Empire

Dragon 32

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #42

Empire is a world-wide conflict game, simple to operate and set up, in which the Dragon plays one power and you play the opposition power.

The aim is the usual megalomaniacal one of world domination, achieved by wiping the opposition off the face of the globe.

The game is fairly easy to set up with the powers taking turns to choose territory. Then you have to assign your armies, continent by continent, until all are deployed.

The maps are all high resolution and fairly accurate. The method of input is easy, though I can't say the instructions were very clear.

The fight begins. Victory means the chance to move armies and attack new targets; failure passes the attack to the other power.

This is a simple wargame simulation which should prove a gentle introduction, without too many variables to manipulate.

Good fun, and quite interesting, but do allow over 30 minutes for each game!
