Surface of the planet is presented in form of square-cell territories, each of them has different properties. These properties affect difficulty of moving over them, and number of resources, mined in towns. |

Emissary - the most important figure in the game. When the emissary dies, it's game over. That is why you should guard him in well-defended city. If you manage to destroy the emissary of a hostile clan, the race which he once controlled will cease any aggression towards you. Also, they will gladly surrender their towns to you without struggle. |

Towns are the base of your state. The most important functions of towns are development of science, training units and the annual collection of gold and minerals. Around the center of your town you may develop the buildings to improve some certain things. The speed of building and training depends on population, and population in its turn depends on town's ability to feed its citizens.
