To return to the spinning world touch again

Touch the World to start the main game screen or press Play

The main game screen has the following indicators and controls
A Build Icon – to enable you to build additional units in friendly spheres
A world map Icon – to enable you to return to the options screen
A time and day indicator
In normal turn based non timer mode touch the time indicator to advance the time by 1 hour
In RTS type game the time will update automatically, to pause and unpause the time update, touch the time indicator

At 21:00, the day will end and additional units will automatically be created, and additional power added to each sphere

Two information bars are in the lower centre of the screen

To the right is a “Harness Power” control, to enable you to harness all friendly sphere power levels

Be careful however, as friendly spheres without power can be more easily converted later on in the game

You must first place your Capitol city in a friendly sphere before the game can start
Touch the world map to scroll around the world
Use this to view friendly spheres (blue), neutral spheres (green) and enemy spheres (red)

Each sphere has:
A regional name
A current level of power
A maximum level of power
A daily charge level of power (this charge is added to the current level of power at the end of each day)
An industry that creates new units each day

You can control neutral spheres by Converting them to friendly, Guarding them with a unit, or investing in them
Each controlling action will add three hours to the time clock
Converting a sphere will enable you to harness its power and build units in the sphere
Investing in them makes it less likely that your enemy will convert them for their own use

You can start to convert enemy spheres into neutral spheres after the 5th day
To convert this sphere into a friend you will then need to invest power into it

All of the above uses certain amounts of your power so be careful you don’t go negative and lose the game

Using the Build option in a friendly sphere will enable you to build your units and structures
Building any unit costs you power that is indicated on the screen
Building any unit will advance the time by 1 hour

At any time you can select the unit, and invest in the power by disbanding the unit and reclaiming its value

Selecting a factory will enable you to chose either Fire Power or Hull Strength upgrade mode
You can then select the unit type to upgrade and use your power to upgrade the units next build

Each day the enemy will be building units, upgrading units, and trying to convert neutrals to be enemies, and eventually will convert your friendly spheres

If the enemy converts all spheres to enemy, the game will be lost and you will have been defeated
If you lose all your power by the end of a day, the game will also be lost
