Sample Empire Builder Setup for Galactic Empires

Note: The game generated 'printouts' are designed to be viewed with a
Courier type font. If the columns do no line up on your screen this is the
reason. If copy/move the document into a program that will permit you to
use a Courier type font this problem will be corrected.

All of the system locations given in this and the following samples are
for demonstration purposes only and do not exist in the regular game of
Galactic Empires.

What you will see is the standard setup for an Empire Builder type
position in the game Galactic Empires.

Some things to note:
     Production is determined by the number of population (PP), industry
(IN) and resourses (RS) you have present at a location. In this case with
5000PP, 5000IN and 5000RS this Empire begins with the capability of
building 5000 points worth of new items. As units are built the RS is
consumed. Any unused RS will remain at that location for the next turn.
     New RS is produced each turn by the PP with one RS being produced per
PP not in excess of the Resource Production Limit (RP).
     In some ways this is a very simple system, but as you can see it does
require some degree of balance to insure all things are present when
needed. As you will see in the sample turns to come it does work well.

On the defensive side of things we have 500 Battle Stations (BS), 500
Planetary Fortresses (PF) and 500 Regular Army units (RA). Given our
current situation and the fact that the only thing we have to defend
against is a scout fleet this will do very well.

For fleets we have two, Fleet 1J contains 10 Battleships (BB), 50
Crusiers (CA), 100 Destroyers (DD) and 100 Transports (TR). Fleet 2J holds
our scouts with 300SC.

Well, that about covers a very general overview of the setup. We will go
into more detail with the next few turns to give you a better idea of the
game system and how it flows. We plan to go through six or seven turns
posting a new turn everyother day.
