│Φ≥ KINGDOM Version 1.00 ±Ω│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
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!
