India. Each Area has a base Victory Point value for each
Epoch. The Area Value Tableis shown in Appendix C and is
alio available from the View menu in the game. A player
receivesVictory Points for eachArea that is occupied as follows:
Aplayer occupyingat leastone Land in anArea
Presence:
receivesthat Area's baseVictory Point value.
Domination:A player occupying at least three Lands in
an Area and more Lands in that Area than any other
player scoresdouble the Area's baseVictory Point value'
Control: A player occupying every Land in an Area
scorestriple the Area's baseVictory Point value.
VPs are accumulated from Epoch to Epoch by any unit
belonging to that player, including units of Empires that
were played in prior Epochs.However, eachArea is scored
only once per piayer per Epoch. A player cannot scorefor a
Presence twice in the same Area in the same turn.
Additionally, 1 VP is scoredfor eachSea(not Ocean)that is
occupied by a player' s Fleet.
Lastly, each player may play up to two Events in each
turn. The Events in HISTORY OF THE WORLD range from
Minor Empires to disastersand disease.TheseEvents generally have restrictions as to when they can be played.
]udicious use of a player's Events can mean the difference
between victory or defeat.

right of the player name.Any number of computer players or human players can be specified as long as the total
number of players is in the range from two to seven.
Player color can be changed by clicking on the already

Skill: This defines the quality of the computer player:
Fair, Normal or Good. The default setting is Normal.
A setting of Good is recommended only for those
players with a fast computer.
Aggression:This defines the propensity of the computer player toward making aggressive moves.
Given two moves of equal value, a Passivecomputer

an opponent or lead to combat, whereas an
Aggressive computer player will do the opposite.
With Normal, the default setting, the computer player will show no consistent trend toward either of
thesetwo extremes.
Rlsk This defines the computer player's inclination
toward taking risks. A Daring computer player will
attack at low odds if the payoff is high. A Cautious

With Normal, the default setting, the computer player will show no consistenttrend.
More information concerning the computer artificial
intelligence can be found in Section18.

y' Empire Screens: Checking this option causes screen
images to be displayed between each player's turn.

When this is the case,the number of required builds is displayed in the upper right corner of the icon.

Buitding these units requires the expenditure of a given
-number
of Strength Points. The number to the left of the
square unit icon is the number of Strength Points that the
Empire possessesat any given time. This number decreases
every time a unit is built. The number of build points can
also increasedue to the play of certain events. Building of
units is discussedin Section 11.
There are three buttons at the bottom of the Empire
Window. Pressingthe Next or lrev (previous) buttons lets
the player page through the Empires that are available in
the current Epoch. Pressingthe {ctive button displays the
active Empire for the current player.
At the beginning of each Epoch all players obtain an
Empire. This occurs automatically if the Auto-Select
Empires option has been turned on in the New Game Setup
Window. Otherwise, the players' drawing order will be
determined (seeSection8), and players will randomly draw
Empires,privately inspect the Empire they have drawn, and
then decide to either keep the Empire or pass it to another
player who has not yet received an Empire for that Epoch.
This procedure takes place in the Empire SelectionWindow.

When each Empire is drawn, a messageis displayed in
the lower right corner of the window. This messagelists the
current player's name, the Empire that has just been drawn,
and the available options for the current player. A player
will have one of three options:
. The Empire must be kept.
. The Empire must be passedto another player.
. The Empire can be kept or passed.
Information about each of the Empires available in the
current Epoch is shown in the lower left of the window to
aid the player in making a decision.

The upper half of the window lists the player names/
total scoreand accumulatedStrengthPoints (more on this in
later sections),from whom the player received the Empire,
and to whom the player passedthe Empire that was drawn.
If a player keeps the Empire that is drawn, the Iast two
columns will contain that player's own name.

Capitals

When a player starts an Empire that has a Capital city, a
Capital marker is placed in the Start Land. This is the only
way a Capital marker can be placed on the map. A Land
may contain a maximum of one Capital or City.

ffiCities
A City marker can be placed on the map as a result of an
Event, or a Capital marker can be reduced to a City marker
during the courseof play. A Land may contain a maximum
of one Capital or City.
Monuments

A Monument marker is placed at the end of an Empire's
expansion phase for each pair of Resource symbols controlled by its Armies. The color of the Monument marker
reflects the color of the owning Army also present in the
Land. If there is no Army in the Land, the Monument is not
owned by any player and will be colored light gray (neutral). If the Preservationof Cultures option is in effect (see
Section 15), the Monument remains the color of the player
who built it for the duration of the game.

