"... wonderfully tuned, challenging, complex without being overwhelming, and wears it's gameplay proudly on it's sleeve. Frog City should be wildly commended for shipping such an excellent title, and showing that turn based games, even ones without (relatively) big name licenses, can still pull their weight when it comes to fun. I strongly recommend this game." -- Rob "Xemu" Fermier, Irrational Games

"This game has totally blown me away, I have lost many hours of sleep playing through the night and have even wagged school so that I could get more game time, not to mention the hours of study I have missed out on for exams due to this freak of nature." -- Alex the Alien

Imp_list

Imp-List

Imp_list is the Imp 1/2 and Trade Empires discussion list, hosted by Yahoo Groups.

It is here.

Membership of Imp_list is required to download the full versions of the games, including the CD images. The reason for this: when the downloads were open to anyone and everyone, group member of not, the servers got hammered, and the daily bandwidth allowance was being used up in the first few hours of every day. By restricting downloads to those who can be bothered signing up, things are kept flowing along at a much more sedate pace.

Please note: we were plagued for a while with Biker Chicks, virus game sites and other patently non-Imperialism centered folks taking advantage of our collective good will and intelligence. Of course if you wish to be taken advantage of by these or any other demographic subsets, good luck to you — but this is not the place.

So, joining Imp_list requires you to put something in the “tell the list owner why you want to joing this group” box. Please mention “Imperialism”, “TE”, or something equally specific and unambiguous — anything that will confirm that you’re not a spamming sign-up script, or however these things are done these days. So, “Hi”, “Great group”, or “Love this game”, will not do it, sorry, and the application will be denied.
