Empire Help v1.01 Beta 7-21-91
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a basic 'Free for All' game of space combat with Strategic
overtones.
You only make the basic decisions such as
1. Resource Allocation
2. Who to atttack
3. How much to Attack with
4. How much to Conquer with
Combat Units
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 6 combat units in this game.
Unit Cost Strength
-----------------------------------------------
1. Troops 1 1
2. Frigates 1 2
3. Cruisers 2 3
4. Battleships 3 4
5. Defense Boats 2 3
6. Defense Satellites 1 2
Obviously Defense Boats and Satellites are more cost effective. That's
because they are limited to defense only and don't need interstellar
capabilities.
Starting the Game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You get 5 days of protection. This means nobody can attack you. You should
do your best to conquer and build during this time.
Conquest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you send out your forces to conquer new territories. The more
you send out the more you will conquer. There is a limit to how many systems
you can take over every turn though. Be careful! you can lose up to 100% of
your conquering forces.
Combat
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is central to the game. The best way to take systems is from another
player. The more you have the better you do.
There is a limit to the amount of systems you can take every turn, but it's
also possible to destroy an other player and take him/her out of the game.
Morale plays an important part in combat!
Morale
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morale is basically how you troops feel about your Empire and You. The
better they feel the better they fight. Propoganda is also a good way to
improve morale.
Espionage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Espionage uses spies to discover the status of another player.
The News File
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Log of all the important events that go on as the game is
progressing.
The List Player explained
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'(' means that player is "Protected" and can't be attacked! This is players in
the game < 5 days or those that got 'Destroyed' and need a scond chance.
'*' is you
'$' means that player is the current game leader and has a good chance of
becoming Emperor
Doing Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is very useful for building up your forces in preperation for a big
conquest attempt or a big battle.
Vicory Conditions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Points are awarded for conquering systems,spying on other players success-
fully and defeating other players in combat. In order to win you need to have
a score of 10,000 for 5 days. After that time you are crowned EMPEROR of the
known Galaxy.
Hints and tips
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use propoganda, it's VERY important.
Defense is cheap and effective.
Conquest is slow and expect to take a lot of losses.
That's it
Some minor details are left out, don't be afraid to try things out.
