Your <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink> is composed of a set of <mlink to="planets">planets</mlink>. Starting at first with one it will grow through <mlink to="battles">conquest</mlink> of uninhabited planets or enemy ones. The overall <mlink to="technology">technological advance</mlink> of your <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink> can be improved through <mlink to="technology">research</mlink>. The <mlink to="fleets">fleets</mlink> you build will provide it with defenses against hostiles and help with its expansion. Of course all of this costs <mlink to="money">money</mlink>. But don't be too greedy because <mlink to="emp_conc_cor">corruption</mlink> might settle on your planets.

|

What makes great <mlink to="empire">empires</mlink> is their citizens. <mlink to="emp_conc_pop">Population</mlink> growth is as such essential. One major factor in LegacyWorlds is <mlink to="emp_conc_happ">happiness</mlink>. It reflects the overall satisfaction of your citizens. Be careful to keep them happy or they might <mlink to="emp_conc_revo">revolt</mlink>.

<section id="topics_flt" title="Fleets" linkto="fleets">

|

<mlink to="fleets">Fleets</mlink> are sets of <mlink to="ships">ships</mlink> you can use either to defend yourself or attack other planets. Each <mlink to="fleets">fleet</mlink> can be composed of <mlink to="ships">ships</mlink> of several different <mlink to="ship_cat">categories</mlink>. Those <mlink to="fleets">fleets</mlink> can be <mlink to="fleets_moving">moved</mlink> from <mlink to="planet">planet</mlink> to <mlink to="planet">planet</mlink> according to a particular set of rules. When faced with enemy <mlink to="fleets">fleets</mlink> they of course engage in <mlink to="battles">battle</mlink>.
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
In order to have <mlink to="fleets">fleets</mlink> you first of all have to <mlink to="ipp_own_bw">build them</mlink>. You also have to possess the required <mlink to="technology">technologies</mlink>.

<section id="topics_tech" title="Technology" linkto="technology">

<mlink to="technology">Technology</mlink> allows you to improve your <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink> as a whole. A certain amount of <mlink to="tech_budg">research points</mlink> is granted to you each <mlink to="ticks_tick">day tick</mlink> according to your <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink>'s <mlink to="emp_conc_pop">population</mlink>. Using those points in various <mlink to="ech_topic_cat">research fields</mlink> allows for <mlink to="tech_topic_stat">new scientific breakthroughs</mlink>. <mlink to="tech_topic_stat">Implementing</mlink> those newly discovered <mlink to="tech_list">technologies</mlink> allows your whole <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink> to benefit from them. <mlink to="technology">Scientific knowledge</mlink> also provides you access to <mlink to="tech_law">laws</mlink> that you can choose to <mlink to="tech_law_status">enact</mlink> or not. Those <mlink to="techl_laws">laws</mlink> and <mlink to="tech_list">technologies</mlink> apply modifiers to various parameters in the game, either positively or negatively.
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
Not all <mlink to="tech_list">research topics</mlink> may be accessible to your <mlink to="empire">empire</mlink> and you might have to use <mlink to="diplo_res">diplomatic exchanges</mlink> to acquire some <mlink to="tech_list">technologies</mlink>.
