------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - INTRODUCTION:

In this game you must develop a civilization as much as possible, discover

new technologies, build structures, defend against other civilizations
Either they want to take their cities or try to maintain a peaceful relationship with them.
even being able to exchange technologies or, if you are much more powerful, win
their money through the payment of taxes, I will try to make a guide as
clear and objective possible for you to develop your maximum potential
civilization.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 - START:
On the home screen you will have three options (one, if it is your first time that you are
playing), they are:
START - Start a new game;
CONTINUE - Load a saved game;
HALL OF FAME - Shows a ranking of the five best civilizations.
2a - STARTING A NEW GAME:
By choosing START, you will have three options, they are:
GAME START: The game starts on a random map.
CUSTOMIZE WORLD: Alters various aspects of the world, more details to follow.
EARTH: Enables a map like Earth.

2b - CUSTOMIZING THE WORLD;

By choosing CUSTOMIZE WORLD, you will be able to change some aspects of the world in
where your civilization will be located, they are:
LAND MASS (size of the world) - You can choose between small, medium, and
big.
You can choose between cold, normal, and hot,
I advise against choosing the cold, as this may
harm in agriculture.
You can choose between arid, normal, and humid.
You can choose between 3, 4, or 5 billion years.
Recommended combination for beginners: LAND MASS - Large
Normal
CLIMATE - Normal
AGE - Anyone.

2c - LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY:
When choosing GAME START, the next step will be to choose the difficulty level.
you have the following options:
CHIEFTAIN (tribe leader) - The easiest level, you will have tutorials for you
explaining the basics of the game, it starts with 300+ in
money, new technologies are discovered
quickly and it's very easy to keep the people happy.
Warlord - A level that is not so easy, but also not difficult at all,
you start with no money, but it's easy to earn,
there are no more explanatory tutorials, the technologies
they take a little longer to appear, but still
It's easy to keep the people happy.
PRINCE (Prince) - Intermediate level, earning money becomes a bit more
difficult, just like maintaining the happiness of the people,
technologies take a little while to appear, I recommend this
level for those who already know the basics of the game.
KING - A very difficult level, staying afloat with money to support your
civilization will be a serious problem, the population will not be
easily satisfy and scientific advances will need to
quite an investment, good luck!
EMPEROR - Extreme level of difficulty, few manage to survive
here, only for extremely experienced players, the
definitive test for your skill in strategy.

2d - CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF RIVAL CIVILIZATIONS:

After choosing the difficulty level, you will need to choose how many civilizations
(including yours) must exist in the world, you can choose at least 3
(recommended for beginners) and at most 7.

2e - CHOOSING YOUR CIVILIZATION:

After choosing the number of rival civilizations, you will finally have to choose.
a civilization to develop, your options are as follows:

CIVILIZATION LEADER COR

Rome César Blue
Babylon Hammurabi White
Germany Frederich Roxa
Egypt Ramses Brown
America Lincoln Rose
Greece Alexander Green
India Gandhi Yellow
Russia Stalin Blue
Japan Yes White
France Napoleon Roxa
Aztec Montezuma Brown
China Mao Tse Tung Rose
Great Britain Elizabeth Green
Mongolia Genghis Khan Yellow

Apparently there is no significant difference between the civilizations,

so choose whichever you want and if you want you can change the leader's name, after the
initial advice from the goddess, the game begins.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 - SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT
Anarchy - It is the system with which you start the game; the leader is the DICTATOR.
The money collection rate is good as long as you build.
roads and MARKET PLACES, the Wonder COLOSSUS also helps, the people stay
happy easily, as long as TEMPLES and the ORACLE are built, and the
intellectual production is reasonable as long as you build LIBRARIES and
the C. OBSERVATORY, but as buildings are being constructed, this
the system becomes incompatible with expenditures.
Monarchy - The leader is the KING, the collection rate increases slightly, but soon
requires the construction of BANKS to offset the expenses, maintain the
a happy people becomes a little more difficult and becomes necessary
build COLOSSEUMS AND CATHEDRALS, as well as the Wonders M. CHAPEL,
JSB CATHEDRAL and S. THEATER, intellectual production improves, but
it would be interesting to build UNIVERSITIES and Wonder N.COLLEGE, to
improve even more, this system is advisable when the majority
of your cities being at level 10.
Republic - The leader is the CHANCELLOR, the tax collection rate and production
intellectuals make a tremendous leap, but keeping the people happy becomes
increasingly difficult, the construction of the Wonders SUFFRAGE AND CURE
CANCER can help, but what really helps is to maintain the rate of
LUXURY in at least 2, this system is advisable when the majority
of your cities is at level 20.
Democracy - The leader is the PRESIDENT, revenue and intellectual production increase
even more, but the population will not be easily satisfied, no
I usually use this system, but if you want to take a chance, just put it in.
when your cities reach level 25.
Communism - The leader is also the PRESIDENT, the people stay in line due to the law
Marcial, intellectual production is falling sharply, that's why
it becomes necessary to produce DIPLOMATS to steal technology from
other civilizations, I can't say what happens with the rate of
revenue collection, but I believe it should be the same as the ANARCHY system.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

