[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This was a joke game dumped on Steam as a bit of a cash grab in the hopes of going viral without any reason for it to do so... essentially a weak PvP arena lambasting an event where a bunch of Australian soldiers were sent out on an emu cull to kill off what was seen as an excessive population, but were unable to kill any sizeable number of the birds, so packed up and went home.

Игра «The Great Emu War» — оригинальная историческая стратегия, основанная на реальных событиях 1932 года. Вы управляете австралийскими фермерами, борющимися с разрушительными эму. Геймплей сочетает управление ресурсами, стратегическое планирование и ограниченные возможности.

Рекомендуется любителям нестандартных исторических симуляторов.