E

PirateFleet

When the "Pirates" Event is played, a Pirate Fleet may
be placed on the map. The color of the Pirate Fleet indicates
the player who placesthe Fleet.

Now that you are familiar with the basic game concepts,
a summary of the entire sequenceof play will be presented.
This sequenceof play covers some topics already discussed
but which are included here for completeness.
'l Draw EventsPhase- After a new gameis started,Events
I are randomly chosenand distributed to eachplayer.This
phaseis hidden from the player. Events can be examined by
eachplayer during that player's turn in the Event Window.
See Section 9 for more information about Events and the
Event Window.
!Auto-Select Empires If the Auto-SelectEmpiresoption
.Lhas been placed in effect by checking that option box in
the New Game Setup Window, Empires are randomly
assigned to each player, and the sequenceof play skips to
step 5.
Q Determine Empire Drawing Order Phase- If the AutoJselect Empiresoption has not beenturned on, the player
drawing order for selecting Empires is determined. At the
beginning of the First Epoch, the Empire drawing order is
randomly determined by the computer. Starting with the
Second Epoch, players will draw in order of their current
number of accumulated Strength Points, with ihe lowest
Strength drawing first. If several players have equal
Strength,they will draw in order of their Victory Points total
with the tied player having the most Victory Points drawing
first. If tied in both Strength and Victory Points, the player
who played first in the preceding epoch goes first. This
phase is automatic and hidden from the player.
f Empire Draw/Pass/KeepPhase In the order deterTmined in step 3, players will randomly draw an Empire,
privately inspect it, and then decide to either keep the

Empire or passit to another player who has not yet received
an Empire for that Epoch. This procedure takes place in the
Empire Selection Window, described in Section 3. Players
are not allowed to inspect an Empire which has been passed
to them, and must wait until their turn before they see
which Empire they are playing with in the current Epoch.
Detailsof the Empire Draw/Pass/Keep Phaseare discussed
in Section4.
ffiDetermine Order of Play Phase The seven Empires
u*-favailable for play during a given Epoch have a specific
order of play. This order approximates that Empire's
chronological order of appearancein history. Players will
take their turns in the order dictated by their current
Empire. SeeAppendix A for a listing of the Empires and
their order of play. This phase is automatic and is hidden
from the player.
5*Play Before Tur.n Events Phase Each player may play
L-Supto two Events in each Epoch. Events are divided into
two iategories: "Play BeforeTurn" and "Play During Turn."
Before the Empire is started by the active player by placing
an Army and a Capital (for those Empires that have
Capitals) in the Start Land, Events labeled with the instruction "Play BeforeTurn" may be played. SeeSection9 f.ora
descriptionof Events.
npStart Empire Phase - The active player "starts" the
d Empire by left-clicking on the icon at the top of the
Empire Window.
If a Capital icon is displayed at the top of the Empire
Window, then the Empire has a Capital city, and both
an Army and a Capital will be placed in the Empire's Start
Land.

in the Empire's Start Land. Any Armies already present in
the Start iand must retreat to an adjacent, friendly Land'
Once the Empire is started, no more "Play Before Turn"
Events can be played by the current player until the next
Epoch.
ffExpansion Phase- EachEmpire has a certainnumber of
#strength Points, shown in the Empire Window just to the
left of tie Army icon. The current player may use these
Strength Points to build any units available to that Empire'
Subjectto certain restrictions,Armies may be placed one at
a time in Lands currently occupied by the Empire, adjacent
to Lands occupied by the Empire, or in Lands next to a Sea
or Oceanin which the Empire has Navigation and which is
occupied by a Fleet of that player. Likewise, Fleets may be
placed in Oceansor Seascurrently occupied by the Empire,
or adjacent to a Sea or Ocean occupied by the Empire, in
which the Empire has Navigation'
If the adjacentLand already contains an Army or Minor
Army of another Empire, or if the adjacentSeaalready contains a Fleet of another Empire, the current Empire must
engagein combat with the other Empire until only his unit
ot th" defending unit remains. After any combat, the current player continues to place units until all of the Empire's
Strength Points have been used. The active player may also
place Forts or Fortresses(if the Fortressesoption is in effect)

