This is quite a good game. It's like Empire but much more fun. Many many many hours put into this when it came out.
I've been able to get it mostly working on newer computers but, looking back, I see I haven't played it since 2008. So I must not have been able to get it going on the newest ones.
Checking the manual I see there is support for multi-player beyond hot-seating. Automatic modem stuff. Not sure if that would work today. Perhaps email the save game file.
There's a good deal of rock/paper/scissors in the combat. And the computer knows unit weaknesses. There was one game where I relied on a slower but unstoppable swarm of artillery. Not long after coming into contact with the computer, wave after wave of bombers turned my game into a shambles. I was impressed!
