DescriptionOlympia features a vast map, simultaneous turn execution, magic, combat, skills, rare artifacts, exploration, trade, strange monsters, etc. Rather than ``phases'', Olympia has realistic time. Each turn has 30 days. Orders are rated for how many days they take to complete. Orders which don't finish by the end of the turn simply continue into the next. Most players control 10-15 characters, and receive a 15-25 page report. The size of the report varies depending on whether the player concentrates development in a few characters, or pursues an empire building strategy. Olympia has been running commercially since June, 1994. Opinions: A superb piece of game design, the current game is a well explored world, though with players dropping out there are still lands to be conquered. Roll on Olympia 2... (?) Bug free and regular as clockwork. -- Simon Beresford <sb@sophron.demon.co.uk> (1996Sep23)
