To give late-starters a better chance, Drake has changed the start configuration of this game somewhat--you begin with 30 sanctuaries, each containing 550 civs. You can login to the Riverworld blitz as a visitor using either "Visitor/Visitor" or "visitor/visitor". One neat thing about the Riverworld blitz is that every night, the game gets videotaped, and the next day you can download a video of the game (see World Wide Web). This game now has HUGE nuclear weapons with bleed to sanctuary nations enabled, so if you connect in the afternoon, you should be able to try out the big nuke toys. "Levante" The Levante blitz runs modified code which decays commodities every update. ------------------------------ Subject: Current Projects These are the projects that Empire coders are currently working on: project author platform language last correspondence =========================================================================== MEC1.1.0 Ashley A Thomas Macintosh THINK Pascal 22 Feb 95 myxec-0.3 Ulrich Drepper X Windows C 16 Jan 95 Win3 client Pat Loney MS Windows C++ 20 Feb 95 pei 2.0 Sam Tetherow UNIX perl 26 Feb 95 Deity Database Pat Loney 20 Feb 95 Users.Guide Geoff Cashman 20 Feb 95 WISH LIST Ken Huisman 16 Feb 95 Empire.Net David Nye 25 Feb 95 "last correspondence" refers to the date that the EMPIRE NEWS last received email from the author. MEC1.1.0 Mac Client 22 Feb 95: "MEC is coming along, just slowly." Version 1.1.0 will port many of the features of pei to the macintosh (history substitution, aliasing, functions, scripting, tools, etc.). But the true intent of this development project is to eventually create a client (VMEC) that takes advantage of the macintosh's gaphical nature. myxec-0.3 Ulrich Drepper is just about ready to release version 0.3 of myxec, but at the moment, he is very involved with a GNU project. Win3 client: 20 Feb 95: "The win3 client is on hold until I get a software upgrade (and some time)." pei 2.0 26 Feb 95: "pei 2.0 is coming slowly." Sam Tetherow has been rewriting pei. He has been working on alot of extensions for deities recently which should be available soon. He hopes to add many new features which may be found in the "WISH_LIST" file in the package. The big change from the pei 1.* series to the pei 2.* series will be the way pei communicates with the socket. The most recent version of pei is always available on euromath.dk in /pub/incoming (see "Clients"). Deity Database: If you are interested in being the Deity for a game, or you have a machine on which we could run an Empire game, then please inform Pat Loney (see "Who's Who"). Users.Guide: 20 Feb 95: "I'm soon going to be moving on the guide. I suspect release sometime around late March at the pace I am at." Geoff is revising the Empire Users Guide, adding documentation for land units, missions, starv, budget, bestpath, and other features which have been added in the Chainsaw code. He is considering making it "cross-referenced" like a web page. always open to suggestions, and anyone who wants to make comments about what might go into the guide or ideas about it etc is welcome to email him (see "Who's Who?"). WISH LIST: If you know of any bugs in Empire or if there are any features you'd like added to Empire, then please mail them to Ken Huisman (see "Who's Who?") with the word "wish" in the subject line. The criterea for new features being added to the wish list are: 1) It shall improve the player's experience of the game 2) It shall not be too complex (Empire is complex enough already!) 3) It shall not change the game in any fundamental way Empire.Net 25 Feb 95: "EMPIRE.NET IS GOING LIVE ON OR ABOUT MARCH 17th 1995." Dave Nye is starting his own company which will provide net access to his region. Once Empire.Net is online, it will become the official ftp archive and www site for Empire. He plans to host Empire games regularly--some of them for cash prizes! ------------------------------ Subject: Clients If the client has an 'x' in the first column, then it is in: ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/clients Otherwise, read the description of the client to find out where you can get it. ksu submitted name size author system lang works? ============================================================================== x Jun 23 93 empclient-1.1.tar.Z 20 Dave Pare & company Unix C yes x May 27 94 eif1.0.2.tar.Z 160 Doug Hay Unix C yes Dec 15 94 pei.1.6.tar.Z 162 Ken & Sam Unix perl yes x Apr 19 93 xemp5.0.02.tar.Z 1333 Etienne X-windows C yes Jan 18 94 myxec-0.2.tar.gz 529 Ulrich Drepper X-Windows C yes Jan 22 95 empos2.zip 31 Charles A.

