THE RACES
SCREEN (CONT.)
Report Button: gives the latest intelligence report
on a race. Clicking on this button turns the mouse shape into “WHO”
and then you must click on the race that you wish to investigate.
This will bring up the Report Screen.
Audience Button: will allow you to conduct negotiations
with any empire you are in contact with. Clicking on this button
turns the mouse shape into “WHO” and then you must click
on the race that you wish to talk with. The Audience Screen will
then be displayed showing the areas that you may discuss.
Repeated Audiences: Emperors are very busy people.
They do not have time for repeated haggling over the same topics.
Every audience after the first will find the emperor less willing
to be cooperative with your requests. If you continue to pester
him he will become unavailable and you may not have another audience
for several years.
STATUS SCREEN
Each bar is a logarithmic representation of a race’s
power in each area. Only those races that you are in contact
with will appear on the status screen.
The Fleet section shows the relative strength of the starship
fleets of each race. The Population section is a straight census for
each player’s race. The total technology level of each race
can be found in the Tech section. Planets show the number of planets
each side owns that can produce at least 100 BC. Production gives
the total production of each planet on a logarithmic scale. As the
bar extends to the right each unit of length represents more and more
production. Finally, total power is a relative rating of the strength
of each race. The most powerful race is shown as a full bar and every
other race is shown proportionally.
