it back! :) ....)

By the looks of the map, this is going to be a game to remember! :)

An update consists of 48 empire time units.
Each country is allowed to be logged in 1000 minutes a day.
It takes 25.00 civilians to produce a BTU in one time unit.

A non-aggi, 100 fertility sector can grow 0.12 food per etu.
1000 civilians will harvest 1.3 food per etu.
1000 civilians will give birth to 5.0 babies per etu.
1000 uncompensated workers will give birth to 2.5 babies.

Maximum mobility 127 127 127 127
Max mob gain per update 48 72 48 48
Max eff gain per update -- 96 48 48

Mid-game Updates

Two weeks after start, July 11, 1993

Alas:
The Game has been underway for quite awhile now. And The Deaths are
starting to build up slowly. There seems to be 2 Major alliances. The Major
alliance, The Elven GreenPeace Alliance, consisting of Chess/Lothlorien/
Mantarr and a Few others (some dead now) are trying to keep ahold on there
turf, from the smaller packs of raiding Countries. Core revealed himself as
the real Country of Doom (after aquiring Narcolumbia,Emerald, and Mordor
resort islands). The Leader, Manetheren, in his relentless assaults and
nonstop warring is slowly pulling away from the Pack. tech is getting up
to the 150+ era, and planes are starting to make a major play in the game.
The ships and armies are building up all over the place.

Game Summary

Game experienced some controversy, as one of the players was reportedly cheating. Furthermore, Doom and Chess merged countries using the "cede" command (a command that was available at the time that allowed one country to give another country sectors, with full control to the receiving nation) and then continued to play as one country, but with the rulers of the two original countries. This broke the spirit of an unwritten rule of Empire whereby once a nation leaves a game, the ruler does not participate in the game beyond that point. This happened sometime after July 14th, 1993. The final power report below reflects the power before the game descended into chaos. Shortly after this power report, the power chart leader as of July 14th was removed from the game for swearing at the deity. beep quit in protest. Thus, the game can not be said to have had a true winner.
