It is PBEM, Play By E-Mail game. Imagine Might and Magic or other turn-based strategy (i.e. Master of Orion). Now imagine that after each turn program creates a text file with current game position, and sends it to player. And player replies with his orders in other text file. And now imagine some dozens of players of this kind, playing same game. This will be about PBEM.

Atlantis looks much like mentioned Heroes of Might and Magic, there is a leaders, squads and hexagonal map too. And, it is fantasy. That means that people there cutting dragons and each other with swords and sorcery, and you can see earry elves and hammerly gnomes all around.

What is Advisor

As we know, PBEM reports is nothing more than large sheets of texts. There is sometimes boring to read them through. So, some smart people writes programs to read reports and show them in tables, maps and images. That programs commonly known as clients. And, whoops, Advisor is a client for Atlantis!

Advisor can draw a cool cute map with many options, load as much as you want turn reports and issue some common orders. It uses "unit know what it can do" concept. That means, you cannot order to produce axes, if unit isn't skilled as weaponsmith or has no ron.

This client also have some features like weight and movement type calculations, and issuing movement orders direct from the map (i.e. clicking on location adds some move orders to unit's list). All items in Advisor are breaked into groups and looks different in tables. Every group has its own features, which being taken in account when unit decides to accept or decline particular orders.

Orders given to unit will be immediately processed. For example, when you dragging some stone by mouse from unit's items onto another unit, that second one will now shown with stone (and the first one without it, of course).

Client was tuned for Atlantis 4.0.10, running, for example, on Dragoncat server. But practically it supports almost all currently running 4.x Atlantis servers.

Let me introduce some most significant features.
Order Script allows you to write your own behaviors for units and avoid mundane repeating actions.
Battle Viewer / Simulator shows battles in graphical Might & Magic style. Result of a battle can be predicted.
Various statistics shows different types of info; for exemple, you will know if someone working / entertaining / taxing in some regions, even if there is no visible units.
Armies. Units grouped into armies will move together.
Needs. Declare amount of silver needed for studying unit once - and then forget about it. Unit will automatically get needed items from other units.
