Markus Armbruster 43a0a4a451 update: Reorder feeding, tax & plague for consistency
People in sectors get plagued, then taxed or paid, then fed.  People
on ships and land units get paid, then fed, then plagued.  Sectors
were messed up when Empire 3 made the update code work for budget.

Change sectors back to how they worked before Empire 3: move do_feed()
from produce_sect() to prepare_sects(), and delay do_plague() until
after do_feed().  People in sectors now get taxed, paid and fed even
when they die of the plague, just like they do on ships and land
units.

Because do_plague() now runs after populace(), the latter's handling
of people dying off doesn't cover plague anymore.  Delay it to the
very end of prepare_sects().

Additionally, move feeding and plaguing from upd_ship(), upd_land() to
prep_ship(), prep_land(), for consistency with sectors.

Welcome to Empire 4, code-named Wolfpack.

Empire is a multi-player, client/server Internet based war game.

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License (in file
`COPYING'), or (at your option) any later version.

See file `CREDITS' for a list of contributors.

Directory `doc' has additional information.  File `doc/README'
describes the files there and what they talk about.

To build the server and set up a game, follow the steps below.

(1) Unpacking the source tree

    If you downloaded a tarball, unpack it.

    If you cloned a git repository, run bootstrap.  This requires
    recent versions of Autoconf and Automake to be installed.  See
    also doc/contributing.

(2) Building a server

    Prerequisites: IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1-2001), GNU make, a
    curses library, Perl, and either nroff or GNU troff (`groff').

    See file `INSTALL' for detailed compilation and installation
    instructions.  Quick guide for the impatient: run configure; make;
    make install.  The last step is optional; everything runs fine
    right from the build tree.

    If configure reports "terminfo: no" in its configuration summary,
    highlighting doesn't work in the client.  Commonly caused by not
    having development libraries installed.  On Linux, try installing
    ncurses-devel.

    If make fails without doing anything, you're probably not using
    GNU make.  Some systems have it installed as `gmake'.

    Solaris supports POSIX.1-2001, but you need to set up your
    environment for that.  Try passing
        SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh PATH=/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:$PATH
    to make.  See standards(5) for details.

(3) Creating a game

    * Create a configuration for your game.  make install installs one
      in $prefix/etc/empire/econfig ($prefix is /usr/local unless you
      chose something else with configure).  You can use pconfig to
      create another one.

    * Edit your configuration file.  See doc/econfig for more
      information.

      Unless you put your configuration file in the default location
      (where make install installs it), you have to use -e with all
      programs to make them use your configuration.

    * Run files to set up your data directory.

    * Run fairland to create a world.  For a sample world, try
      `fairland 10 30'.  This creates file ./newcap_script, which will
      be used below.  You can edit it to change country names and
      passwords.

      Check out fairland's manual page for more information.

    * Start the server.  For development, you want to run it with -d
      in a debugger, see doc/debugging.  Do not use -d for a real
      game!

    * Log in as deity POGO with password peter.  This guide assumes
      you use the included client `empire', but other clients should
      work as well.

      For help, try `info'.

      To change the deity password, use `change re <password>'.

    * Create countries with `exec newcap_script'.

    Your game is now up!

Naturally, there's more to running a real game than that, but that's
beyond the scope of this file.
