Alien Nations - Game Manual

Welcome to a world full of life and adventure, a world built and ruled by you, but one you may end up destroying.

Control the nation of your choice. The mushroom farming Pimmons are a race of blue-skinned, chubby and happy beings. They prefer sipping mushroom brandy before developing a prosperous civilization. The chocolate cake baking Amazons are wild warriors that like nature and an ordered life. Or the worm smoking Sajikis are insects with the instinctive desire to eliminate all other life forms so that only they get all the available food.

You alone determine if your people prosper in peace or if they go to war, plundering the worlds they colonize. Be careful in your choice of location of satellite towns, trading partners and allies.

By now you have an idea of how many possibilities ALIEN NATIONS offers and how complex the interaction in this world is. For a successful game, you have to secure your nation’s food supply, make sure you have sufficient inhabitants to pay the tax needed to cover your fixed costs, and build a functioning infrastructure that produces wood, rocks, iron and – if necessary – arms and luxury items. You have to establish diplomatic relations with other peoples, trade with them, and by founding new cities, increase the number of your settlements, and much more.

Have lots of fun with ALIEN NATIONS and success in exploring and developing its worlds.
