EMP_CLIENT(1)

NAME
emp_client - Empire server

SYNOPSIS
emp_client [ country [ password ] ] [ -k ] [ -2outfile ]

DESCRIPTION
emp_client is a bare bones client to connect to the Empire server. Empire is a global economic/political/military simulation game wherein players, representing national governments, make "real-time" decisions concerning resource allocation, national goals, international diplomatic efforts, etc. Extensive records are kept for all players.

WARNING -- This game is not only addictive but often peels back the thin veneer of civilization that hides the maniac within.
