Ultimately they have to use these forces to take all the cities on the map, including those of the other players, who are often run by the computer's game engine. The captured cities are then set to produce new units as well.Īs the player's collection of cities expands, they are able to set aside some to produce more time-consuming types, like battleships. As they explore they will find other cities, initially independent, and can capture them with their armies. Players move these units on the map to explore the world, typically seeing the land within a one square radius around the unit. Cities take a particular number of turns to produce the various units, with the armies typically being the most rapid. The city can be set to build armies, aircraft, and various types of ships. The area immediately around the city is visible, but the rest of the world map is blacked out.
The players start the game controlling one of these cities each. Randomly distributed on the land are a number of cities. The map normally consists of numerous islands, although a variety of algorithms were used in different versions of the game, producing different styles of maps. At the start of a new game, a random game map is generated on a square grid basis.
