Description
Planetarion is a space-themed game, which has won numerous awards over its previous rounds, and has players from all over the world.In Planetarion you control a single planet and its ships in the vast wilderness of the universe. Your planet is in a galaxy, and it is up to you and your fellow players to make your galaxy work together to overcome the various dangers from outside. A galaxy that does not work together is a target. As well as playing together in galaxies, people also join together into alliances, to assist each other in dominating the universe.
Planetarion is a real time strategy game, in which the action is divided into 'ticks'.
A tick is an event in which the game is updated every hour, on the hour.
These in game updated events occurring each "tick", could be your ships getting closer to their destination, a construction being built or your scientists getting closer to their target research.
In a standard round one tick is a single hour, but special "speedrounds" can be as quick as one a minute. This means that communication and coordination are important aspects of the game -and as such many people use a program called IRC to co-ordinate effectively.
