Trade Empires Announced for PC
Eidos Interactive (NASDAQ: EIDSY), a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the PC and console gaming systems, today announced that it will publish Frog City Software's trading and transporting simulation, Trade Empires
Description
Gamers build vast transport and trade networks that change over thousands of years as new technologies are developed and more modern products are discovered. The rules of the game are simple; the variety comes in through the discovery of new products to trade and new ways to transport those products. Trade Empires begins at the dawn of human civilization and covers human history up to the 19th century. The game puts a single human player in a world evolving in real time. It is the first trading and transporting simulation to emphasize the effects of technological change over thousands of years on the relatively simple model of producing and delivering commodities to make more money than the other players. All games are episodes. Each episode spans an area during a time period, such as trade along the Silk Road between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty. With each new episode comes a unique list of available products and technologies ranging from the silk, bronze and jade idols of Ancient China to the steam engines, iron plows and rum of the Industrial Revolution.
