.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B empire
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
WARNING -- This game is not only addictive but often peels back
|
|
the thin veneer of civilization that hides the maniac within.
|
|

Load command history from \fIhistfile\fP, and save it back. Default

with \fB\-H\fP and \fB\-2\fP then.
