<para>When you start a &konquest; game, a settings window pops up.
|
|
From here you need to enter player names, decide the number of
|
|
planets, and how many turns are allowed. (Don't worry, you can add
|
|
more later) You can also reject the map, until a you find a galaxy
|
|
layout you like. After this, just click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>
|
|
to start the game.</para>

<para>The Planet Status indicator on the right is
|
|
your source for intelligence on the state of the Galaxy. Your spies
|
|
will report on the status of your rivals, but not on the
|
|
native-controlled planets. The information present in the display is:
|
|
<guilabel>Planet name</guilabel>, <guilabel>Owner</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Production</guilabel> rate, fleet strength
|
|
(<guilabel>Ships</guilabel> and <guilabel>Kill
|
|
percent</guilabel>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <guilabel>Production</guilabel> rate is the number of ships
|
|
that planet will construct in one turn. The fleet strength is the
|
|
number of <guilabel>Ships</guilabel> currently in place at the
|
|
planet. And, the <guilabel>Kill percent</guilabel> is a measure of the
|
|
effectiveness of the ships produced at that planet. Attack fleets take
|
|
the kill percentage of their planet of departure, and defense fleets
|
|
use the kill percentage of the planet they are defending.</para>

is also reccomended that you have your X server set to over 8bpp, as
