct sequel to AWOWW I, it was made a reboot instead.

A World of War: World III 	June 16th, 2016 - June 26th, 2016 	Pisiu369 	Standalone game. It was made by Pisiu as an attempt to revive the series. Despite having over 1,700 comments, it wasn't very successful turn-wise as it only lasted for 3. It also ended because of drama like its predeccesors.
A World of War: World Revived 	July 1st, 2016 - July 13th, 2016 	
ThatMapperGuy 	Standalone game. Its main goal was to change the bad image of the series with a new set of rules and staff. However, it wasn't very successful, lasting for just 4 turns and failing to reach the 1,000 comments milestone. Known for being the first AWOWW game that ended because of inactivity rather than drama.
A World of War: World V 	August 10th, 2016 - August 29th, 2016 	Pisiu369 	Standalone game. Made by Pisiu as another attempt to revive the series. It only lasted for 1 turn and failed to reach the 500 comments milestone, making it one of the most failed AWOWW games to date. It ended because of inactivity.
A World of War: World War 2 	September 3rd, 2016 - September 8th, 2016 	Pisiu369 	Standalone game. Made by Pisiu as yet another attempt to revive the series. This is the only AWOW game that doesn't begins on the present, and the second one to not use a world map. It only lasted for 1 turn and it couldn't even reach the 100 comments milestone, making it the most failed AWOWW game to date if AWOWW 2 is not counted. It also ended due to inactivity.
A World of War: World 2 	Cancelled (page created on Septemeber 22th, 2016). 	ThatMapperGuy and Flaming Spaghetti Monster 	Sequel to AWOWW I. It was created to serve as an actual sequel to the first AWOWW game, something that AWOWW II failed to achieve. However, it did not even begin, making it a complete failure.
