Let's Play: Anacreon!!!
« on: June 04, 2009, 12:54:17 pm »

Huh. Since most of my 'Let's play' games seem to fall flat I decided to give it one more try, then call it quits.

http://neurohack.com/anacreon/

Here we go: "The mechanics of the game are simple. Each player assumes the role of a totalitarian ruler of a small galactic empire. Every player in turn examines status reports and issues orders each year, a simple process that includes determining which worlds can become colonies and deploying fleets to conquer them. Once all players have taken their turn, the computer updates all the worlds in the galaxy and the next year begins. There are no formal victory conditaions in the game, so a game doesn't ever have to end."

Since playing 4 games at once is a little beyond my scope, I'll just be playing one empire, decided by popular vote a totalitarian vote, aka: me.

Bah, who needs a manual! Even though I have never played this game before I'm confident that we-oh shit fighters. Time to read a little bit through it then!

Hm.

Alright, we will be playing as one empire out of four, scrounging for independent planets left over by the remnants of an imperial empire. Sounds like fun.

Here's the empire we will be playing. Make up a name for it, we don't want to be egotistical.

Huh. Looks like those little gender silhouettes were taken from the Pioneer plaque. Nice touch.
