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 2 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're pulling from CVS, check out and run bootstrap. This
requires recent versions of Autoconf and Automake to be installed.
(2) Building a server
Prerequisites: GNU make and, ANSI C, a curses library, Perl, nroff
or GNU troff (`groff'), Bourne Shell and the common utilities,
conforming to the Single UNIX Specification Version 2.
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 make fails without doing anything, you're probably not using
GNU make. Some systems have it installed as `gmake'.
Solaris supports SUSv2, but you need to set up your environment
for that. Try passing
SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh PATH=/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.
