LORDS OF THE GALAXY DOCUMENTATION

Rules of the game

If you play the offline game, the computer will imitate five other gamers.

So, six gamers will play the offline game, you and 5 other gamers. If you play the online game you can play with a minimum of one partner, and a maximum of five partners. So from two to six gamers can play the online game.

At the beginning of the game each gamer has 3000 coins. Each gamer will start the game from the base. First of all you should buy resources for your ship. If your ship doesn't have one resource, you will not be able to move to the next planet. Use the ship menu to buy resources for your ship. Use the letter S to open the ship's menu.

If your ship has enough resources you can move to the next planet. Use the ship's menu for this purpose. Each time you will hear a task, for example: you must move to the wood 4 planet or another planet. Then you will move through either meteorites zone, pulsars zone, the maze of time, or you will have to make light jumps and navigate your ship in galaxy curves. In this way you move from one planet to another. You will be able to collect the coins during movement.

There are sixty-five planets on the game board.

The Base is at position 0. All gamers start the game from this planet. The last planet has position 64. Each of the planets except base may be on position 64. All planets are placed in a circle. After planet with position 1 will be planet with position 2. After planet with position 25 will be planet with position 26. After planet with position 64 will be planet with position 0(base). So you will move in this circle. Base is the start point of the game circle. Each time when you will complete the game circle by using item move to next planet from the ship's menu, you will get earnings from your planet and 250 coins to your cash. Please note, if you move to the base by using the s.o.s, by using teleport stations or by using a space truck, you won't get any earnings from your planets and you won't get any money to your cash.

Nobody can buy the base. None of the enemy can attack you when you are on the base. Only when you are at the base can you get access to your bank account, put money in to the bank, to take out or repay a loan. Use the money menu for this purpose. Use the letter M to open the money menu. Please note, you may not get a loan higher than 3000 coins. Also you can't get a loan if you have more than 500 coins in your cash. You can not make the same actions with money on other planets, only on the base.

On all other planets you can only check your cash, your bank account and your loan. Also you can exchange your money in the bank on each current planet except the base. Use exchange item in the money menu for this. If you exchange your money you can get more money, or you may loose some. You can exchange your money only 1 time on the current planet. The game continues until all the planets are sold, the winner being the person with the most cash, and they are declared lord of the galaxy.

Each gamer can buy any other planet if it's free. Planets range in price, to check a price of a particular planet, press the space bar when you are on the item buy planet from the planet menu. To get to the menu of the planet menu, press the letter P when you land on a planet.

If you are the owner of the planet, you can sell the things that planet produces.

You will get the revenue from the planets directly to your bank. If a player lands on your planet, they will pay you rent. Each planet they land on which you own, they pay twenty coins. So if you own four restaurants, they would pay you eighty coins.

The teleport and truck stations have a rent of 40 coins. This price is fixed. If you own 5 or 6 teleport stations or truck stations, each time a player lands on them they will only pay you 40 coins rent. The Planet owner can buy resources for there planets. Each time when they complete a game circle, he will get earnings from his (her) planets, if these planets have resources. 1 point of resource for each planet costs 1 coin.

If anybody appears on your planet, he (or she) will pay you rent. Galaxy monsters, galaxy pirates and enemy robots will attack you from time to time. You will struggle against enemies. If you manage to beat them, you save your cash. Also you will get coins for each enemy that you kill. If enemies beat you, you will loose half of your cash, in hand.

Enemies can attack you only when you are on the planet not while moving to a planet.

Enemies can attack you on all planets except the base. Each gamer can buy resources for his (her) ship on any planet. But resources on the different planets have different prices. Also you should keep in mind that you can buy all resources only when on the base and at the market. On all other planets you can buy only 2 kinds of resources. Resources on different planets have different prices.

The game continues until all the planets are sold, the winner being the person with the most cash, and they are declared lord of the galaxy.
