Afrika
Afrika is a German shareware strategy game for up to three players set in
the colonial period in Africa.
Playing France, Germany or England, your goal is to defeat the other two
nations. First you have to build up your economy to earn money. You can build
tobacco or cocoa plantations, goldmines and diamond mines. It is important to
choose the right environment for the different mines and plantations. If you
build a goldmine in a desert, then you won’t make any profit and lose money
because there is no or only little gold deposit and your workers want to be
paid, too.
From time to time you suffer from thieves who steal your earnings or from
locusts that destroy your harvest. With a one-time purchase of guards or
insect repellent you can prevent these incidents. Having hired soldiers you
can destroy adversarial buildings to weaken his economy or destroy his
headquarters to expel him permanently from Africa and from the game. You win
when you destroy both opponents.
In the shareware version you can only play for an hour. By registering you
don’t have to bear shareware messages, can play as long as you want, and get
three more maps.
