Controls
| Players in Game | This is a listing of the current players in the game. Each player controls an empire which is listed here. Each empire shows its flag, name, and age. More players can be added to the game by selecting the Add New or Add Existing buttons. | |
| Random Computer Players | These two options allow you to select whether there will be random computer-controlled empires added to the game when it starts. Added computer players can either be regular empires or neutral empires. Regular empires are full fledged empires just like a human player. Neutral empires are empires which are limited to their home system and are not a major threat in the quadrant. When the game starts, the players that are listed in the "Players in Game" list will be created, and then if these options are selected, random empires will be created as well controlled by the computer. | |
| Number of Computer Players | If one of the options for "Random Computer Players" is selected, then this selection controls how many random empires will be created. | |
| Computer Player Difficulty | This selection controls the overall difficulty level of the computer controlled players. | |
| Computer Player Bonus | This option gives a bonus to the computer players to make them more difficult. This is only recommended for experienced players. |
