Version 2.0
There you stand: alone, confident.
The building whose baroque balcony rails you are gripping is a
massive structure - actually the capital building of your country.
You gaze up at the clear, azure sky, then downwards to the skyline
of your beautiful capital city. A humbling aura of history clouds
your thoughts - but not your vision - as you further lower your
gaze to the city streets below.
There is a noise rising from there.
Rather, there is a thunder rising!
Incredibly, as far as your eyes can see, the streets,
boulevards, byways, and even alleyways of your city are packed with
the people responsible for your rise to power as their supreme
leader. Masses of loyal, idealistic faces return your gaze as they
voice their approval of your mission with long, loud, appreciative
cheers!

Your mission? Nothing less than to conquer the entire planet
and institute a worldwide government under the auspices of your
beloved ideology.
World Empire is a strategy game based on a time in the not too
distant future when nationalism is on the decline... The people of
the world are tired of the weakened nationalist governments that
are constantly bickering with one another over trade restrictions
and border disagreements.
The beliefs of the world population have polarized into two to
four ideologies (depending on the number of players in the game!).
Each ideology has a strong, determined leader who considers
himself to be militarily capable of uniting the world under one
government.
Here is a brief summary of the four major ideologies and their
leaders:
┌─────────────────────────────┐
▄│ The Populist Movement │
█└─────────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
It has been 10 years since the Populist movement swept like
wildfire around the world. Growing out of the democratic movement
that sprang up in Europe during the late 1980's, it was carried by
enthusiastic students, artists, and intellectuals who organized
rallies, protests, and marches.
Their enthusiasm led to the overthrow of a number of
governments. Local populations joined them and the populist flag
became synonymous with youth. They have a dynamic leader who has
promised that one day they will cover the whole world. He has
raised a number of armies of his own and rumor has it that he plans
to take over leadership of other populist countries as well as
defeat the three other world parties.
┌─────────────────────────────┐
▄│ The Militarist Ideology │
█└─────────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Disgruntled army leaders executed rapid coups in a number of
African countries during the last years of the 20th century. The
subsequent success of the economies of those countries led to
growing support for military leadership in other nations.
A fiery young army officer in Morocco (now North Africa) rose
rapidly to the rank of general and his charismatic personality has
generated a great deal of followers who regard him as a potential
world leader. The Militarist ideology bears close watching in
future years.

┌─────────────────────────────┐
▄│ The Socialist Ideology │
█└─────────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Socialists owe their beginnings to a group of Central American
countries who amalgamated in 2004 and formed a coalition promoting
world unity as a means for better distribution of national
resources. Opposition in their home territory has, at times, tipped
the balance of power and ousted them.
However, their ideology has aroused a lot of support among some
countries. At present the most powerful exponent of it, both
militarily and philosophically is a highly educated young general
noted for his military campaigns and his best selling book "Share
The Wealth or Lose It". Some critics feel that his world unity
plans call for one leader, himself!
┌─────────────────────────────┐
▄│ The Realists │
█└─────────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Many people don't remember the obscure beginnings of the
Realist ideology. Apparently, it started in a small village in
eastern Canada, known as Pugwash Junction, by a frustrated smoker
who felt that cigarette taxes were too high. He organized
thousands of disgruntled smokers who overthrew the government and
dropped cigarette prices from $6.46 a pack to 25 cents. Gradually,
the push for realistic prices spread to other things.
The present head of the Realist Party can't remember what
happened next; but it must have been quite a bit since the Realists
are determined to take over the world with their leader, a
grandchild of the original Pugwash Junction revolutionary (and a
non-smoker!).
┌─────────────────────────────┐
▄│ T H E C H A L L E N G E │
█└─────────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Can you do it? Can you defeat the other ideological leaders
and create your own empire?
Or, if you haven't anyone else to conquer, can you defeat the
evil General - 'Chip' Silicon - in Computer Play Mode?
What are REVOLUTIONS?
World Empire will provide the answers to these questions and
give you hours of enjoyable hegemony!
Enjoy! "May you always occupy fully".

▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Make sure you're in the directory where all of the files
included with World Empire have been copied. Now type "EMPIRE" at
the DOS prompt and press <ENTER>. After the title screen appears
(the one with the globe!), press the <ENTER> key on your keyboard
to begin.
A window will pop up offering the you the choices: Start the
game at NOVICE level, EXPERT level, or Load A Saved Game. If you
haven't any saved games you wish to load, use the <ARROW KEYS> to
move the Sword over the button beside NOVICE or EXPERT and press
<ENTER>.
You will be asked to enter the number of players. World Empire
can be played by 1 to 4 human players. If a one player game is
selected, game play will take place against the computer.
Each player will then be asked to enter their name. Throughout
the game, the program will refer to each player by their name
prefaced with "General", so be sure to enter your name with this in
mind!
MOUSE NOTE: The Mouse Text Entry Window
-----------
If you would like to use the mouse for input, press the RIGHT
BUTTON when the flashing input cursor is displayed. A special
window for mouse text entry will pop up. Use the arrow and the
Letter Boxes just as you do your fingers and the keyboard. When
your typing is complete, place the arrow over the little box to the
left of the word "DONE", and press the RIGHT BUTTON.
The window will disappear, and what you have typed will be
displayed in its normal location on the screen. If what you typed
appears acceptable, press the RIGHT BUTTON again to continue.
Otherwise, pressing the LEFT BUTTON will bring back the mouse entry
window so you can edit what was entered.
After entering their name, each player is assigned an ideology
(unless computer play mode is active) - and the flag that
corresponds to that ideology is displayed. The player will keep
this ideology throughout the entire game (Or until he surrenders to
an opponent!).
Map Color Menu ┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Next, a selection of map colors is offered. Use the <ARROW
KEYS> to place the Arrow on your choice and press <ENTER>.
Depending on the colors chosen, each player is assigned a color to
which any country he conquers will change.

Bon Voyage Screen ┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────
At this point, a screen will be displayed allowing each player
to view their "portrait", as well as the name of their "Kicking
Off" country (starting position).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing The Game
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Startup procedure, the GLOBAL MAP of the world is
drawn.
Each player's home country will be painted in his or her own
color and their flag will fly high over that country. A window with
the name of the player who will play first appears informing them
that this is their turn.
Press <ENTER> and this window is replaced by a large purple
Arrow.
Before beginning game play, we'll explain the GAME OPTION MENU
selections. Move the Arrow (using the <ARROW KEYS>) to the small
flag displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the Global Map.
This flag serves two purposes: as a constant reminder of whose turn
it is; and as the button for the Game Option Menu.
Press <ENTER> with the Arrow over this flag and the Game Option
Menu will pop up.
NOTE: You can also pull up the Game Option Menu by pressing the
<ESC> key when you are viewing the Global Map.
There are seven options which can be selected from the Game
Option Menu. They are:
1. Exit Empire
2. Surrender
3. Sound On/Off
4. Blitzkrieg Mode On/Off
5. Save Game
6. New Game / Load Game
7. About Empire
A brief explanation of each selection follows:
Exit Empire Option ┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option to End the game. Remember to save the game
if you wish to continue at a later date.

___Alternatives_______________________________________________________
Surrender Option ┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option only if you find there is no hope of
winning. You may surrender to any of your opponents. When a
player voluntarily surrenders, all countries he owns are turned
over to the player he surrenders to. Additionally, any country
whose original ideology was the same as the player who surrendered
will change to the ideology of the player to whom he surrendered.
Sound Option ┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option to turn the sound on and off. If the sound
is on when this option is selected, it will be turned off. If the
sound is off, it will be turned on.
Blitzkrieg Mode Option ┼──────────────────────────────────────────────
This option is used to speed up the attack process. Setting it
to "On" will cause all Automatic Attack animation sequences to be
suppressed. This can come in handy when high numbers of armies are
engaged in a battle.
Save Game Option ┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option to SAVE the current game in order to resume
play at a later date.
New Game / Load Game Option ┼─────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option to LOAD a previously saved game or to have
the computer generate a NEW game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
How To Conquer!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That explains the Game Option Menu, now we'll move on to game
play!
Player one: use the <ARROW KEYS> to place the big purple Arrow
over the continent where your home country is located and press the
<ENTER> key. A large map (the CONTINENTAL MAP) of that continent
will be shown on the screen. Each player is given 30 or 56 armies
to begin their assault. Move the Arrow to your home country (unless
it's already there!).

