Fracas - good quick game

Fracas

Few, if any, of you have heard of this game before. It is risk-like but can be played against AI (that's not bad sometimes), hotseat or the net (not sure how that works).

Availiable for FREE, I repeat, FREE, at www.smozzie.com

It is great when you just want to kill time, especialy on dial up computers. You can also have long games on it too (like, an hour, that was freaking huge map, a hundred tiny countries, I got seriouslypwned by 5 armies of 999 guys). I have had it for at least 3, maybe 4 years.

Fracas is a strategy game of tactical combat and world conquest. In Fracas, up to six human or computer players duke it out over land and water. Players deploy troops and build ports to attack opponents' countries and defend their own. Fracas now supports network play over a LAN, so you can play with your friends, too.

Everything in Fracas is customizable! The maps in the game are always random, allowing players to continually explore the tactical advantages of new worlds. The parameters that govern the size, shape, and mechanics of the world are tunable by the user. There are also multiple computer 'personalities' to play against. With so many options, it's easy to get addicted!

There is also a fully-functional map editor for Fracas.
Genesis, written by Pete Holiday, allows you to create your own custom maps!
