FODDER. Another word for easy prey.

Don't take offense to your newly acquired title. You are about to become introduced to a new way of thinking, a new way of gaming.

You're probably exactly as I was several years ago. Bored with the stand-alone, single player games, with their silly plots, and even sillier AI.

Well, get ready for something more. This ain't a cakewalk game, kid. In this game, if you aren't on your toes, you're dead meat. In other words, FODDER.

This game pits your skills at running a country against other human players from around the world. This game can take months. Meticulous planning, important decision making, treaties, wars, skirmishes, if you survive them all, then maybe you'll live long enough to see your country go up in smoke at the receiving end of a good 'ole nuclear missle.

Sounds like the kind of game you'd be interested in? I knew it would. So now you've got questions. Well, the planet's empire web has the answers. Explore.

Good luck. If you're lucky, someone will be calling you FODDER real soon...
