Empire is a turn-based 4X wargame, where players command armies of units
|
||
|
|
which they use to explore the game world, control territory, and attack
|
||
|
|
opponents. The game world consists of "sectors", which may be designated as
|
||
|
|
agricultural, industrial, etc. Control of these sectors grants the player a
|
||
|
|
variety of raw and manufactured materials, which they may use to construct
|
||
|
|
dozens of unit types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In each round, the players submit their commands for the activities of their
|
||
|
|
units to the central server, which executes all of the commands either
|
||
|
|
simultaneously or in a sequence. Rounds can last anywhere from a few hours
|
||
|
|
to a day. As such, a full game can take much longer than modern 4X games,
|
||
|
|
depending on the size of the game world; "Blitz" games may last a few hours,
|
||
|
|
while typical games last months and larger games can take up to a year to
|
||
|
|
complete.