7 - MENUS
7a - MAIN MENU - It is accessed by placing the cursor (torch) in a location where
it does not have a unit or city, it consists of the following
options:

Distribute - It serves to distribute points among the collection rates of

taxes (Tax), production of consumer goods (Lux) and production
intellectual (Sci), you have 10 points to distribute among them,
the more points you have in TAX, the more money you earn per turn,
the more points the LUX has, the lower the possibility of there being
riots in the cities, and the more points the SCI has, the faster
new technologies will emerge.
Advice - These are information about your civilization, this option opens up others
what are:
City Status - provides general information about each city such as
population, food production, production of goods
consumption and tax collection.

Military - provides information about its units, how many are there
being produced and how many are active.
Intelligence - provides information about other civilizations, but only
after you establish an embassy in it.
Attitude - provides information about the happiness of the people.

Trade - provides financial information about each city, how much it

raises and how much it spends.

Science provides information about intellectual production, which

technologies have already been discovered and how many turns are left
to discover the next one.

Revolution - Starts a revolution to change the system of government, after some

shifts, you will be able to choose which system you want to follow.
Information - More information about the civilizations, this option opens
three others that are:

Top Five Cities - Show the five most developed cities of

world.

Score - Shows your score that depends on various factors.

Demographics - Displays various information about the population of
your civilization.

Jump - It transports you directly to a city of your choice.

World Map - Shows you the map of the world.

Option - Used to activate or deactivate some game options, such as music,

animations, etc.

Save - Save your game.

Exit - Ends the game.

7b - CITIES MENU - Can be accessed by clicking with the cursor on a city,

you
it will have the following options:

City - It serves to distribute the working population around the land.

In the city, they can work in food production or mining.

Production - It serves to manage the production of goods (units and buildings)

on the right side you have the CHANGE options that serve to change the
it will be built and BUY to buy the product soon, here you can
also sell a building, but only BUILDINGS can be
sold.

Armed Forces - It serves to manipulate the units that are within the cities.
View - It gives you an overview of the city.

Happy - It shows you the level of happiness in the city.

Rename - It is used to change the name of a city.

7c - UNIT MENU - Can be accessed by clicking the cursor over a

unit, depending on where this unit is, some
Options may appear or not, the options are as follows:

Move - Move the unit in the direction you choose, if in that direction
if there is a unit from another civilization, the movement will be an attack and
depending on your attack power and the defense power of the attacked, you
can destroy it, or be destroyed.

Replenish - Only SETTLERS can perform this function, it is used to

 transform the Settler into a member of the city population,
increasing her level by 1, upon executing this action you will no longer be able to
to be used.

Wait - Remains in a waiting state until other units perform their actions.

Sentry - Is in a state of vigilance, if a unit from another civilization

as it gets closer, it returns to the active state.

Defense - Stays in a state of defense, only returns to active state if you click
about him with the cursor.

Home City - Becomes a stateless unit as a member of that city.

No Order - Closes the unit's shift.

Disband - Abandon the unit and it will no longer be usable.

Land - Can only be used by maritime transport units, serves to

disembark ground units inside them.

City - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, used to build a new city,
by using this option the Settler disappears.

Irrigation - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, used to irrigate certain

lands, such as Ground, Grass, Hills, and Deserts as long as they are
near rivers, lakes, or oceans and thus increase production
of food.

Mine - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, it is used to mine certain terrains.
like Mountains, Hills and Deserts and thus accelerate the production of goods.

Road - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, used to build roads.

depending on the land where it is built, it can increase revenue
of money in the city, ground units that move on roads have
your mobility tripled.
Fortress - Can only be used by the SETTLERS and after acquiring the technology
CONSTRUCTION, is used to build fortresses, units that remain
inside them has its defensive power increased, and if there are more than
a unit inside a fortress and they are attacked, only
One can be destroyed with each attack.
Railroad - Can only be used by the SETTLERS and after acquiring the technology
RAILROAD, is used to build railways over a road
normal, land units that move on railway tracks have
infinite mobility.

Ground/Grass - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, transforms Forests, Swamps

the forests in land suitable for irrigation.

