 | | The concept of the game is that each player starts with one city in an unexplored world, uses the city to build armies, aircraft, and various types of ships from transports to battleships, explores the world, capturing cities as they are found and using them to build more military units. |
 | | The more complex Empire game also dates from the 1970s, and was originally designed by Peter S. Langston[?] to be a comprehensive economic simulation with dozens of players participating. |
 | | The game is turn-based, with players giving their orders at their convenience, then being executed all at once by the game server, at set intervals ranging from a few hours to once/day. |