A uselects the Next Turn button or menu item. At this
point the player's VP total is frozen for the remainder of the

turn-the player cannot lose points through the actions of
any subsequentplayers in the sameEpoch.
Steps 4 through 10 are repeated until all players have
taken their turn in the current Epoch. Play then proceedsto

rfthere are 63 total Events that can be played during a
I gu*u of HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Of these, 45 are
unique and 18 are duplicates.The 63 Events are categorized
into nine groups, eachgroup containing Events that are similar,in nature. Appendix B lists the Events and the groups to
which they belong. During the Draw Events Phase each
player is randornly assignedone Event from each group'

Using the Event Window the current player can examine
the Events available for play during the remainder of the
game. The Event Window contains the following:
. The name of the Event.
. The Epochsduring which the Event can be played.
. When the Event can be played ("PIay Before Turn" or
"Play During Turn").
o A descriptionof the Event.

There are three buttons at the bottom of the window.
Pressing the Next or Prev buttons lets the player page
through the Events.Pressingthe Play button puts the Event
into play. The Play button will be grayed out and unselectable if the Event cannotbe plaved. This can occur for one of
five reasons:
e The Event may not be played in the current Epoch.
r The Event may not be played in the current phase of
the player's turn (for example, the player may have
started his Empire already and the Event is a "Play
BeforeTurn" Event).
. Conditions may be such that the Event could not be
successfully completed (for example, the "Disaster:
Tidal Wave" Event cannot be played if there are no
Monuments in a Land next to a Seaor Ocean).
o The Event modifies another Event already played in
the sameturn (for example,Leader and Elite Troops).

When Minor Empires are played, they build Units,
expand, etc., exactly like normal Empires. However, a
Minor Empire is not part of the larger, active Empire for
purposes of Monument builds or Expansion. To differentiate the Minor Empire Army units from those of the normal
Empire, a white bar appearsat the top of the Army icon. All
activities of a Minor Empire (except scoring) are ended
before the player's main Empire begins placementor another Event is played. The Minor Empire does contribute to the
plaver's scoreat the end of the turn.

r TWo Events have already been played in the current
player's turn.

sr*gwwY$*ws*ruY#
SomeEvents grant the player additional Strength Points
for his Empire. These additional Strength Points are not
added to the player's accumulatedStrength for purposes of
determining drawing order for Empire selection.
REeA*$*#ffi #gS*LffiS
If an Event grants an Empire a certain type of unit, that
unit must be built and cannot be traded for another type
during the Expansion Phase.For example, an Empire playing the Shipbuilding Event must place at least two fleets in
addition to the one required by its Navigation capabilities.
Required builds are shown in the upper right corner of the
unit icons in the Empire Window (seeSection4).

Should the "Black Death," "Pestilence," "Famine" or
"Plague" Events strip a Land of all occupying armies, any
Capital, City or Monument therein remains as a neutral.
They can be claimed without combat by the next player to
place an army in that Land. When Barbarians destroy all
Armies in a Land, they also destroy any City or reduce any
Capital to a City according to the normal rules of Conquest
(seeSection12).

Although the "Rebellion," "Civil War" and

If a new Empire or Kingdom appears in a Start Land
already occupied by another Army or Armies, the prior
occupant must retreat to any adjacent Land containing the
same type and color of Army. If unable to do so, it is eliminated. If there is only one possibleLand to which the Army
can retreat, this is also done automatically. If there is more
than one possible Land to which the Army can retreat, and
the Auto-Retreat option is not in effect, the owner of the
prior Army will be prompted to choosea retreat Land. If the
Auto-Retreat option is in effect, the computer will choose
what it considersto be the best Land and will automatically retreat the Army to that Land. The Auto-Retreat option is
always in effect for an e-mail game.

