Eden - overview and links to resources


Added a page for this see Tab bar

Tabans Eden is one of the best skirmish games out there the moment. Taban is a French base company and some of the more detailed background (Fluff) is only in French. Here is my attempt at putting it all together in one place. I will try and add to this as more information becomes available.

EDEN

Welcome to a barren planet, swept by the icy winds of a never ending winter and littered by the ashes and blood of men.  Welcome among its children hidding to escape the barbaric hordes of the survivors. Eden proposes two players to take control of these groups struggling for survival and fight each other in a game of skirmishes. Welcome to your new paradise, the new ... Eden ! After the Apocalypse many groups are fighting just to breathe the foul air a few more hours.

Is there anything in French that fleshes out the background of all the individual characters? I like the models and the gameplay but the story's and fluff seems to be lacking so far.