Software World Empire User Manual
___Alternatives_______________________________________________________
NOTE: If you wish to go directly to a country without using the
arrow keys you may press the first letter of the
country's name and the arrow will jump to the first
country whose name begins with that letter. Continue
pressing that letter until the arrow is over the country
you want.
After selecting your country, press <ENTER> and a menu will pop
up offering you four options:
1. Distribute armies
2. Attack
3. Transfer Armies
4. Pass
An explanation of each option follows:
Distribute Armies Option ┼────────────────────────────────────────────
This can be done at any time during your turn, and the armies
can be distributed into any of the countries owned by the current
player. As long as there are new armies to distribute, the Sword
will automatically go to the "Distribute Armies" option. See the
section titled "Transfer Armies" for detailed instructions on how
to use the distribution buttons.
NOTE: When you are viewing any of the 6 Continental Maps you
may see a list of the countries bordering the country
your arrow is on by pressing the <F1> key. This list
shows: Bordering countries, the number of armies in each
country, the country's owner (by flag and color), and the
country's original ideology (by flag).
Attack Option ┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
You can only attack a country that borders on your chosen
country. Place the Sword on this option and press the <ENTER> key.
A window will appear listing all the countries that border the
country you are attacking from. You may attack any of these
countries (unless you already own them!).
Beside each country is a flag, a colored block, and another
flag. The first flag and colored block represent the current owner
of that country, the second flag represents that country's ideology
before it was conquered. If there is no colored block, it
indicates the country has yet to be conquered.
Place the sword on the button beside the country you wish to
attack and press <ENTER>.
Page 10
Viable
Software World Empire User Manual
___Alternatives_______________________________________________________
The Attack Window will pop up. During an attack the attacker
is on the right side of the screen and the defender is on the left
side of the screen. The winner of each battle is determined by who
has more soldiers or tanks remaining after the battle. In the
event of a tie the outcome is determined by each country's
ideology.
If you attack a country which shares your ideology, then you
win the tie, but if you attack a country with a hostile ideology,
they win the tie.
Winners of these individual battles are determined randomly. If
you are having bad luck you can break off an attack at any time by
using the <ESC> key.
When you conquer a country, a representative picture of the
native people of that country will appear on the screen.
If you conquered a country which originally shared your
ideology the people will be smiling and in order to occupy that
country you will need only one army of occupation.
If the country you've just acquired was originally hostile to
your ideology, then the people will be frowning and you will need a
two to four armies to occupy your new country.
If you decide to put less than the recommended number of armies
in a country, you are risking REVOLUTION in that country. A
Revolution can take place at any time during one of the next your
next few turns.
You'll have to decide whether it's worth the risk. After a
revolution takes place the player of the original ideology of that
country is given control of that country and is awarded 5 armies to
occupy that country. Avoid Revolutions! They waste armies and can
give an opponent a foothold in your territory.
Transfer Armies Option ┼──────────────────────────────────────────────
You may transfer armies from one country to another - any time
you wish in this version of World Empire.
To accomplish the transfer, move the Sword to the button in
front of the "Transfer Armies" selection, and press <ENTER>. A
window with a list of countries to which you can transfer will pop
up. Move the Sword to the country you wish to transfer the armies
to, and press <ENTER>.
Place the Sword on the button beside the (Plus +) sign and
press the <SPACEBAR> to add the armies to their new country. If a
mistake is made, use <ARROW KEYS> to move the sword to the button
beside the (Minus -) sign and press the <SPACEBAR> to decrease the
armies you added in the new country.

