Introduction

Welcome to Hypclone, the best massively-multiplayer strategy game!



The Hypclone Intergalactic Empire, following the advices of the Supreme Council, has decided to put some order in the very distant galaxy named KZ56201-A73, best known as 'Black Plug'. In about thousand and two hundred years, as planned by the Millennial Expansion Program, this galaxy will be colonized by thousands of billions of Hyperiums citizen, coming from the thirty thousands galaxies ruled by the Hypclone Empire. The Supreme Council expects this new galaxy to be pacified and civilized on time.
By signing up in this game, you will be given by Hypclone a free hand to administer one planet (to start with).

The aim of the game is to extend the cultural influence of your planets, so that Hyperiums recognizes you as the best Administrator. Naturally, increasing your influence costs a lot, and you will need to trade and fight to extend your control over other planets. Like all other Administrators!

There are two ways to conquer a planet: a soft one, and a brutal one. The soft way is by progressively infiltrating the target planet, until it falls under your control. The brutal way is by sending war ships and dropping your armies to the ground.
Achieving conquests is expensive: in order to finance these activities, you will need to establish commercial relations with other planets and make profits from them. Don't be scared, it's easy, you will see!

Just a few words concerning the spirit of the game. You will not be given the exact formulas used to compute the battles or the infiltrations. You will get informations about, for example, the relative characteristics of the ships and races, but (quite) no number and no math formula. We expect our players to get this knowledge by experience. Just be aware that chance is everywhere, that all computations include random numbers. Didn't Heisenberg teach us that everything is a matter of probability? :-)
