Summary: Other game in same vein: Guns or Butter Keywords: Guns or Butter, strategy Message-ID: <1991Feb11.221202.21643@midway.uchicago.edu> Date: 11 Feb 91 22:12:02 GMT References: Sender: news@midway.uchicago.edu (News Administrator) Distribution: comp.sys.mac.games Organization: University of Chicago Lines: 9 IMHO, better that Strategic Conquest, although not totally equiva- lent is Global Dilemma: Guns or Butter by Mindscape. The game takes place in a randomly generated continent with limited labor resourceand sequential production (ie you can't make plows if you don't make iron which has to be mined and processed). At the Expert Level (the one really intended for play) you have seven other opponents in the continent and their is a period of Diplomacy(tm) :-) where alliances aare made in basis of who is liked and disliked (this is the program handling all the seven personas) Strategy in both fighting and allying is the key to this game.
