Deal on Conquest & Destiny in December From: koziol@void.ncsa.uiuc.edu (Quincey Koziol) Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1992 22:08:50 +0000 If anyone's looking for a great PBEM/PBM game to join, the Gamemaster is offering a holiday deal for the month of December, for a $5 setup fee, you receive $10 of game credit. This is an excellent game, I've been playing for a couple of months now. If you are interested in more information, e-mail me, I've got an electronic copy of the rules I can send out. Also, mention that I refered you, in order to get the holiday deal (and for me to get a couple of recruitment dollars). The ad below is getting a little out of date, some new things that aren't listed are: a galactic stock market with both Player and Non-Player controlled corporations, spies to send after your enemies and gather information, and the ability to build Ringworlds and Dyson spheres at high tech levels. Turns process three times a week, (MWF) if you are interested in a fast paced game, but you aren't required to keep up at that pace, the galaxy is huge (as mentioned below) and if you progress slowly there is little or no chance of being attacked. Quincey ================Conquest & Destiny Advert==================================== Did you enjoy Trade Wars ?.....Czar Wars ?.....do you like being the general of generals....do you like strategic games ?.... then you'll FLIP! over.. |----------------------------| | CONQUEST AND DESTINY | | -In the Sagittarian Arm- | |----------------------------| Hey all you adventurers out there, would you like to participate in the biggest open ended space adventure game ever?! This galaxy contains over 1,000,000 stars, over 4,000,000 planets (yes, that is six zeros on both of those numbers), and even moons. There are currently over 1600 different types of vessels with more to come. The game control format is very detailed and flexible giving you excellent control over your race's actions. There are several different types of races whose aspects you can assume at the beginning of your play. You can play as the cybernetic Marauders who have the ability to destroy planets, and whose military might is feared throughout the galaxy. You can play the cunning and elusive Travellers who have the secret means to move planets from star to star. You can play as the Transformers, whose secret planet altering processes are sought after throughout the galaxy. You can play as a Power Corporation whose Power Centers increase planetary efficiency and make everything less expensive to build. The Traders are the charismatic (and rich) race who make a healthy living trading goods along the starlanes. Pirates are races that have developed a feared reputation stealthily bypassing planetary defenses, stripping planetary surfaces, and kidnapping the populace. And finally, but by no means least are the Miners, whose development in the excavation arts earn them a hefty planetary income along with the ability to get glean credits from places that nobody else can. Form alliances, start and end wars, build your racial abilities, and military power until you are a shaker and a mover in the galaxy. There are almost no limits to what you can do in ****** Conquest and Destiny ****** !! Up to 9000 people can play simultaneously against each other. It is a open-ended game, meaning that there is no deadline to win by. You can compete with players from the US and overseas. We already have players from 10 different states, and all are having loads of fun! The quick turnaround of the turns helps to ensure fast-paced action. The Sagittarian Arm right now is processing every other day, and eventually will move up to every day. For those of you that don't want everything so speedy, there are other galaxies that will be processed once a week, and once a month. For those of you that are reading this on a BBS, it will be considerably less expensive to play electronically, rather than through the mail. But you don't even need a computer to play this galaxy spanning adventure!
