| Choose what to build, who to ally with and who to fight in this text-based wargame set in Fifth Century Athens. The setting is Athens in the 5th century BC. You are beset by hostile armies and fleets from other powerful Greek City States as well as from the vast Persian Empire, and your objective is to survive long enough to turn Athens into the most feared state in the Mediterranean, by building warships, training troops and fighting battles by land and sea. At the beginning of the game (and of each subsequent year), there is a display which is self explanatory. You are asked to decide (by the use of the appropriate symbol, followed by a '?'): how many "Troops" (graphic soldier) you wish to train and how many "Warships" (graphic ship) and "Merchant Ships" (graphic ship with two masts) you wish to build during the course of the year. You also have to decide how many "Allies" (if any), shown by a graphic horseman, you are prepared to grant Athenian Citizenship and how many "Units of Food", if any (indicated by the ear of corn + Imp or Exp) you wish to import/export during the year. All the above are in addition to the figures shown in the display. Although money is deducted from the "Treasury" immediately for Troops, Warships and Merchant Ships, you will not have these extra resources available until the beginning of the following year (by which time all sorts of other things may have happened). |
