Beta 2 (version 2 of the game) will start in early January, as I have too much work in termtime to put enough attention into a BETA test. See the BETA 1 report for the post BETA analysis.

The fun game (working title!) is a game I have wanted to make for a long time. I have been a big fan of text-based strategy games for a long time and have wanted to create my own for years. I finally managed it with some moderate success this year (2008), made entirely with PHP, CSS and Javascript.

The idea of the game is to create an empire - you start off with a village of 2000 and your task as emporer is to make your kingdom the most mighty in all the lands. You are responsible for feeding, powering, housing and schooling your followers - you are also responsible for setting taxes and paying the fire brigade!
