This game is similar yet different to the other Space Empire versions.
There are many factors you need to remember. Here a few excerts from the
actual documentation that you NEED to know:
New budgeting menu for easier use. If you buy soldiers, your military
harmony will average over all the soldiers. This means that if you have
say 100 soldiers, your morale is 50, and you buy 100 more soldier, you
end up with 200 soldiers of morale 25. This is an approximation of what
happens.
You may sell items to the Space Market, but you are get about half the
price you buy for. The menu will show you the current prices for both
buying and selling.
You must also keep at LEAST 2 million people per planet to mine ore,
grow food, run the goverment, or build industrial war machines. Failure
to have the required amount will result in a loss of income, food, and
industrial output. It is even possible at times to completly lose production.
If you keep your people happy, in return they may produce MORE. Also happy
people tend to increase in population faster than unhappy people. Your
population is important! Keep it happy.
There are many covert actions, and you may be able to do some sometimes and
at other times you may not. You will have to learn about these yourself,
but here are some general guidlines.
1. If a player is under protection, you will not succeed with covert
activities.
2. If the person you are trying to do things to has covert agents, they
work against you.
3. Those agents used for counter intellegence will return the next day.
In addition to the above there are a few more things you should know.
One of these things is Medical Research. Medical Research is used to
keep your population healthy. Not paying the reguired amount can result
in a population that grows sick, and tends to make them unhappy.
There also have been plagues reported through out the galaxy. Some of
these plagues have been knowns to destroy an entire empire in a single
turn. There is no present cure know, but maybe with some research you
could find one.
General Notes: In the original version, if you spent extra money, you
only got a benifit if you spent two times, four times, and sometimes five
times the amount. Now, the benefit is calculated based on the ratio of
what you spent versus what you needed. This can have important side effects
when you have the plague!
Space Lord: To become Space Lord, requires that you have a Sysop
configurable number of points instead of the fixed 100,000 the original
asked for! Obtaining that score and keeping ahead of the rest will forever
put your name on the list of Greats!
Missing a day or two of turns is normally a very deadly thing! Because of
this, the game will remember up to 1 days worth of turns. You get 5 turns
per day, so after missing 1 days, you will have 10 turns. Beyond that, you
lose those turns!
Many of the tricks and sneaky things have been corrected, but there are
still many ways for an enterprising, sneak to rise to the throne of Space Lord!
