AVETERNA - BETA WORLD

An online game for every fan of Civilization and other strategy games on
the Amiga. One shared world for all players, in real time.

This is the BETA WORLD: the world will be reset after the beta phase.

Artificial intelligence is used to create the game and to move the
computer nations in the shared world.

Double-click the icon to play. Manuals (AmigaGuide) are included.

Versions
--------

  Aveterna                 AmigaOS 3.0+ (68020+, AGA or RTG). Also runs
                           on MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 (emulated 68k).
  Aveterna.os4             AmigaOS 4.1 (PowerPC), native.
  Aveterna.mos             MorphOS 3.x (PowerPC), native.
  Aveterna_AROS_x86_64     AROS x86_64, ABI v11 (axrt.org "v11" line,
                           e.g. AROS One / AROS-2026xx pc-x86_64).
  Aveterna_AROS_aarch64    AROS ARM 64 bit (Raspberry Pi 3/4 builds of
                           AROS, raspi-aarch64).

Every version updates itself from the game server with its own build
(the file it was started as is replaced, the previous one is kept as
.old). To play a native version, start it from the Shell or give it the
icon of the 68k version (rename).

All versions need a working TCP/IP stack (bsdsocket.library: Roadshow,
Miami, AmiTCP, MorphOS/OS4 network, AROSTCP on AROS) and a screen mode of
at least 640x400. On AROS the game opens its own screen in the depth of
the graphics card (the game itself draws in 256 colours), or runs in a
Workbench window (WINDOW tooltype, or Cancel in the screen mode requester).

Aminet has no architecture code for 64 bit AROS (x86_64, ARM); both AROS
versions are listed under i386-aros ("AROS on IBM compatibles").
