SHIP TYPES AND MOVEMENT AND COMBAT AND BLOCKADES:
You can move your Units one Planet per Turn.
Cruiser Fleet: Costs 2 Credits to place at a Shipyard. Cruiser Fleets can also Colonize and Capture planets. They have 2 Combat Dices at start.
Dreadnought: Costs 4 Credits to place at a Shipyard. They have 3 Combat Dices at start.
You can create 1 Cruiser Fleet OR 1 Dreadnought at any Planet with Shipyard every Turn.
Combat is simple: Attacker rolls the dice and Defender does the same; if the Attacker rolls more than Defender, the Defender's unit is destroyed.
If Defender rolls equal to or more than the Attacker, the Attacker's unit is destroyed.
Combat continues until all Attacking/Defending units are destroyed.
Blockades: After you destroy enemy units at a Planet, that Planet is blockaded until your units vacate it or capture it.
Blockaded Planet cannot build Ships, and no Credits whatsoever are produced by it for its owner.
---
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Each piece of Infrastructure costs 1 Credit to build. You can only build Infrastructure on colonized planets controlled by you.
Habitats: +1 Credit each Turn. +1 Combat Dice vs Capture attempt.
Space Fortress: +1 Combat Dice for units Defending it.
Shipyard: Allows Cruiser Fleets and Dreadnoughts to be created at this Planet.
Mines: +1 Credit each Turn.
Capital: Heart of the nation. +1 Combat Dice for units Defending it. +1 Combat Dice vs Capture attempt.
Moveable Infrastructure:
Currently you can only move your Capital, from one Lush Planet you control to another, for the cost of 10 Credits.
---
PLANETS:
There are several types of Planets across the FluidSpace. There's usually 1 per sector, but sometimes there's two (to differentiate the locations, the second planet is demarked with an *).
Types of Planets:
Lush (small green): Provides +1 Credit each Turn. The only suitable Planets for a Capital.
Barren (small gray): No special thing about them!
Gas Giant (big red): You cannot build Habitats or Mines on these.
Asteroids (three gray dots): You can only build Mines on these. Provides +2 to Combat rolls of units Defending it.
The most common are Barren planets, followed by Lush Planets and Gas Giants, and finally Asteroids.
Colonization:
Empty Planets need to be colonized. To colonize, simply move your Cruiser Fleet to an Empty planet, declare your intent to Colonize it and pay 3 Credits. Voila, the planet is yours!
Capture:
Cruiser Fleets can capture planets. Each Cruiser Fleet uses 3 dice on Capture attempt; this is weighed against Infrastructure bonuses of the Planet.
If a Cruiser Fleet wins, the Planet falls into the hands of the Conqueror (albeit 1 piece of Infrastructure gets razed).
If a Cruiser fleet loses, nothing happens, and the fleet can try again next Turn, provided enemy reinforcements don't arrive to blast it to pieces!
Glassing:
At certain point of Dreanought research, Dreadnoughts gain ability to 'Glass' enemy-controlled planets.
This destroys all Infrastructure on the planet and de-colonizes it. As side effect, a glassed Lush planet turns into Barren planet.
Terraforming:
At certain point of Terraforming research, you gain ability to Terraform colonized planets. Terraforming a planet initially costs 25 Credits.
Higher up on research, you gain more options for Terraforming and the cost of Terraforming gets lowered too.
---
SPACE FEATURES:
Non-colonizable things that are in space.
Space Lanes (white lines): These connect Planets together. Cruiser Fleets and Dreadnoughts can only move along these lines.
Wormhole (blue dot with purple border): You can move your Cruiser Fleets and Dreadnoughts through these for 1 Credit per each unit you with to move.
---
PLAYER ELIMINATION AND VICTORY CONDITIONS:
You eliminate a Player when you Capture or Glass his/her Capital Planet. Remaining planets fall under your control.
Current victory conditions are:
1. Extermination: Eliminate all other Players by capturing/glassing their Capitals.
2. Economy: Accumulate 500 Credits.
3. Empire: Control more than 50% of all Planets.
---
TRADING?:
Players can freely trade accumulated Credits with each other.
You can also give away Tech ranks if your rank in said research is higher than the other.
For example, if you have Cruiser tech 10 and your buddy has Cruiser tech 5, you can 'teach' him 3 tech ranks to raise his Cruiser tech rank to 8.
---