I fter the player has finished playing
"Plav BeforeTurn" Events,the
flanv
Empire is started by left-clicking on the icon at the top of the
Empire Window If this is a Capital icon, then the Empire
has a Capital, and both an Army and a Capital will be
placed in the Empire's Start Land. If this is a Nomadic icon,
then the Empire does not have a Capital city, and only an
Army will be placed in the Empire's Start Land. In both
cases,the number of Strength Points will be decrementedby
one to account for the placement of the Army.

Retreat is the only instance in which a unit can move
from one Land to another.
Armies may not retreat over Seas or Oceans except
across a Strait (identified by a crossing arrow). Control of
the intervening Seamakes no difference.

t s" {#s#esw&#ffiffi##&#s- Eu.n Empire has a certain number of Strength Points that
l-.rcan be used to build Units during the Expansion Phase.
Building an Army, Fleet or Fort uses one Strength Point. I{

Strength Points.
Armies can be placed in any Land adjacent to a Land
occupied by the current Empire. Fleetscan be placed in any
Seaor Ocean adjacentto a.Land, Seaor Oceanoccupied by
that Empire if that Empire has Navigation of the Sea or
Ocean. Once a Sea or Ocean is occupied by a fleet of that
player, Armies can be placed in any Land adjacent to that
Sea or Ocean if the current Empire has navigation in that
Sea or Ocean. A Fleet can support the Armies of another
Empire of the same player only if the current Empire has
Navigation of that Seaor Ocean.

1. Left-click on the Unit icon in the Empire Window. This
allows you to drag that Unit to the map where a click
on a Land, Seaor Oceanwill place the Unit there. If a
Land, Seaor Oceanis selectedwhich results in an illegal move, an error messagewindow will be displayed.
After vanishing the error messagewindow, the player
may select another Land, Sea or Ocean.At any time
the operation can be aborted by right-clicking.

Armies can never be placed in the Barren Lands. Fleets
may not enter the Caspian Sea.No more than three Armies
can occupy any Land and no more than two Fleetscan occupy any Sea.An Oceanmay contain up to 14 Fleets,but each
player is limited to two Fleetsin an Ocean.
Any Empire with Navigation capabilitiesMUST build at
least one Fleet (even if the only Sea it may navigate is
already occupied by a friendly Fleet). If unable to reach a
navigable Seaor Ocean during its turn, the Empire forfeits
one build.
Units are placed on the map one at a time. This can be
done one of three ways:

2. Right-click on a Land, Seaor Ocean with the mouse.

When combat occurs, the Combat Summary Window

Nominally, the attacker rolls two dice and the defender
rolls one die to resolve combat. (All dice rolls are randomly
determined by the computer.)Any modifiers to the nurnber
of dice and the die rolls can be displayed by clicking the
Modifiers button (they will be discussedshortly). The player who rolls highest on a single die wins and the loser
removeshis Army or Fleet.If tied, both sidesreroll until one
wins. Combat continues until all defending armies are
destroyed, or the attacker abandons the attack (either
becausethe Empire has run out of Armies or Fleets with
which to attack, or becausethe player does not wish to commit another Army or Fleet to the attack). If the attacking
player conquersa Land, up to two more Armies and a Fort
(or Fortress) may be placed there. If the attacking player
conquersa Sea,one additional Fleet may be placed there.

The 92 Lands are grouped into 13 color-coded Areas.
EachArea is worth a varying number of VPs during different Epochsin the game as shown on the Area Value Tablein
Appendix C. The Area Value Table is also available from
within the game by selecting Area Values from the View

As an example, China (the dark green Area on the map)
has a BaseValue of 1 VP in Epoch I,2 VPs in Epoch II, and
3 VPs thereafter.Southern Europe has a BaseValue of 0 VPs
in EpochI,2YPs in EpochII, etc.A player with one or more
Armies in an Area at the end of his turn scorespoints in that
Area as follows:

- Occupying at least one Land in an Area gains
Presence

Victory Point value.
the
Domination- Occupying at least three Lands in an Area
and more Lands than any other player has in that Area
gains double the Area BaseVictory Point value.
Control - Occupying every Land in an Area gains triple
the Area BaseVictory Point value.

