Greetings!  As promised I will be running another empire game - if there 
is sufficient interest to do so. TYRO II is much improved from the
first time around.  Chainsaw code is being used for this one and the
map is a xland generated 64x64 world.  The version output is included
in this letter.  The mazimum number of countries that will be admitted
is 30.  One major difference from TYRO I is that this game is not meant
for newbies.  Now if you're a newbie you are welcome to play but it will
be difficult.  Another difference is that for this game I made many
small islands rather than several huge continents.  Now this doesn't
mean that you will be on an island all by yourself...you might but then
again you might not.  :)

The start date is as yet undetermined since it depends on how fast
the spots fill up.  Oh...before I forget...there will be one update
a day at 20:00 (8:00PM) CST.  This should be agreeable to most people
in North America.  When the game does open up there will be a 12 - 24 hour
interval before the first update to ensure that everyone breaks
sanctuary and give those who might be on the waiting list a chance to get
in for those who said they'd play but don't show up for the first update.
So if you are intending to play make sure to "break" on the first day so
your country isn't given to someone else.

I believe that covers everything...now for the version info.


 
BSD Empire 1.1 patch level 5 (KSU distribution 1.04, Chainsaw version 2.20)

The following parameters have been set for this game:
World size is 64 by 64.
There can be up to 40 countries.  (But I will only accept 30)
By default, countries use their own coordinate system.

An Empire time unit is 1440 seconds long.
The next update is at Thu Jan 21 17:00:00.  ** Will be at 20:00 CST **
The current time is Thu Jan 21 16:57:37.
An update consists of 60 empire time units.
Each country is allowed to be logged in 1000 minutes a day.
It takes 25.00 civilians to produce a BTU in one time unit.

A non-aggi, 100 fertility sector can grow 0.12 food per etu.
1000 civilians will harvest 1.3 food per etu.
1000 civilians will give birth to 5.0 babies per etu.
1000 uncompensated workers will give birth to 2.5 babies.
In one time unit, 1000 people eat 1.0 units of food.
1000 babies eat 12.0 units of food becoming adults.

Banks pay $250.00 in interest per 1000 gold bars per etu.
1000 civilians generate $4.33, uncompensated workers $1.78 each time unit.
1000 active military cost $83.33, reserves cost $8.33.

Happiness p.e. requires 1 happy stroller per 5000 civ.
Education p.e. requires 1 class of graduates per 4000 civ.
Happiness is averaged over 48 time units.
Education is averaged over 192 time units.
The technology/research boost you get from the world is 10.00%.
Nation levels (tech etc.) decline 1% every 96 time units.
Tech Buildup is limited to logrithmic growth (base 2.45) after 1.00.

				Sectors	Ships	Planes
Maximum mobility		127	127	127
Max mob gain per update		60	120	60
Max eff gain per update		--	120	60

In order to build a nuke, you need 1/3 of the tech level in research
	Example: In order to build a 300 tech nuke, you need 100 research
