Description:

Galactic Conqueror is strategic SF-PBeM-Game for up to 50 players.
Each player starts the game with a small fleet of starships and is the
owner of one of several hundred planets. The winner is determined by
an point system which gives points for specific actions each turn.
The first player who reaches a pre-set winning score will be the
winner of the game. Since there are almost no trade options in the
game, player interaction mostly concerns negotiations about borders
and coordination of attacks or defense. Players can:

     o invest in science
     o build industrial facilities and strongholds on planets
     o build ships (26 different classes)
     o attack enemy or neutral planets
     o engage in espionage or corruption
     o and much more...

At the start of the game, each player can see only 4-10 planets, whose
coordinates are given relative to his own starting-planet. Every time
a new planet is conquered, all planets up to a given distance from
this new one are revealed.

The rules and an Atari ST and PC Clone client can be ftped from
ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl, in the directory /pub/pbm/Galactic_Conqueror.
The clients are graphical point-and-click interfaces to the game. You
could play without a client, but this is not recommended. An X11
client is in the works, as is an eventual translation of the rules
into English.
