Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons. Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders. Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

About the game
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
"Hegemony 3.0.e" is a turn-based strategy game that simulates the hegemonic
|
|
efforts of medieval empires. "The game of the middle ages" requires correct
|
|
decisions in fields of economics, science, diplomacy, and military. Finding a
|
|
healthy balance among these fields is essential to achive the final goal:
|
|
The establishment of a perfect hegemony.
|
|
A goal that so many empires pursued unsuccesfully in history. Now, it's your
|
|
turn to rewrite history...

Apologies

"The first thought of God was an angel.
|
|
The first word of God was a man."
|
|
(Kahlil Gibran)

|
|
I have always been a fan of strategy war games and have tried many of them.
|
|
There were bad ones, mediocre ones and good ones, but none was perfectly
|
|
fitting for my taste. So after a time I realized I myself have to make the
|
|
"game of my dreams".
|
|
Well, my thought was the "game of my dreams"...
|
|
... and what I realized is: "Hegemony"!
|
|
|
|
Like God's creation, man, isn't a perfect incarnation of an imagined project,
|
|
so my game isn't either. But like man, so my game has the soul of a superior
|
|
virtual being. (And of course, as I am a little speck of dust in comparison to
|
|
God, so is my creation in comparison to His. ;-))
|
|
|
|
But enough of this sentimental philosophy.
