I actually beat him.. but the bastard got smart, he called my number to delay me from logging on and it bought him enough time to get in before me (by about 5 seconds I might add).

Did the phrase; "(parents) X was supposed to call today, have you been holding up the phoneline?" get familiar?
My humble peon was found beaten to death too many times an The Inn... Not sure if I ever finished the game. Was there a finish?

More like a board game played on PC similar to Master of Orion/Magic, Civilization, Stars! and Trade Wars 2000. There is an arsenal of settings, formulae, rules, strategies, tricks, outside factors and variables ( quick to learn, a lifetime to master ) that make for an interesting playground to battle for victory between 10 other human opponents.
