What is Atlantis:

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 hasn't any iron.
