continent of Elysium. The game is turn-based, and can be played by up

Modes of play



After starting the game you will be prompted to choose a game-play

mode. The choices are Random world, Customized world, Scenario, Load

game and Quit. You may make your choice by using the mouse or the

keys 1-5. If you choose to customize your world you will be prompted

to choose the size of the world and the society on which the world is

based. There are six different societies to choose from.





The first society is the dark ages when man first comes to Elysium.

Ruins of long-dead civilizations lie scattered through the realm and

dragons roam the lands. Elven courts and dwarven cities are not yet

destroyed. Human influence is weak and the forces of nature strong.

There are few cities in these early times.



The second society is the agricultural period when man subdues the

wild lands of Elysium. Cities are rare, but hamlets and villages lie

in every corner of the continent. It is a time of heroes and

pioneers.



The third society is the empire, forged from the colonies of the

pioneers. A great capital city is being built, and others cities

founded, to provide for the growing population. New military units

are being developed to quell uprisings within the realm and to fight

the barbarian hordes pouring down from the north. The villages of the

empire are growing into cities and the forests are being cut down.



The fourth society is the interregnum. The empire has fallen.

Battlefields and ruins of the empire litter the lands. Few cities and

villages remain. Human lands are in chaos, and bandits roam the

lands. Only a powerful leader will be able to rebuild the empire.



The fifth society is the monarchy. Feudal lords rule their estates

from towers of stone, gathering powers for their king. There are many

fortresses and towers, but the cities of the empire have yet to be

rebuilt.



The sixth society is the dawn of a new empire. Cities are once again

growing and the future of humankind looks bright and promising. The

hard years are forgotten and the leaders of the lands are hopeful.
