Description:

Empire Forge is a fantasy-based strategy game that should take less than
half an hour per week to play for most people. It is similar to games like
Axis & Allis and Global Diplomacy. Each turn players assemble their orders
and enter them on the web site. There is a downloadable GUI to help
players view the game data. A turn is usually once per week, but other
turn frequencies can be arranged. Orders consist of troop movements,
diplomacy, unit constructions, skills uses, and other activities. The game
server evaluates all players' orders and calculates the results. It then
posts updated game information to the website, which the game client can
download.