Forest - Can only be used by the SETTLERS, transforms flat terrains into
forests (useless, in my opinion).
Plunder - Destroys irrigation and mines.

When a Diplomat enters a city of another civilization,

 the following options appear:

Establish an embassy - create an embassy in that civilization and you start to

For information about, you are notified periodically
when this civilization discovers a new technology and
when she is at war with another.

Search for Cities - I think this is for locating the cities of that
civilization, I only used it once and nothing happened.

Steal Technology - steal a technology that you do not have yet, this can
to result in a declaration of war.

Cause Destruction - supposedly destroys buildings of that civilization, but

I also don't use that, so I'm not sure.
Request for an audience - ask for an audience with the king, more details in topic a
to follow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 - HEARINGS
Eventually you will have to make contact with other civilizations, they will send
envoys to talk to you, here is what may happen if you accept
to converse
If this is your first contact with civilization, the king will be grateful for the
attention and may propose the exchange of technologies, for example:

"Currency is a technology that you do not have, we would like to exchange it for a"
about your technologies, what do you tell us?

Option 1 - Who needs this? (decline the offer)

Option 2 - Yes, let's trade (accept the offer)

After that, if you have any other technology that they want and vice versa.
if it is not true, these will be the terms of the conversation:

Your civilization is a joke, we would be very pleased to go to war with you, but
If you teach us the Riding technology, we will spare you!

Option 1 - We will not teach you anything (this may lead to a declaration of war)
Option 2 - We will cooperate (provides the required technology)

There is still the possibility that they will require a tax from you, in that case.
the conversation will take place as follows:

"You are an evil and insignificant tribe, which we can easily annihilate,"
but if you give us a certain amount of money, we will spare you!
Option 1 - We will not pay you anything! (high chance of declaration of war.)
Option 2 - We understand and will cooperate (pays the tax.)

In both previous cases, if you choose the second option, they will propose a
peace treaty, you have the following options:

Option 1 - No! (rejects the proposal and declares war!)

Option 2 - Alright, let's make a treaty. (Accepts the offer)
If you choose the second option, the leader of the other civilization celebrates the alliance and
It says that you have the eternal friendship of their people, then you will have three more.
final options:
Option 1 - The pleasure is ours (closes the hearing)
Option 2 - Request reinforcements (Ask for help to fight against another civilization)
Option 3 - Demand payment of tax (may result in a declaration of war)
If you choose the second option and they accept, they will ask for a certain amount in
money to help in the war, it is up to you to accept it or not.

9 - CABINS
They are spread all over the world and if you enter them it can happen
various things, such as founding a new city, acquiring mercenary units,
acquire new technologies, acquire money or find criminals, then
I always advise saving before entering a cabin.

10 - TYPES OF LAND
Ground (land) - It is used for irrigation and roads, grounds with the figure of a
animals produce more food.
Grass (grama) - It has the same function as Ground.

Hills - They are used for mining and irrigation, grounds with the figure of a
black rock, produce more mineral resources and accelerate the
production of goods, units located on hills have their power
double defensive.

Mountains - They are used for mining, mountains with the figure of a
another bar produces more money if it is made a
road over it, units located on a mountain
its defensive power increased by 200%.

Forests - Practically useless, those that have the figure of an animal

they still produce some food, but the best is really
knock them down. (how anti-ecological hehehe!)

Jungle - Only those with the figure of a blue stone serve, make roads.
those that do not have them are
useless and must be removed.

11 - TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

Don't build too many cities or it will be very difficult to control expenses, do it.
five, at most six, when you are more experienced you can take a risk with one
greater number.

Keep a distance not too great between the cities, but avoid that the
useful area of one invades the other.
Make the most of all the useful area of your cities, irrigate, mine, and build roads,
do not leave any square unused, have at least two Settlers
working on it.

Build cities in areas with varied terrain, avoid building only in

lands for irrigation or only in lands for mining and have at least
a city close to the ocean or it will not be able to make maritime units.

Defend your cities well, have at least 3 defensive units within them.
because in addition to the risk of being attacked by other civilizations, there is still
the pirates and bandits who want to plunder and loot.

Be ready to attack, make attack units to attack others.

civilizations that declare war against you, do not yield to threats, unless
the other civilization might be much more powerful, in that case it is better to maintain peace.

Be attentive to your money, if the income is lower than the expenses,

build Market Places and Banks to try to reverse this, if it is not enough,
change the system of government.

Keep the people happy, build temples, colosseums, and cathedrals whenever
there is a threat of riots, when they happen the production of goods stops and
delays the development of the city.
