"Riverworld"
The first update is at 20:30 EST. To give late-starters a
better chance, Drake has changed the start configuration of this game
somewhat--you begin with 30 sanctuaries, each containing 550 civs.
You can login to the Riverworld blitz as a visitor using either
"Visitor/Visitor" or "visitor/visitor". One neat thing about the
Riverworld blitz is that every night, the game gets videotaped, and
the next day you can download a video of the game (see World Wide
Web). This game now has HUGE nuclear weapons with bleed to sanctuary nations enabled, so if you connect in the afternoon, you should be able to try out the big nuke toys.

"Levante"
The Levante blitz runs modified code which decays commodities every update.

"last correspondence" refers to the date that the EMPIRE NEWS last
received email from the author.

MEC1.1.0 Mac Client
22 Feb 95: "MEC is coming along, just slowly." Version 1.1.0 will
port many of the features of pei to the macintosh (history
substitution, aliasing, functions, scripting, tools, etc.). But the
true intent of this development project is to eventually create a
client (VMEC) that takes advantage of the macintosh's gaphical nature.

myxec-0.3
Ulrich Drepper is just about ready to release version 0.3 of myxec,
but at the moment, he is very involved with a GNU project.

Win3 client:
20 Feb 95: "The win3 client is on hold until I get a software upgrade
(and some time)."

pei 2.0
26 Feb 95: "pei 2.0 is coming slowly."
Sam Tetherow has been rewriting pei. He has been working on alot of
extensions for deities recently which should be available soon. He
hopes to add many new features which may be found in the "WISH_LIST"
file in the package. The big change from the pei 1.* series to the
pei 2.* series will be the way pei communicates with the socket. The
most recent version of pei is always available on euromath.dk in
/pub/incoming (see "Clients").

Deity Database:
If you are interested in being the Deity for a game, or you have a
machine on which we could run an Empire game, then please inform Pat
Loney (see "Who's Who").

Users.Guide:
20 Feb 95: "I'm soon going to be moving on the guide. I suspect release sometime around late March at the pace I am at." Geoff is revising the Empire Users Guide, adding documentation for land units, missions, starv, budget, bestpath, and other features which have been added in the Chainsaw code. He is considering making it "cross-referenced" like a web page. always open to suggestions, and anyone who wants to make comments about what might go into the guide or ideas about it etc is welcome to email him (see "Who's Who?").

WISH LIST:
If you know of any bugs in Empire or if there are any features you'd
like added to Empire, then please mail them to Ken Huisman (see "Who's Who?") with the word "wish" in the subject line. The criterea for new
features being added to the wish list are:
1) It shall improve the player's experience of the game
2) It shall not be too complex (Empire is complex enough already!)
3) It shall not change the game in any fundamental way

Empire.Net
25 Feb 95: "EMPIRE.NET IS GOING LIVE ON OR ABOUT MARCH 17th 1995." Dave Nye is starting his own company which will provide net access to his region. Once Empire.Net is online, it will become the official
ftp archive and www site for Empire. He plans to host Empire games regularly--some of them for cash prizes!

empclient-1.1 - Empire Client
This is the standard bare-bones Unix client.

eif1.0.2 - Empire InterFace
has multiple-game support, command scripting, aliases, history
substitution, access to system files and programs.

pei.1.6 - Perl Empire Interface
is a powerful tool for playing Empire written by Ken Stevens and Sam
Tetherow. There are too many features to list here. Suffice it to
say that if you're an experienced Empire player, you'll appreciate all of
the sophisticated time-saving tools that are built into pei. Download
the latest version from euromath.dk in pub/incoming and never reach
for your calculator again.

xemp5.0.02 - X Empire
is an X-Windows interface for playing Empire.

myxec-0.2 - My X Empire Client
is a new colour X-Windows Empire client. It is not yet available on the ksu
archive, but you may ftp a copy from:
i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:pub/misc/empire/myxec/myxec-0.2.tar.gz
He will put version 0.3 on the ksu archive when it is ready. Due to a
recent disk-failure, this could take longer than expected.

empos2 - Empire for O/S 2
was written by Matt Piermarini who is a friend of Charles A. McCormick.
You can obtain a copy from:
euromath.dk:pub/incoming/empos2.zip

GENIE - GNU Emacs client
Markus Armbruster has released his GNU Emacs Empire client. It has
the basic functionality of emp_client, Emacs comint mode features
(like shell mode), plus a map window, variable and function
substitution. Function substitution remotely resembles shell
functions, but the functions are written in Emacs Lisp, of course.
Predefined functions include one to define ordinary aliases.
The most recent version is available at:
i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:pub/misc/empire/emacs/
(This description was written by Markus)

VMS client 4.0
is a client for VMS systems.

