World Empire III
World Empire III is a Risk-like strategy game where the ultimate goal is
world conquest. Up to eight human/computer players are assigned a starting
country, either at random or by selection. There are some 139 real world
nations to choose from.
Each country is assigned an ideology. Nations with the same ideology as yours
will be easier to conquer and occupy, while nations with different ideologies
will put up greater resistance. Ideological factions include the Populists,
Militarists, Socialists, Realists, Pacifists, Optimists, Pessimists, and
Feminists.
There are two modes of play: Standard and Real World Simulation. The Standard
game plays out similarly to Risk. Real World Simulation mode adds a number of
details, including population, industrial/agricultural/gasoline production,
infantry/mechanized/tactical air support, and less randomness in battle
resolutions.
