empire
n.
Any of a family of military simulations derived from a game written by
Peter Langston many years ago. A number of multi-player variants of varying
degrees of sophistication exist, and one single-player version implemented
for both Unix and VMS; the latter is even available as MS-DOS/Windows
freeware. All are notoriously addictive. Of various commercial derivatives
the best known is probably ?Empire Deluxe? on PCs and Amigas.
Modern empire is a real-time wargame played over the internet by up to 120
players. Typical games last from 24 hours (blitz) to a couple of months
(long term). The amount of sleep you can get while playing is a function of
the rate at which updates occur and the number of co-rulers of your
country. Empire server software is available for Unix-like machines, and
clients for Unix and other platforms. A comprehensive history of the game
is available at http://www.empire.cx/infopages/History.html. The Empire
resource site is at http://www.empire.cx/.