There are too many features to list here. Suffice it to say that if you're an experienced Empire player, you'll appreciate all of the sophisticated time-saving tools that are built into pei. Download the latest version from euromath.dk in pub/incoming and never reach for your calculator again. xemp5.0.02 - X Empire is an X-Windows interface for playing Empire. myxec-0.2 - My X Empire Client is a new colour X-Windows Empire client. It is not yet available on the ksu archive, but you may ftp a copy from: i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:pub/misc/empire/myxec/myxec-0.2.tar.gz He will put version 0.3 on the ksu archive when it is ready. Due to a recent disk-failure, this could take longer than expected. empos2 - Empire for O/S 2 was written by Matt Piermarini who is a friend of Charles A. McCormick. You can obtain a copy from: euromath.dk:pub/incoming/empos2.zip GENIE - GNU Emacs client Markus Armbruster has released his GNU Emacs Empire client. It has the basic functionality of emp_client, Emacs comint mode features (like shell mode), plus a map window, variable and function substitution. Function substitution remotely resembles shell functions, but the functions are written in Emacs Lisp, of course. Predefined functions include one to define ordinary aliases. The most recent version is available at: i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:pub/misc/empire/emacs/ (This description was written by Markus) VMS client 4.0 is a client for VMS systems. VM/CMS empclient is a client for VM/CMS systems. Win3 Empire Client is the beta release of a client for MS Windows 3.0 which uses winsock and tcpip. MEC_1.0.0.cpt.hqx - Macintosh Empire Client is a communications tool which provides an interface between the macintosh user and an empire server. Version 1.0 is a port of the unix program 'empclient-1.1'. It requires System 7.0 and MacTCP. To add your client to the KSU archive, send email to Karl S. Hagen (see "Who's Who?") and he'll tell you what to do. ------------------------------ Subject: Documentation By far the best introduction to Empire may be found on the World Wide Web at: http://random.chem.psu.edu/empire/guide.html The Empire FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is available at: rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/games/empire/faq and in hypertext format: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/games/empire/faq/faq.html Another description of what empire is may be found in: ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/WhatIsEmpire-FAQ.txt Chainsaw info pages: ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/docs/chainsaw.3.0.info.tar.Z The info pages are also available on WWW at: http://random.chem.psu.edu/empire/info/ Users Guide (presently being revised) ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/docs/Users.Guide If you see a change that needs to be made to the info pages, then please get a copy of the troff page from http://random/empire/info.t/, make the change yourself, and then mail it to Drake Diedrich (see "Who's Who"). ------------------------------ Subject: Server If you want to run a game, you can get the source for the server from ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/source/chainsaw.3.31.tar.Z If you do not have GNUmake or mkmf on your system, then you will also need to get ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/tools/Deity/emptools.tar.Z so that you can compile the server. Before making a game announcement to r.g.e, please ftp euromath.dk:/pub/incoming/chidocs.sh to your site and read the "howto" file contained in it. This file suggests how to announce a game on r.g.e. Server Project: --- PAST --- A team of coders has been working on improving the Empire Server. Dave Pare merged the three main server programs into one monolith server which uses threaded client-server communications. There are now no known bugs in the new Server. Ken Huisman beta-released the new Server and called it "empire 2 beta 0 revision 0" or "empire2b0r0". Since then, the server has been ported to SunOS 4.x, Linux, Unixware, and AIX and about 8 of the WISH LIST items have been coded. --- PRESENT --- The Server Team is currently porting this new server to yet more platforms, and is continuing to code items on the WISH LIST. The latest version of the new server available to the public is: ftp.cis.ksu.edu:/pub/Games/Empire/source/empire2b1r6.tar.gz although, the actual latest version is empire2b1r7. --- FUTURE --- Very soon, Ken Huisman will set up an auto-resetting blitz to test the new server code. It will always use the most recent version of the code. If all goes well, most of the important items on the WISH LIST will be addressed within a year and we will have a vastly improved Empire Server! Server Mailing List: The mailing list, a forum of discussion regarding changes to the server, has been established (with current traffic about 2 mail messages per month). If, and ONLY IF you are very familiar with the Empire source code, have experience modifying the Empire source, and have time to help with the Server project, send mail to empire-list-request@engg.ksu.edu with the body content: subscribe Server Extras: Linux patches for the server are now available at: i44ftp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de:/pub/misc/empire/empire.fixes.tar.gz Kevin Klemmick has modified the plane code to generate more readable air combat reports. Deities are encouraged to replace the aircombat.c and mission.c files in chainsaw.3.31.tar.Z with ones found in: ftp.cis.ksu.edu:pub/Games/Empire/source/newplanes.sh Drake Diedrich has uploaded a diff file containing all the bug-fixes to Chainsaw 3.31 used in the Riverworld games (mostly changes in the info files and spelling corrections): ftp.cis.ksu.edu:pub/Games/Empire/source/diff.cs.river.Z ------------------------------ Subject: World Wide Web Drake Diedrich maintains an Empire WWW page at: http://random.chem.psu.edu/empire/ which includes the "harmless guide to empire", up-or-down status of currently running games, the Chainsaw 3.31 info pages (in hypertext format), and reports and mpeg videos of recent Riverworld blitzes. Karl S. Hagen used to maintain an Empire WWW page at: http://www.engg.ksu.edu/empire/ which includes an outdated Empire FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), some not-up-to-date back issues of this newsletter, and a WWW interface to the out of date KSU Empire software archives. In case you missed the hint, we need a new archive site. If you can help, please email Karl or me. What's the World Wide Web? See for yourself. To quote Drake Diedrich, "It's way cool." You can find the World Wide Web FAQ in: rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/faq It is posted frequently to the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.users, and may be found on the Web at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/www_faq.html You can obtain Lynx, the standard vt100 WWW client, via anonymous ftp to: ftp2.cc.ukans.edu:/pub/lynx/lynx2-3.tar.Z Graphic clients are available for most platforms (see the WWW FAQ). ------------------------------ Subject: Who's Who?
