What is Empire Deluxe?

Empire Deluxe is a Macintosh port of Classic Empire, a turn-based wargame with simple rules, conceived by Walter Bright in 1971 (released as a computer game in 1977) based on various war movies and board games such as Risk. In the game, each player starts with one city in an unexplored world, and uses the city to build armies, aircraft, and various types of ships. Cities take a particular number of turns to produce the various units. As players expand from the first city, they use their units to find and capture additional cities and become able to produce a greater number of unit types.  Has some similarities with Civilization and must have been inspiration to Sid Meier for sure.