Pass Option ┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose this option to end your turn - and the next player's
turn will begin.
NOTE: You can also Pass when viewing the Global Map by pressing
the <F1> function key.
Strategies For Multi-Player Games ┼───────────────────────────────────
Your possible strategies will vary depending on where your home
country is in relation to your opponent's. Here are a few
suggestions:
Go For The Throat:
This strategy involves taking the shortest route to your
opponent as soon as the game begins. You then use the armies given
you for the conquests made along the way and hope they make you
strong enough to engage your enemy when you arrive!
Conquer And Fortify:
This one is usually succesful in earning large numbers of
armies. First conquer all of the countries in your present
continent, then fortify the countries in your continent that border
other continents. When you feel your continent is sufficiently
protected, move on to the next continent you want to conquer.
Look at the ideologies of a continent to decide whether to take it
or not. Lots of friendly flags are a good omen.
Guerilla Warfare and Subversion:
Hang back while your opponent conquers his continent, but take
countries to earn armies while moving closer to his countries.
Then, at an opportune moment, you strike. Focusing on countries
belonging to him, but that share your ideology, take away enough of
his occupying armies that a revolution can take place in that
country. If he cannot re-occupy the country soon enough, a
revolution in that country will give you control of it - and five
new armies. It is a bit risky though!
Strategies For Games With 'Chip' Silicon (the computer) ┼─────────────
You're on your own here! We CAN tell you that 'Chip' prefers
the Conquer and Fortify Strategy, that he likes masses of armies,
that he is single-minded, and dislikes suprises. Good luck!

surrender to the player who defeated them. The player who defeats
all of his/her opponents is declared the winner!
The Emperor's Hall Of Fame ┼──────────────────────────────────────────

eligible for the Hall of Fame.

▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
1. The routine for entering player names and saved game names
with the mouse has been repaired and is fully functional.
2. The Battle scenes for 'Chip' Silicon's turn have been
reduced to a single window showing the country being attacked,
where from, and the army status as the attack progresses.
3. A bug that hung the program when a player's last country
was lost to a revolution has been removed.
4. Multiple computer opponent capability for the registered
version of the game (it's a blast!). After entering "1" at the
'Number Of Players' prompt, a window will appear inquiring who you
want to play:
'Chip' Silicon
The Demonic Duo ('Chip' and Peril L. Port)
The Terrible Trio ('Chip', Peril, and Data Buss)
Meet Our Friends...
Move the sword to your selection and press [ENTER]. Good Luck!
5. A small bug in the battle routine was preventing easy wins
when a country's ideology was the same as the attacker's.
Fixed!
6. This version incorporates "fairness in destruction" in
computer play mode. 'Chip', and the others, of course, begin there
quest in one randomly selected country - just like you!
Tranferring armies no longer ends your turn, so strategic
opportunities are more numerous.
My thanks to ULTIMATE SOFTWARE for publishing the game and
giving us the opportunity to provide the kind of support and update
capability that a game like WORLD EMPIRE deserves.

▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Many changes for this version, although most are invisible.
1. Smoother, more intelligent computer play - 'Chip' and
his cohorts (from the Registered version) are now more
aggressive and also defend themselves a bit better.
2. Recruited armies may be distributed at any time during a
player's turn, rather than at the beginning.
3. More bonus armies for conquered continents!
4. Menu 'hotkey' selection - just press the first letter of
the menu selection you want and the menu sword will move
to a selection that starts with that letter.
5. If a country originally shared your ideology you WILL
recieve assistance from that country's resistance in
this version (you WIN ties).
6. Two bugs have been repaired - one which caused a
computer lockup in some systems at the very end of the
game, and a nasty that caused 'Chip' to throw away
armies in Australia, whether he owned it or not!
7. When a game is saved, the status of Blitzkrieg Mode is
now saved as well.
