Barren Realms Elite is a 25-player strategic war-game.  The setting is in the future - nuclear destruction has spread throughout the planet, and now only a vast barren void exists.  You, as a baron under a great king, must expand your barony throughout the planet, taking advantage of natural resources such as rivers and mountains to become the ultimate baron.  This task is not easy though -- you must keep your population content, while maintaining a military large enough to defend your empire against other barons.  You must balance size and strength, attack, trade with, and make alliances with other barons.  Pirates throughout the planet will constantly plunder the great leaders -- making your job even harder.

But there's one more enemy you may face.  Barren Realms Elite's Inter-BBS capabilities allow you to hook up with up to 254 other BBS's for head-to-head competition.  Expand alliances throughout the world - the real world - and work as a team fighting for your king and planet.

BRE is a simple to play and learn game, and it's very configurable so the sysop can make his/her game unique.  We have tried to make BRE as simple to install and maintain as possible, and neither the Inter-BBS or Local play really requires any maintainence by the sysop.  We hope you run and enjoy this game!
