Quick Starting Tips
Look at the Hostile Nations Property Chart to determine which building type will make money by another building type. Place a few Housing and Food buildings next to your Power Station and Bank. This will help them start making money in a shorter period of time. Build lower cost items at first. Do not buy the highest priced item you can afford until all of your building types have hit 100% Capacity Level. As they do make money for you, slowly sell off your lower cost items and replace them with higher cost items to gain greater returns. Do not go to war if you can not afford it!! Buildings may appreciate fully (if surrounded by enough building types to help them) after 8 Hours. If a building's expiration date is up, the building will then start to deteriorate to the point it loses money. Once the building has expired, you will not receive any money selling it and can only Tear it Down. You may sell a building before it expires and receive 3/4 the purchase value minus a $100,000 Tear Down cost.
How To Play
Screen Shot
Each player is given one PowerPlant, one Bank, and $30,000,000 Game Cash at the start of the game Increase your building's capacity levels by placing other building types next them (Check the Hostile Nations Property Chart for compatible types) Game Interface The game interface consists of a 800x600 window which requires your screen resolution to be at least 800x600. The game is best viewed with 1024x768 or greater. The game requires a minumum Windows 2000, 1GHz Pentium III processor, 128 RAM, and 56K modem connection. Faster machines will run the game smoothly!!! Macromedia Flash Player 9 or higher When you log into the game, the downloaded version will be checked with the current version available. If the version you are running is outdated, a message will be displayed requiring you to download the latest version. You must have the current version to access the game. It is free to download!!! The date listed at the top of the game window represents the last poll time. The game polls the database looking for any losses/profits from buildings, new attacks, building selling/hazmat through detailed listing, new messages, etc. There is aproximately 10-15 seconds between polls depending upon connection and speed of your computer In the middle of the game window is your map and/or conent information. Any information is loaded in this area when selecting the toolbar buttons at the bottom of the screen. Your username and Player ID are listed on the bottom of the left side of the game window. At the bottom of the right side of the screen lists your available Game Cash. This number may be negitive!!! Game Cash may be used for purchasing buildings, tearing down buildings, hazmating buildings, and purchasing weapons. Buildings Each building will gain or lose profit (based upon their capacity level at the time) every ten minutes. The ten minutes will be run at the minute of the build time (i.e. A Hotel was built at 10:32:16 PM. At the 2 minute mark...2,12,22,32,42,52 minute marks the building will return a net gain/loss for the past ten minutes). Every building has an expiration date. This can be found on the Detailed Listing page (Clicking on the Building with your mouse). The building may be sold before the expiration date for 3/4 of it's purchase value minus the Tear Down Cost only if the building does not need Hazmat cleanup (if the building was attacked it must be reconstructed first before it can be sold). Once the building has passed it's expiration time, the building can be torn down for $100,000. If a building makes profit, a green dollar sign will rotate above the building. If a red dollar sign is rotating above the building, this indicates the building lost money for the past 10 minutes. If a building was hit with a Missile, the building's capacity level will decrease based upon the total number of tiles that are destroyed. Example: An Apartment is only one square. If it is hit with a Missile the capacity level will drop to 0%. If a Mall is hit with a Missile on one tile, the Mall can still run at a maximum of 75% capacity.
