Description: The year is 3126 A.D. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. World War III bombed civilization back to the Dark Ages.

These kings must act quickly to unite all mankind under a single leader. Lost technology is reverse engineered in a massive arms race, and the rediscovery of the atomic weapons is right around the corner...if used again the human race will not survive! Conquer the world in an epic game of battles, strategy and assassination!