##ffiffixffitrs ffi#*s*ffi#s
Although a player scoresVPs for all of his hoidingsincluding past Empires-each Area is scored only once per
player in each Epoch. For example, a player cannot score
multiple Presencepoints (or both Presenceand Domination

number of his Empires occupying that Area. A player may
combine Lands of different Empires of his faction to claim
Domination or Control of an Area.

A Fortressmay be built at a cost of two Strength Points.
A Fortressadds one to the defender's die rolls and wins all

ties when a Fortress is attacked by "Fanaticism." The
"Empire Fortifies," "Engineering" and "Empires Fottify"
Events can be used to upgrade an already existing Fort to a
Fortressat a cost of one Fort for each upgrade. This is the
only situation in which a Fort can be upgraded to a Fortress.

When playing this option, Monuments are built with the

Monuments that are recaptured by their own color are still

LIISTORY OF THE WORLD can be played on separate
I Icomputers using the built-in Play By E-Mail (PBEM)
feature. The only requirement other than owning a copy of
the game itself is some method of transferring a single
saved game file from one player to another.
An e-mail game is set up from within the New Game
window (seeSection3). One of the players must be responsible for setting up the e-mail game. This includes specifying the number of players, their names,whether the player
is human or computer, player e-mail addresses,and game
options. An e-mail game must have at least two human
players.
HISTORY OF THE WORLD can also be played by more
than one human player at the same computer. If no e-mail
addressesare specified for the human players, the game
assumesthat all humans are playing from the same computer. If e-mail addressesare specified for all of the human
players, the game assumesthat at least some of the human
players are playing at different locations.
To start an e-mail game, one of the human players supplies all neededinformation in the New Game window. For
each human player, selecting Configure will display the EMail Address Window. Each human plaYer must have an e-

n
lf

mail address. The human player who starts the game
should place a y' next to Startup Computer Address.

We recommend that the Password Protection option be
used for an e-mail game or a "hot-seat" game between
human players. When this option is in effect, each human
player will be prompted to enter a password when he
receivesthe game to play his first turn. A player will not be
able to begin his turn without entering his password,so care
should be taken to remember it! The inconvenienceof having to remember a password is justified in the knowledge
that no other player can examine the game state out of turn.

When a player has completed his turn, the Advisor window appearswith a messagedirecting the current player to
send the e-mail game file to another player. SelectingQK in
the messagebox efts the game. At this point, the player
should send the e-mail game file to the addressspecified in
the message box. Remember that in HISTORY OF THE

WORLD the order in which players play their turns is not
fixed; it is even possiblefor a given player to play two turns
one after another.
The e-mail game file is named "email.sav" and is found
in the \save subdirectory. The \save subdirectory is found
one level down from the directory where HISTOIA OF THE
WORLD is installed (in other words, one level down from
the path that was specified during the install procedure).
When receiving an e-mail game file from another player, it
must be copied into this samesubdirectory.Thus, the e-mail
game file from the previous turn will be lost unless the user
renamesit before the copy is made.
The file can be sent by attaching it to an e-mail message
(on ISPsthat support attachments),or by encoding it into a
messageby a special encoding program (nof included with
the game). If you have any trouble sending or receiving email games,pleasecontact your Internet ServiceProvider.
'
After an e-mail game file is received and copied into the
\save subdirectory,the game can be started.After the opening sequenceyou are presented with a full screenview of
the Thctical Map Window. The e-mail game is loaded by
selecting Load Game from the Game menu. This will display the Load Game Window. Select "email.sav" followed
by OK, and the e-mail game will be loaded.
One of the most useful features that can be used in a email or hot-seat game is player-to-player messaging.
Playerscan use this feature to send private communications
to other human players. Both the Send Me$sageWindow
and the ReceiveMessageWindow are describedin detail in
Section7.

