Emperor Of The Fading Suns is for Windows 95/98, or at least the version
on The Underdogs is.  http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=367

Taking that stance, you will be waiting a long, long, long, long, long
time before you could get your "RPG within 4X TBS" game going.  Like
several years.  I would encourage you to look for other projects that
are more suitable now.  A possibility, although I haven't played it or
looked at the code: Battle for Wesnoth http://www.wesnoth.org/
