Starting as an Emperor
This topic describes what to do when you start the game as a new emperor.
Garden of Eden
Your new emperor avatar appears in the wilderness of your home world, usually in daylight. Your home world is a habitable world that has never been explored or visited by any other avatar in the game.
Wild animals will ignore you, even if you attack and injure them. If you die, you will respawn where you fall.
This is the Garden of Eden. Expore the world in peace. Choose a place to build a civilization.
Targoss
Targoss approaches and begins to speak.
Targoss is a non-player character of your race. Targoss teaches you the basics of moving around and interacting with the game environment.
Targoss gives you a torch that you may find invaluable when the sun sets.
Rise of Civilization
Build a city to assert your claim as the ascendent race on the planet.
Once you start building a city, wild animals will no longer ignore you. They may choose to eat you or attack you for other reasons. If you die, you will respawn in the city. The town square is a safe area in which wild animals cannot see you. Go there for refuge if needed.
This begins the Rise of Civilization. The ultimate goal of civilization is to develop space travel and spread your race into the galaxy.
