The basic object of the game is simple, conquer the world at the detriment of your peers. To accomplish this task, you will make use of your sciences and military units to capture enemy cities and to build up new and better units. Do remember that there are other would-be conquers in the world, waiting in the shadows, building up their forces and majyk to conquer you as well. Will you be strong enough to keep these usurpers at bay? Only time will tell. It is to you to prove yourself as the leader of the Majyk Empires. * RIP ICON FILES * For RIP players, a set of icon files should be provided for download. These icons are the unit and flag displays on the map field. The map will be unreadable without them. This file is usually called MEICON.ZIP. If you cannot find the file, please ask your sysop for help. If DSZ is supported, RIP users are given the option of automatically downloading the MEICON file when they first enter the game. * GOVERNMENT TYPE * When you first begin your game, you will be asked what type of government you would like your empire to have. Each government type will give you differing levels of the three main sciences (explained later). * TURNS * The game is played in a series of turns. Each player may have up to three of these turns per day. The turn consists of moving each army unit, and then by using majyk or changing city production. These selections are offered in the displayed menus, so there is no question as to which orders are avaiable. The move-phase consists of moving your units across the playing field, conquering territory, and building cities. All of these actions, and their effects, are explained below. The post-move phase gives players the options of casting spells and changing production. If DSZ is supported, RIP users can also download the current world map and events file from here. * VICTORY * Victory comes when only one empire is left on the map. The empire to accomplish this most difficult feat is the victor of the game. Once victory has been accomplished, the game will announce the victor to the participants. The game can then be reset by the sysop by deleting the GAMEDAT.MAP data file. * TECHNICAL SUPPORT * If you have any questions about Majyk Empires or any other CIOE products, you can reach us by mail, voice, or by our network system.
