	Chris, games like conquest [and I guess empire, thou I don't have
it (hint, hint, hint )] require a "world-wide" update to be done on them.
for conquest it is "conquest -x" which represents the "end of the year".
	your system should be setup to do this every night, or if you
are playing solitare, you should do this between every "turn" you take.
	This lets the NPC's take their turns, and is the time durring
which battle is resolved.

	Feature Note:  Anybody can "conquest -x" which has the negitive
side effect that one person can cheat by taking 30 turns one night while
the computer makes the moves for all the players who didn't.  The computer
makes CRAPPY moves for player nations.  i.e. you will nearly be killed
off if there are any enemies near your borders and you miss a few turns.
