-
- The object of πKingdomΩ is simple: You are the ruler of a πkingdomΩ, make the
- biggest and most productive πkingdomΩ that you can in 50 years. You will start
- off with a minimal amount of materials to work with. You must use these
- materials to survive and produce more materials.
-
- The basic unit of the game are σbushelsΩ. σBushelsΩ are food, seed, and currency
- all wrapped into one. Needless to say it is the key to the entire game. Every
- season you will be required to make a number of decisions. First you must
- decide how many σbushelsΩ to give to your ∞peasantsΩ to eat for the season. The
- more they eat, the happier they are. They will work harder in the fields and
- tend to make a few more babies, and less will generally die if they have some-
- thing to live for. Next you must decide whether or not to buy or sell any
- εlandΩ. Each acre of εlandΩ you buy or sell is traded for σbushelsΩ. If you sell
- εland∞ you will get σbushelsΩ in return, and vice versa. The market price
- fluctuates over different seasons. Finally you decide how many acres to plant.
- It takes one σbushelΩ to plant an acre. The more you plant the more you will
- potentially reap. Be careful, planting all your σbushelsΩ can be dangerous! You
- might want to keep some σbushelsΩ in store in case you have a bad year. Be sure
- to realize that ∞peasantsΩ can only plant a certain amount of land. The game will
- let you know if you are overworking your ∞peasantsΩ.
-
- At the end of the year you will receive a report stating how well the reaping
- went, how many births and deaths occurred and other information. If you ever
- run out of ∞peasantsΩ, εlandΩ, or σbushelsΩ, then the game is over. Note that the
- more births you have the more ∞peasantsΩ you will have to work in the fields.
-
- That's basically it. It's a simple, but often frustrating games, especially
- when you are trying to secure the high score of your local BBS. Remember that
- the key to running a productive πkingdomΩ is to make you ∞peasantsΩ happy!
-
- The level of difficulty can be set by your ΦSYSOPΩ. The easy level your main
- object is to get used to how the game works, and be as productive as possible.
- The medium level is not so easy to master, and once you get to the hard level
- you might find yourself just fighting to stay alive!
