- ***** Game description *****
-
- General is a turn-by-turn military economic strategy.
-
- A random map is generated, on which countries are shown. You are the ruler
- of one of the countries. The objective is to conquer the world, and destroy
- all the other countries.
-
- The game has up to 20 participants. Each of the countries is trying to
- survive and destroy the others. You will play against the computer which has
- a very high level of intellect. The computer plays honestly! This is the
- best thing in the game - a real computer intelligence that never cheats and
- cannot even see the amount of your money, number of soldiers etc.
-
- In order to accompish the objective you will need to deal with the issues of
- economy, science and military aggression against other countries. You will
- hire scientists, recruit soldiers and generals. In any case, if you will be
- passive and will not try to conquer others, they will conquer you.
-
- The game has an excellent multiplayer mode. You can play with your friends
- using a local network (LAN), a modem, LPT or COM ports, or Internet. It is
- possible for several players to play on one computer.
-
- It is interesting to play with friends as players do not see the
- achievements of the others. And computer plays so well that sometimes it is
- very difficult to guess, which of the players are human. This introduces an
- interesting element into the game, as you are not only trying to win, but
- also to deduce which state is governed by your friend (it is him who is the
- real opponent!). There is a timer in the game, so that no one thinks too
- long! Three people can easily play the game through, with maximum settings,
- in 3-4 hours!
-
- The game uses the mode of simultaneous turn processing (the Hot Seat). This
- makes all players equal. The first player has no advantage.
-
