Fall of Bali

Fall of Bali is a historical strategy game set in Bali in the 19th Century with a map which covers the eastern salient of Java, Blambangan, Bali island and Lombok island. Many Balinese kingdoms were at war with each other and were spreading their influence out to both Blambangan and Lombok Island. Hence, the realm of Bali had been divided for a long time. The successor to the Bali Empire, Klungkung, was only recognized as the spiritual leader for Balinese kings, which drove the other kings to pursue the highest achievement: the ambition to become the superior ruler of Bali. Meanwhile as time passes on, the growing threat of a colonial power from the Dutch Empire in Java will soon reaches Bali.


Since destruction of Gelgel Empire in 1686, Balinese never united again under political power and many strong power rise and fall like Buleleng to Mengwi. While Blambangan was still under the influence of Balinese to protect Bali from the Sultanate of Mataram, Lombok has fallen to Balinese power by the Karangasem expansion in the late 17th century after a long contesting stage between Karangasem and Makassar.

Fall of Bali starts in 1767 where Mengwi still held their position as a strong kingdom in Bali beside Klungkung as Susuhunan. Blambangan, the vassal of Mengwi in Eastern Java, was threatened with the expedition of Dutch East India Company to Blamabngan. Meanwhile in Lombok, the influence of Karangasem's dynasties covered Lombok island. Also with Sasak's kingdoms under their influence, Karangasem's ruler try to maintain the relation with the Sasak's kingdoms.
