I was interested in knowing the relationships between them. It seems Empire served as inspiration for Conquer (Ed.Barlow) and this one inspired Dominion (aka Stony Brook), also Empire inspired many many others, like was stated in the montly posting in rec.games.empire and rec.news http://groups.google.es/group/news.answers/browse_thread/thread/f101cb2f5092 c2a1/1fee11800033b76a?lnk=st&q=xconq+barlow&rnum=2#1fee11800033b76a Today I checked: http://sourceware.org/xconq/family-tree.html << 1986 Initial work on a curses-based Empire clone, manual entry of large world map earth1.map (now earth-1deg.g) >> I wonder if xconq was inspired by conquer in his ideas, or name, or just directly by Empire itself. Cheers, Juan
