About EFS:

EFS is a 4X strategy game, with two major phases, land and space.  The ultimate goal is to become emperor (or eliminate all of your enemy's nobles, which is by far the harder task).  There are five playable houses in all, and the game includes politics/diplomacy, research, city building, resource micromanagement, space travel, land/sea battle, and to a lesser extent, assassination.  The game includes an in game tutorial on most of the mechanics that is useful for new players.

House Hazat: Margrave (Lady Zdanya)

EDIT: Wait, sorry, don't have the game. Thought it was free.

[head]

seems like its free so il join.

[Kebooo]

It's free, the link to the full game (without the music) is in the first post.  Both the publisher (Segasoft) and developer (Holistic Design) are essentially dead companies now, and the game is abandonware.

Head, I'd suggest trying out some single player (with tutorials on) and let us know when you feel ready to play, and message me your e-mail.  Since Hazat is the least developed house, and you're a new player, I suggest every other player donate resources to you that we can explain through role playing (hazat dealing with symbiot invasion or some such thing).  That'll help catch you up some economically.

[Il Palazzo]

-The Hawkwood take control over a 0 food farm

Hehe, good job Kebooo! Keep track of all the important events in the game

I just wanted to warn any prospective player who never had a chance to try EFS before: this game can get very time-consuming as the empires grow. Be prepared to spend around half an hour+ doing each turn, maybe not now, but in 20 turns most likely.
Also, while the game itself is very micromanagement-intensive, the most important part is what happens outside confines of the program, i.e. diplomacy. This is really the meat of the game, so I hope you're into it.

How do i actually get the game running using the file provided by Kebooo? It's quite confusing-What rar files do i need to unzip?

[head]

Yes sir.

and the guy above double click exe and extract it and then use extract the patch in the folder then press the exe in the folder even worked on win7.


played the game for a 1hour seems to be alot of fun

[Servant Corps]

Wait, this isn't the long-lasting FFA match between maniac, Il Palzzo, Aqizzar and [random person off the planet]?

[x2yzh9]

I'll join as house Hazat.

[Kebooo]

Thanks for the offer, but head has filled the spot.  If there's another opening, we'll let you know.

And no, this is a different EFS game from the one with maniac.  That topic is how I found this site.

[Il Palazzo]

Wait, this isn't the long-lasting FFA match between maniac, Il Palzzo, Aqizzar and [random person off the planet]?

Unfortunately, that game came to an end, without reaching any definite conclusion. We are hoping here to make this one fare better(although the previous game set crazy high standards for skulduggery and political backstabbing, I must say).

[mainiac]

I'm still so emotionally drained from that game that I feel nervous whenever I see new posts in any of your topics.

[E. Albright]

Oh, if only I had the free time to try to get a game of this going.  I do love me some underhanded, conniving EFS.

[Margrave]

If you chaps ever need a body to replace a missing player, I am willing to risk my fragile and venereal disease ridden frame for the game.

That said keep up the good work and I'm going to see if the Vau are interested in pictures of my villa...

[Kebooo]

head, did you receive the turn I sent you?  Please let me know.
