Description:

For centuries humans ruled the world as the great Gendanate Empire.
Gradually the royal families within the empire grew and became powerful.
As they grew they became more and more factional, until each desired to
seize the crown of the emperor for themselves. Now the empire has
fractured into the seven great houses. Regions and cities have chosen
sides and joined certain houses. Many areas fell into anarchy and became
vulnerable to attacks. The collapse of the empire has also allowed the few
barbarians and non-human races who had previously been subdued to attempt
to seize power.

You play one of the great empires of the time: Gendante Empire, House
Sirlak, House Anila, House Goen, House Wysloff, House Baigas, House
Kinressa or one of the tribal powers: the Sasar Nomads, the Olgil Raiders,
the Wood Elves, the Hill Trolls or the Merfolk. To win you must use a mix
of force, diplomacy and economics with a little help from the gods.

This is a rewrite of Jeff Sullin's game Empire Forge.
