MAIN GAME SCREEN

The main game screen has the following indicators and controls

A Build Icon - to enable you to build additional units in friendly spheres

A world map Icon - to enable you to return to the options screen

A time and day indicator

In normal turn based non timer mode touch the time indicator to advance the time by 1 hour

In RTS type game the time will update automatically, to pause and unpause the time update, touch the time indicator

At 21:00, the day will end and additional units will automatically be created, and additional power added to each sphere

Two information bars are in the lower centre of the screen

Touch the "End the current day" bar to end the current day and progress quicker

To the right is a "Harness Power" control, to enable you to harness all friendly sphere power levels

These will be added to your level of power indicated in the power figure below this control

Be careful however, as friendly spheres without power can be more easily converted later on in the game

You must first place your Capitol city in a friendly sphere before the game can start

Touch the world map to scroll around the world

Use this to view friendly spheres (blue), neutral spheres (green) and enemy spheres (red)

When your target cursor enters a sphere, details of the sphere will be displayed and Options you can control

Each sphere has:

A regional name

A current level of power

A maximum level of power

A daily charge level of power (this charge is added to the current level of power at the end of each day)

An industry that creates new units each day

Aviation, Power, and Technology spheres require your input to build structures and units

You can control neutral spheres by Converting them to friendly, Guarding them with a unit, or investing in them

Each controlling action will add three hours to the time clock

Converting a sphere will enable you to harness its power and build units in the sphere

Investing in them makes it less likely that your enemy will convert them for their own use

You can start to convert enemy spheres into neutral spheres after the 5th day

To convert this sphere into a friend you will then need to invest power into it

All of the above uses certain amounts of your power so be careful you don't go negative and lose the game

Using the Build option in a friendly sphere will enable you to build your units and structures

Building any unit costs you power that is indicated on the screen

Building any unit will advance the time by 1 hour and all units will respond and engage if within range

At any time you can select the unit, and invest in the power by disbanding the unit and reclaiming its value

This is useful when you have upgraded units fire power and strength and want to rebuild a stronger unit

Selecting a factory will enable you to chose either Fire Power or Hull Strength upgrade mode

You can then select the unit type to upgrade and use your power to upgrade the unit up to its maximum value

The next unit builds will then be built to these levels of fire power or hull strength

Greater fire power will enable you to destroy the enemy more quickly

Greater hull strength will enable your unit to absorb more hits from the enemy

Touching a friendly unit will allow you to see the unit information, and if available set it to Guard its position, or roam around to find the enemy

Touching an enemy unit will let you know which of your units it can target

Each day the enemy will be building units, upgrading units, and trying to convert neutrals to be enemies, and eventually will convert your friendly spheres

If the enemy converts all spheres to enemy, the game will be lost and you will have been defeated

If you lose all your power by the end of a day, the game will also be lost
