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.

Well what can I say? Imperialism was one of the first ever games I got bought for me when I was a kid. I loved it. I didn’t really have any other exposure to strategy games prior to it so when I got it it was like wow. Since then I’ve been an avid strategy gamer but I always yearned for imperialism, from getting madly frustrated that you can’t upgrade your factories for lack of resources to the pleasure of your first country becoming a colony so cool. So I really want to join this site, because I had trade empires and imperialism 2 but I sucked at both of them, and I’d like to learn to win. Also and more importantly imperialism is still completely playable for me and I really want to discuss it.
hi,
i want to join this group because i play the game for 10 years now. i played every scenario in Imp1 100 times. im looking for a new challenge. ive seen that someone created new maps an scenarios, im very interested.
I really want to get back to playing Imperialism 1. I had the original software, but now I have Windows 7. If I download it will I be able to play without a bunch of tweaking? I am not totally computer literate, just know the basics to do my stuff. Thanks
