	Games - Merchant Empires

Merchant Empires is a free, browser-based, MMORPG game of space exploration, trade and combat. Players can choose from one of five detailed races: the warrior Mawlor, the merchant K.E.A., the scientist Paragon, the secretive Xollian, or the insectoid Zyck'lirg.

The game is played in a galaxy, with hundreds of star systems and thousands of planets. Players can build a base of operations; buy and sell almost fifty different types of goods to create and control trade routes; establish a center for scientific and weapons research; pilot one of almost one hundred ships in fleet warfare; co-ordinate attacks on rival bases; mine space lanes; or prowl through deep space on the hunt for enemy warships. The game can be played alone or in alliances with up to one hundred other players.

History

The AdvancedPowers Merchant Empire (APME) Open Project started in 2001 as a fork of the Merchant Empires code base originally created by Bryan Burton, with the intention of creating a distributable and truly open-source version of the game. Unfortunately, no link to source code is available at the site provided below. As of 2004,the APME modifications have resulted in an almost total rewrite of the core parts of the game and has added many new features. Merchant Empires: Profit & Prey is version 4.7 of the APME code base.
