GAME RULES
• Higher Goal: Allow Victory by Transcendence
• Total War: Allow Victory by Conquest
• Peace in Our Time: Allow Diplomatic Victory
• Mine, All Mine: Allow Economic Victory
• One For All: Allow Cooperative Victory. Your pact brothers can help you
achieve victory conditions, and share the victory with you.
• Do Or Die: Don’t Restart Eliminated Players. Normally, if a faction is elim-
inated (particularly early in the game), the leadership escapes and founds a
new base elsewhere on Planet. Under this option, when a faction’s gone, it’s
gone for good.
• Look First: Flexible Starting Locations. When you make planetfall, your
colony pod waits for you to order it to build your first base, allowing you
to reposition the base if you wish.
• Tech Stagnation: Slower Rate of Research Discoveries. Technological
progress is slowed down across the board.
• Spoils of War: Steal Tech When Conquer Base. When you conquer a base
of a faction that possesses technology that your faction does not, you may
select one technology to steal.