One of the most important parts of HISTORY OF THE
WOKLD is the Empire Selectionround. The order of play
during this round is based on some combination of the
accumulated Strength Points, Victory Points and order of
play in the previous Epoch (see Section 8 for a complete
decription). In general,players with the least accumulated
Strength Points draw earlier in the round. These players
have more control over the result of the Empire Selection
round. This is the primary advantage of minimizing your
Strength Point Total.
When you receiveyour Empire, you should consider its
value compared with the other Empires in this Epoch. AIso
look at what the other players this round have decided. If a
player keeps the Empire given to him, it must have been a
good one. If he passedit to another player, it was probably
a poorer choice. Once you have received an Empire from
another player, you don't have the option to keep another
Empire. At that point, if you think the Empire is a good
card, don't pass it to a leading player! Try to passbad cards
to the leaderinstead.
Don't pass an Empire that appears early in the Epoch to
a player who has lots of VPs on the board now-especially
if there is a big difference between that player and the current player.
Remember that in the last Epoch, minimizing your
Strength Points is not very important-get the best Empire
you can get.

ffiwwsx$s
Play Events only if they are to your advantage.In general, Events should be held until later Epochs.Eachplayer has
nine Events and can play a maximum of two in eachEpoch.
You should try to play all of your Events if possible.
Each player will have one of each of the following
Events:
ME&$W#ffiWp$S$ffiS
Always play your Minor Empire in the appropriate turn.
Be sure not to forget this important Event!
ffi€3&Sffi&Y
M#ffi*p*ffiffiffi
Use these Events for larger Empires-ones with at least
12 builds. Play the Event before any combat-right after
starting the major Empire is best. Remember, Combat
Modifiers do not affect Minor Empires.
The best Event of this type is "Weaponry," followed by
"Leader," then "Fanaticism." If you have more than one,
save the best one for a stronger Empire.

"Civil War" should be used to gain territory, especially
points away from your current Empire's reach-that way,
you're not having to leap all over yourself. Target gains in
valuable areas,such as PreservedMonuments,-MonumentCapital pairs, etc. Especially target difficult terrain areas.
"Crusade" should be played when an enemy controls
Palestineand surrounding lands and your control of it will
help give you presenceor dominance in the Middle East.

"]ewish Revolt" should be played when an enemy controls Palestine and your control of it will help give you Presence or dominance in the Middle East.

as possible unless you think the Land in question might be
overrun by another player. The Migrants Events should be
played as early as they provide points- For "North
American Migrants," play them in Epoch V or sooner; for
"Sub-SaharanMigrants," Pluy them in Epoch VI or sooner.
Since the Migrants cannot build Monuments, do not place
them in Resourcelands. Place them in Lands that are hard
to attack.
ffi$ffi&SYffiffiffi
Disasters should be used to weaken your opponents
early in the game-especially in areasyou can't get to, and
especiallyif your opponent is ahead of you. Rememberthat
most of the Disasters affect Capitals, Cities, Forts and
Fortressesas well as Monuments.
ffiffiw$Y&tu&ffi&K$4$ffi
The "Treachery" event should be used whenever an
upcoming, must-win attack is being made into Difficult
Terrain or against a Fortified opponent.
Let "Rebellion" occur whenever you need to reduce an
opponent's holdings-especially thoseyou can't get to with
your current Empire.
"Empires Revive" and "Empires Fortify" should be used
early in the game-fortifying your holdings at the end of
the game is of no value.
sgffiffi&ffiffi#& ffi&ffiffi&ffi&&ruffi
"Barbarians" should be used whenever a Barren Land is

mostly surrounded by enemies.It is good either for weakening an Area that is easy to get around (e.8.,India) which
you are about to go into, or for clearing up an area where
your opponents have a stronghold that is out of reach.
"Black Death" can be the most important Event in the
game if the dice roll the right way. Use it to attack two adjacent Areas that are controlled by your opponents.It is especially good if those Areas can be attacked by your current
Empire. "Plagtte," "Pestilence" and "Famine" all have similar, but smaller effects.

The "Allies" Event is best used early in the game, when
vacant Lands are easyto find. It also works well with smaller Empires-adding two units to the Romans doesn't make
a big difference,but adding two to the Minoans can be very
useful. The "Civil Service" and "Population Explosion"
Events are also best used with smaller Empires, but they
don't have the restrictions of requiring vacant Lands.
The "Ship Building" Event is best used for an Empire
with more than two Navigable Seas. The "Engineering"
Event can add fortifications to the existing Empire' Use it
early in the game to improv€ the chanceof survival.
h*&&A#ffiffi ffixh$Ys

The "Naval Supremacy" Event is best used for an oceangoing Empire like Spain, Portugal or Britain. The "Pirates"
Event should only be used if the current Empire can guaranteea friendly port.
"siegecraft" and "surprise Attack" improve the odds
against fortified opponents.
"Empire Fortifies" and "Empire Revives" should be
used to fornfy previous Empires that are not in the way of
the current Empire's expansion.

