??? : "What?"

A voice spoke up, breaking the stale silence of the empty plain, the only sound coming from the wind which was blowing through the large grass. Not a single living thing which wasn't a plant or insect could be seen in any direction.

Request for further explanation acknowledged,

You have been selected as one of a trillion iterations in an experiment testing this universes inhabitants.

You and your fellow competitors will have an allotted amount of time, unspecified as of now, to build up a force, small or weak its up to your actions. This force will then be pit against the other 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 999 people participating in this trial.  

??? : "What?"

Request for FURTHER explanation acknowledged...

You are to build an empire with the resources and points allotted to you and then combat your peers to see which race is dominant in the universe..."

??? : "What points?"

You have been allotted points like every other competitor, ten thousand for your species. These may be used to change the fabric of reality and alter it in certain ways. For example, if you wish to create a certain element, you need only say "Search Elements" select your desired element and "buy" it with your allotted points. Be mindful that once you run out you will be unable to create more without going through the proper procedures...

The man, who had been suddenly thrown into this situation decided to try out the command which had been suggested to him by the mysterious window.

Man : "Search Elements"

A table appeared in-front of him, but it appeared some elements were missing..

Available ElementsNumberNameCost per Poltep3Lithuim54Beryllium55Boron56Carbon5

Man : "Well this is certainly interesting... A poltep??? What is that?"

Request for explanation acknowledged

A Poltep is the smallest universal unit of measurement.

Man : "What about the first two elements? Hydrogen and Helium? Why aren't they there... And what about the other elements, why are there only 4 elements available?"

The two requested elements are unavailable due to the user lacking the means to store them.

Other higher tier elements will become available once the users civilization reaches the required tier.  

Man : "Well that is just great... Now, how am I supposed to build an empire with only elements?"

Request for explanation acknowledged

You are not limited to elements. Anything is available as long as the rules of the universe allow it.

Higher tier "units" or "technology" require more points to unlock. To start, say "Search starter packs"

The search has been customized to your world, so you will not get any alien civilians or civilizations unless you wish to search for them.

Man : "Interesting... Search Starter Packs"

This pack favors rapid conquest with little thought to farming or economy.Spartan Pack10,0001525151024The Spartans are by far the most skilled warriors among all of the starting packs,

having the highest possible combat skill while still keeping their farming at

a decent level of 4. They are nigh on unstoppable in battle, and while not as

directly combat focused as the Viking pack, still have major advantages for a warring civilizationRoman Pack10,000555757The Romans are a far fabled Empire, which conquered most of the Mediterranean

They Legions incredibly strong for an economic based civilization, but their low

starting population and low reproductive rate and tendency for corruption can

make them a risky choice if one cannot secure his boarders quickly.

After reading them through he decided upon the legendary Spartan Warriors, seeing as how the Roman pack had warned against early aggression.

You have chosen "Spartan Starter Pack" For your first civilization.

Which type of government do you want?

Man : "What are the options?"

Any option is available for government type, and government type can be selected at any time by saying "Show Government Panel". Be warned, your populous may not take kindly to a drastic change, such as from republic to dictatorship, but all changes can be forced to be accepted with if you spend points to accelerate your people's acceptance. As a new civilization you have the option to pick whichever government type you want right now without your populous. When they are created they will naturally accept this as their way of life, and will defend it to their last.
