Update
1.0 - Added the last battle, Ending, and Credits for the game

0.91- (Decided to play again. Found out that you need to put people in
shelters for the final battle so i updated it a bit.)
Minor update in the Hints/tips/strategies sections and added a little
bit to the walkthrough intro.

0.9- I spent 2 hours trying to beat the next stage but kept getting nuked 30
seconds into the game so I thought I would submit this first.

V. Story

*Taken directly from the intro, misspelled words are in the intro*

All heavenly bodies are
created in a glass vacuum
at the far reaches of space,
and there they are raised.
However, with the passage
of time an unpredictable
even may occur –-

The birth of intelligent
life.

Along with the birth
of intelligent life comes
the necessity for a ruler
for these new beings.

Hopeful rulers over these
beings gather from distant
stars in the glass vaccuum.

And here, the struggle
to become the ruler over
this new star begins.

This is the story of the
battle of these hopeful
rulers.

VI. Characters

Scarlet

Has a violent and aggresive temperament. A half-human, half-god from the
Pleiades System. She bears a red banner.

Caesar

Especially good at attacks which stab his enemies in the back. The godfather of
the TraPetsian Mafia. He bears a green banner.

Oberon

Cold and emotionless, he is the self-appointed king of the star Algos. He bears
a yellow banner.

Madcap

Very grudgeful, he uses nefarious strategies. The strongest trooper in the
Andromeda System. He bears a blue banner.

Personally, I do not see any difference with the 4 characters except for the
color and face.

VII. Walkthrough

There is no set strategy or way to win in this game; you must come up with a
strategy on the spot to be able to win since the computer always does different
things. I listed the islands in the order that you should play them. See my
Hints/Tips/Strategies section for help making your own strategies. Just
remember to put people in shelters so they will be available to use in the
last epoch.

You can only play this stage if you have people in shelters from previous
stages.
There is no building or inventing or mining other than taking over land in here.

VIII. Hints/Tips/Strategies

Every square has a different amount of resources and what kind of weapons can be
invented. Use this to your advantage.

You can use super speed. Push the button on the little man symbol at the top to
make it running.

If there is more then 1 opponent, try to select a square where you will be
separated from them so that they will kill each other while you build up. After
you build up and one of them is left, go in for the kill.

Some inventions need to be produced by putting men into the job. These are
usually the most needed invention to win for that island.

Try to start off using only 20 men for the first 2 maps. The third one is
usually the hardest and 60 men for it can really help.

If the square you started on doesn't have much, just give up and choose another
square.

If you cannot win one map using 20 men, go to another map and try and if you win
those maps with only 20 men each, you can come back with 60 men and try again.

On maps where the squares have blanks between them, you must use planes to get
to attack other places.

Heavy artillery takes more then 1 man to operate.

Nukes are really useful. Try to isolate yourself by nuking the squares adjacent
to you so that the enemies cant get to you easily and you can just get more
nukes and take them out.

In the earlier stages, use as little people as possible. However many people
you didnt use will carry over to the next epoch. This will help you out alot
in the later levels.

You have to put people in shelters to use in the last battle.

IX. Ending

The long battle has ended.
The fate of this planet now lies with you.
From watching you, it loocks to become a rather violent planet, though...
This planet is in your hands.