VM/CMS empclient
is a client for VM/CMS systems.

Win3 Empire Client
is the beta release of a client for MS Windows 3.0 which uses winsock
and tcpip.

MEC_1.0.0.cpt.hqx - Macintosh Empire Client
is a communications tool which provides an interface between the
macintosh user and an empire server. Version 1.0 is a port of the
unix program 'empclient-1.1'. It requires System 7.0 and MacTCP.

To add your client to the KSU archive, send email to Karl S. Hagen
(see "Who's Who?") and he'll tell you what to do.

Server

If you want to run a game, you can get the source for the server from
ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/source/chainsaw.3.31.tar.Z
If you do not have GNUmake or mkmf on your system, then you will also
need to get
ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/tools/Deity/emptools.tar.Z
so that you can compile the server.

Before making a game announcement to r.g.e, please ftp
euromath.dk:/pub/incoming/chidocs.sh
to your site and read the "howto" file contained in it. This file
suggests how to announce a game on r.g.e.

Server Project:
--- PAST ---
A team of coders has been working on improving the Empire Server.
Dave Pare merged the three main server programs into one monolith
server which uses threaded client-server communications. There are
now no known bugs in the new Server. Ken Huisman beta-released the
new Server and called it "empire 2 beta 0 revision 0" or
"empire2b0r0". Since then, the server has been ported to SunOS 4.x,
Linux, Unixware, and AIX and about 8 of the WISH LIST items have been
coded.
--- PRESENT ---
The Server Team is currently porting this new server to yet more
platforms, and is continuing to code items on the WISH LIST. The
latest version of the new server available to the public is:
ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/source/empire2b1r6.tar.gz
although, the actual latest version is empire2b1r7.
--- FUTURE ---
Very soon, Ken Huisman will set up an auto-resetting blitz to test
the new server code. It will always use the most recent version of
the code. If all goes well, most of the important items on the WISH
LIST will be addressed within a year and we will have a vastly
improved Empire Server!

Server Mailing List:
The mailing list, a forum of discussion regarding changes to the
server, has been established (with current traffic about 2 mail
messages per month). If, and ONLY IF you are very familiar with the
Empire source code, have experience modifying the Empire source, and
have time to help with the Server project, send mail to
empire-list-request@engg.ksu.edu with the body content: subscribe

Server Extras:
Linux patches for the server are now available at:
i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:/pub/misc/empire/empire.fixes.tar.gz

Kevin Klemmick has modified the plane code to generate more readable air combat reports. Deities are encouraged to replace the aircombat.c and mission.c files in chainsaw.3.31.tar.Z with ones found in:
ftp.cis.ksu.edu:pub/Games/Empire/source/newplanes.sh

Drake Diedrich has uploaded a diff file containing all the bug-fixes
to Chainsaw 3.31 used in the Riverworld games (mostly changes in the
info files and spelling corrections):

which includes the "harmless guide to empire", up-or-down status of
currently running games, the Chainsaw 3.31 info pages (in hypertext
format), and reports and mpeg videos of recent Riverworld blitzes.

Karl S. Hagen used to maintain an Empire WWW page at:
http://www.engg.ksu.edu/empire/
which includes an outdated Empire FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions),
some not-up-to-date back issues of this newsletter, and a WWW
interface to the out of date KSU Empire software archives. In case
you missed the hint, we need a new archive site. If you can help,
please email Karl or me.

What's the World Wide Web? See for yourself. To quote Drake
Diedrich, "It's way cool."

You can find the World Wide Web FAQ in:
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/faq
It is posted frequently to the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.users,
and may be found on the Web at:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/www_faq.html

You can obtain Lynx, the standard vt100 WWW client, via anonymous ftp to: ftp2.cc.ukans.edu:/pub/lynx/lynx2-3.tar.Z
Graphic clients are available for most platforms (see the WWW FAQ).
