Empire Deluxe : The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games)

Summary: This book tells you everything you've been wondering
Review: Having played Strategic Conquest on the MAC and the original Empire game, then later buying Empire Deluxe, I was thrilled to get a copy of this book through Amazon.com's used item web site.

This book takes you through the minds of the developers, you learn a bunch of tips and tricks. You learn to understand how the computer works and how to choose a map that will help the computer to be able to challenge you more.

I really enjoyed reading this book after having played Empire type games since 1984.

Summary: Still A great resource after all these years
Review: This book is a definite must have for the true Empire Deluxe Fan. It does a fantastic job explaining how the different models work and has some wonderful tables on optimizing production.

It also gives various strategies and insights by the designers.

The "modem play" sections may be dated, but with Killer Bee Software's new release of Empire Deluxe, it still will prove quite helpful.

If this book is still out there, you want to buy it.
