The game world consists of "sectors", which may be designated as +agricultural, industrial, etc. Control of these sectors grants the player a +variety of raw and manufactured materials, which they may use to construct +dozens of unit types. + +In each round, the players submit their commands for the activities of their +units to the central server, which executes all of the commands either +simultaneously or in a sequence. Rounds can last anywhere from a few hours +to a day. As such, a full game can take much longer than modern 4X games, +depending on the size of the game world; "Blitz" games may last a few hours, +while typical games last months and larger games can take up to a year to +complete. |
