Satan's Worlds is a role playing strategy game for PC MSDOS.
Here is a brief description.

+ a maximum number of 65535 troops;
+ a maximum number of 65535 cities;
+ from 1 to 65535 different maps available in a single game, each map could
reach
   32768X65536 locations;
+ each map contains different types of terrain that will affect movement,
fights, and
   so on;
+ explore dungeons, castles, ruins, abandoned cities;
+ ride the seas and board ships of other players (yes, you will see the
inside of your
   and enemy ship and move soldiers across to fight);
+ create huge armies and cross forest-mountain-desert-plain to destroy your
enemies;
+ the game features 7 different races to choose from, 15 types of troop per
race, 110
   type of monsters, a big number of spells to cast and objects to use
(magical items,
   special weapon);
In the game the player will meet heroes directed by the host, fight against
thousand enemies (and the other players!!!), build cities, siege cities of
other players and so on.

How to play:
The players will start the game with some settlers and troops. Each player
will draw for each troop and settler a path to follow. Afterwards, the moves
made will be sent to the host that will process the data and return it to
each player via e-mail.
As the troops travel the map, it will be uncovered more and more. Each troop
can perform various type of action: move to a location, follow another troop,
attack it, patrol a specified path, cast spells (only for mage and cleric).
Each race has two more particular troops different from the other races with
special characteristics (for example humans have a special machine that
throws big arrows).
Each settler can found a town and each town could train armies depending by
the buildings and goods present in it. Messages can be sent between players
and the host. Each player can also interact with characters directed by the
host to gain information about treasure, special objects and spells hidden in
the map. The host will also guide its own troup to attack the players.