Suilds & ffimgmmrxs$mm
Use your builds for offensebefore defense.Generally,if
the last one or two Armies can't gain you any points, look
br ways to defend. Howeve4,keep in mind that Forts and
exfa defenders are susceptibleto Events.
Scorepoints! Occupy as many different Areas as possiHe. It is easierto maintain a Presenceor Dominance in multiple Areas than to gain/maintain Control. In games with
many players, expansion is good. In games with few players, attacking your opponents' Lands rather than vacant
lands is the best strategy.
Reduce your opponents' points-especially opponents
doing well. For each Major/Minor Empire, determine
rhich Areas you can/ can't touch given a straight path. Use
this information to determine which Events to use. For
rxample, if your current Empire is Indus Valley, using a
EfisasterEvent against Egypt is a good idea. Try to target
Areas where leading opponents have Control or
Dmrination, especially if they haven't yet played this turn.
[.mk for enemy Fleets with marginal port support-sofir€times you are better off attacking the port Land to defeat the
Fleetat Sea.
Whenever possible, atiack into opponents' Lands conlaining Monuments, Capitals and Cities. Accentuate this in
Fanes with fewer players. This reduces their score and
ingeasesyours.
Maintain points for future turns through fortification.
Lse the natural terrain as defensive barriers. When attackiqg, seeif you can avoid Difficult Terrain by checking multiple paths.
Remember, you won't win every combat-there
rlwavs a risk.

hen we (the Colorado Computer Creations design
team) played our first game of the Avalon Hill
boardgameHIST ORy OF THE WORLD,we almost immediately becameexcited about the prospect of creating a computer version. The boardgame has a lot going for it:
. You can pick it up quickly.
o The historical features of the game enhancethe enjoyment, without crippling PlaY.
o The strategy of the game is more complex than it looks
at first glance.
That said, the single biggest problem with the board
game is the length of time for a multi-player game.
Completing a 6-player game in an evening requires a dedicated gaming group. However, a good portion of that time
is spent doing bookkeeping-keeping score, eliminating

unsupported Fleets,determining how many Monuments a
player can build (and where), determining the order of
Empire card drawing, counting out Units, etc. Here the
computer excels,where gamers with too little sleep tend to
make errors. That is not to mention the cat wandering
acrossthe board during play.
We programmed the computer players with one key
design goal-no cheating! The AI never peeks at the opposing players' Empire cards,and it does not use a different set
of dice or rules. There is also no collusion of the AI players
against the human opponents.We have strived to make the
AI responsive-it was programmed on an 80486-DX/4700
MHz machine, not a Pentium Pro 200-and we have left
options available to make it faster or slower.
We have tried to keep the computer version true to
Avalon Hill's boardgame-a game that we all enjoyed and
hope that you do, too.

Every effort was made to remain faithful to the
boardgame on which this computer game is based.
However, somechangesand enhancementswere necessitated in order to improve the flow of the computer game for
multiple human players and PBEM games.
o The "Trad.e"Event was replaced by an additional 'Civil
Service"Event.
o Players are limited to two Fleetsin each Ocean.
o The Incas & Aztecs of Epoch VI may expand from either
Capital with two Units rather than one Unit from each'
ln this way, the Incas & Aztecs can now expand to dominate North or South America.
o An Automatic Retreat option was added (see Section 1.0).
o AnAuto-Select Empires option was added (see Section 3).
o The Sumerians have been restored to their rightful place
as a full-fledged Empire rather than a neutral Minor

Empire.

o All errata published in the GENERAL magazinehas been
incorporated into the computer game.
o The computer game updates the scoresat the start of each
Epoch, showing what a given player's scoreis under the
current circumstances.Thesescorescan be decreasedby
players playing before a given player,or increasedwhen
the player plays his turn (seeSection14).
