I'm not sue of the commercial version, >but the PD version is 2.2w Just to clear things up here - There is two games both called EMPIRE 1/ A Net-wide distrubuted multi-player game public domain game which involves developing full countries and attacking neibouring countries. This involves only the normal ascii characters for display. The game is basically a very long on going affair. 2/ a strategic war game which has been around for years (commerical) which involves capturing individual (initially neutral) cities and having them produce armys, planes, and a large assortment of boats and subs, then attacking the enemy cities. winner being the last to survive (taken all enemy cities and destroyed all his armies). display consists of specially designed largish characters. Joseph is thinking of empire 1 and tcrevier of empire 2 I myself prefer empire 2 as it is simpler and more enjoyable.
