DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------
These  are pre-made empires for Space Empires  III  that
you can use in a game if it allows you to have the  same
starting  items and if you have the correct  Ship  Names
and Ship Pictures files installed.

HOW TO USE
--------------------------------------------------------
Copy  the  *.EMP files that you want to  use  into  your
"Space  Empires III\SaveGame" folder.   (The  "SaveGame"
subfolder  of  the  folder you have  Space  Empires  III
installed  into.)  To load the file click the  "Load..."
button in the "Empire Setup" screen that you go to  when
you  add  a new empire.  Select the file  you  want  and
click   "Open".   Now  the  empire  is  loaded  and   if
everything is acceptable you can click "OK" and it  will
be added to the game.

CREATE YOUR OWN
--------------------------------------------------------
To  create your own empire file for Space  Empires  III,
create  your  empire as normal from the  "Empire  Setup"
screen,  then  click  "Save...", type a  name  for  your
empire,  and  click "Save" again.  Your  empire  is  now
saved  in  the  "SaveGame" subfolder  of  Space  Empires
III, and can be loaded at a later time.
