Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good;
and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.
--- Dick Brandon

CHANGES2.0

Empire2". For an overview of Empire versions, see "info
History".
CHANGES2.3
Detailed revision history for Empire2 changes since version
2.3, also covered by "info Empire2"

meant for deities and players is in "info Empire3".
There is no detailed revision history for versions 4.0.0 to

control system, currently Git. The version meant for deities
and players is in "info Empire4".
